I would be happy enough if someone could simply tell me "it cannot be
done". If I knew that I'd just cut my losses and transfer the "orphaned"
video files into mythvideo.
If I am to go down this path I figured simply to sort the recorded data
by date and cut the files created during the down time. Is there a
better way to clean up video files not in the database??
