[mythtv-users] Use external script with options to provide video.

[Rob Davis]

I want to use a script to provide channels and incorporate it into 
MythTv.  The script is called with 3 command line arguments, and records 
into a file called record.asf (from a remote slingbox).

First arguement is delay, second is duration (in seconds), the third 
arguement sets the channel on the remote slingbox.

Is there a way I can get mythtv to treat this as a tuner?  It would also 
be an idea to be able to kill the script when the channel is no longer 
needed?

The script is the one referenced here.  If someone wants to help build 
it in, it will give us native slingbox support.
