It's not clear from your message whether you are aware of the
Global/INFO keybinding, which outside playback displays all the
metadata MythTV knows about the highlighted recording.

During playback the binding rotates between the three OSD modes. I
agree that it would be terrific to be able to bring up some more
metadata via INFO binding (or via the Pause button);

SchedulesDirect' data comes straight from Tribune Media, which also
provides the data to TiVo, Zap2It, and many other DVR and online TV
listings. It's only MythTV (as far as I know) that completely exposes
the metadata, let alone permits searching for it in so many ways. Yet
another huge plus for MythTV.
