Appreciate the detailed reply.  I agree that we have several ways to
separate movies from TV shows, based on things like recording groups,
storage groups, etc.  I'll noodle on that one based on your suggestions.

I'm still not sure the best way to determine the year of release for a
recorded movie.  I don't think Myth has that information in its metadata.
If I was ripping a DVD of my own, I would just manually encode the year in
the movie filename as it appears on the DVD jacket.
