<div>In regards to your last question, you have to run the Video Manager on the frontend to import videos into the metadata of MythVideo which is where, I think, the UPnP stuff gets it from. You shouldn't drop files into your recordings folders. Doesn't do any good unless you import it with a utility like
ragetvgrab.pl or <a href="http://myth.rebuilddatabase.pl">myth.rebuilddatabase.pl</a>.</div>
