Yes, this is exactly what I mean by video content in one place. I
don't really get the difference between recordings and videos. I mean,
they are all videos, right?

Fair enough.

Yes, I have been using this script for years. The only problem is that
you will have to populate all the fields yourself. If this script
could "import" the stuff that is already entered in MythVideo, it
would save a lot of time. And a lot of button pressing if I'm not
decided between watching a movie recorded from tv or ripped from dvd,
which according to MythTV is two very different things.

Yes, it was removed somewhere between 0.23 and 0.24. And it still
works, but every time someone mentions it here on the lists there
there seems to be several warnings about using it.
