Thanks!

One issue with MythTV that has come up is the known (and documented) issue of the relevance value for genre.

MythWeb uses the "zero" value for color coding the entry. Replacement DD starts with one and is random (relevance value  not relevant)
If you convert ones to zero, the color coding is random.
I guess starting with one makes it better for MythTV so the colors aren't random, just the same.

Again, this is a known (and documented) deficiency of the current replacement DD service.  I don't consider this a show-stopper.  My initial goal is 
to provide a service "good enough" for when TMS DataDirect goes away.   JSON is of course available (and more developed).
