Get it from here:

  http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Find_orphans.py

If you are using it to delete things, be aware that in later MythTV
versions, the deleting can take a while and find_orphans.py will
report the same files as being there when it lists the orphans again
after a delete command.  Just keep using its "Refresh list" command
until the files that are being deleted disappear from the list.  But
it does no harm if you tell it again to delete files that are already
in the process of being deleted.
