Correct.  It's a command line MythVideo contrib script.  It can be run
as a cron job to grab artwork for current and upcoming recordings.  No
GUI at all.

It's there because Doug say the need for a script that filled the gap
for the (unfinished) support for artwork in Watch Recordings, and
filled it.  Were it not for his work, it's unlikely any users would be
using it at all.
