Yes.  For posterity, and so Mike Dean has a link to give people when
they ask, *anything* downloaded by current JAMU or mythvideo will work
in the Watch Recordings hunt.  Also, all the former naming schemes are
acceptable.  This includes:

A Movie Name_coverart/fanart/banner.png/jpg/gif
A Show Name.png/jpg/gif
A Show Name_coverart/fanart/banner.png/jpg/gif
A Show Name Season #.png/jpg/gif
A Show Name Season #_coverart/fanart/banner.png/jpg/gif
A Show Name S#.png/jpg/gif
A Show Name S#_coverart/fanart/banner.png/jpg/gif
A Show Name Season # Episode #.png/jpg/gif
A Show Name Season # Episode #_coverart/fanart/banner.png/jpg/gif
A Show Name S#E#.png/jpg/gif
A Show Name S#E#_coverart/fanart/banner.png/jpg/gif
A Show Name #x#.png/jpg/gif
A Show Name #x#_coverart/fanart/banner.png/jpg/gif

All of the above are acceptable, and tested.  Note that the show names
must match *identically*.  Currently, I'm running w/ only images
downloaded by the MythVideo UI and for recordings, by Jamu.  All are
working perfectly as of latest trunk.  So please definitely make sure
to rm all your old libs and plugin libs before installing the new
version (rm /usr/lib/libmyth* && rm /usr/lib/mythtv/plugins/*)
(update for /usr/local as necessary).
