[mythtv-users] Merge metadata from different recording

[Argo Vela]

Hello,

Periodically the source/guide data is incorrect and as a result
I sometimes wind up with a situation where I have a set of
recordings -- one with the correct recording, and another with
the correct metadata.

Is there a method (or script) floating around to apply the metadata
from one recording to another?  Or, conversely, transfer the data
relevant to the file & recording to the record with the correct
metadata?

Were I to approach this programatically, my thought would be to
isolate those fields in the recorded* tables which apply either to
the metadata, or to the recording, then combine the correct fields
from each set into a single record.  Would there be any other
considerations?  Would any other tables be involved?  Would a patch
for this be seen as sane & useful, or is this too much of a fringe
issue?

Thanks,

AV.
