 0.27.4+ has this feature: it prepends the reference number with ttvdb.py_
or tmdb3.py_

That said, it only does this for new rules/recordings. It will be up to you
to update your rules and old recordings, no automatic conversion is done
for existing stuff.

insert ttvdb.py_ in front of the number.
For individual recordings, you can quickly update an entire series with
database commands:

mysql -umythtv -p mythconverg
<enter database password>
Update a series all at once, for example:
update recorded set inetref='ttvdb.py_258744' where title = 'the following';

Check your progress with:
select inetref,title,subtitle from recorded order by title;
