I use the channel too but it is a little slow to load recordings etc.

I thought of simply adding the recordings directories to plex and authoring
an 'Agent' that queried the myth services API to get the appropriate titles
etc for the files it found in the directories.  This should speed up access
to the files etc.  If Matt is keen, perhaps he could look into that too :P

As an additional note, I really wish there was someway to watch in progress
recordings with Plex.
