This is very good to hear.<br>
<br>
If I may suggest something for consideration and discussion, though, I<br>
think there are some back-end considerations to keep in mind as well.<br>
<br>
Right now, every media type that Myth deals with is handled in vastly<br>
different ways. If I record a TV show through a tuner, I watch it<br>
through one facility. If I download an episode via BitTorrent, it's<br>
lumped in with all of the other videos not capture directly by Myth's<br>
tuners.</blockquote><div><br>No one is forcing you to put your external content into MythVideo. There are plenty of ways (ragetvgrab, etc) that already import TV episodes into Watch Recordings and it's a very simple scripting chore to do it if you provide all the input. </div>

So all of the media known to Myth is available through one interface, as<br>
opposed to a bunch of disjointed plugins each giving their own<br>
interface. Yes, plugins are still extremely valuable for describing to<br>
Myth different media object types, the sort of metadata that needs to be<br>
kept on each media type and how to get it, etc. The devil is in the<br>
details, of course, but the payoff is huge.</blockquote><div><br>Perhaps, but music isn't the same as video and how I browse for Movies is different than how I browse for TV shows. I like cover art for movies and preview/descriptions for TV shows. Watch Recordings and MythVideo achieve those purposes for me so it can be to each their own to some degree. I don't want to see my movies with my TV shows.<br>
