Here is the guide to what Mythvideo will parse:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo_File_Parsing. Make sure to read
the text and not just look at the examples or you may miss some stuff.
If I were you I would use one of the several programs/scripts that are
available to rename media so that it conforms to thetvdb.com. They
will use the thetvdb.com API to rename the files. That way long term
all of you media will work the various grabbers in mythtv or other
projects like XBMC. I personally use a python script called tvnamer.py
from the command line (http://github.com/dbr/tvnamer). You can run it
on your whole directory, but I usually run it on the top directory for
each series so that I can keep an eye on what it is doing more easily.
There are several others and some have a gui if you like that.
