Comment (by gnassas at mac.com):

 A new patch follows with further improvements based on comments from Otto
 Kolsi:

 {{{
 DB does not accept null values into the time columns. If user does not
 give starttime, script should either use current time or take file
 timestamp and use that. It might suggest one of these values by default.

 If 24-hour clock is used and user gives program length in minutes,
 script inserts endtime in 12-hour format to the DB. So that 60min
 program starts 21:00 and ends 10:00. Not sure if frontend cares about
 this but mythweb does not show these programs at all.

 Changing time format from HH:mm.. to hh:mm.. in the only time_format()
 call (time_format("yyyy-mm{on}-dd HH:mm{in}:ss" ...) fixes this issue
 for me. Not sure if this is okay for 12-hour users.
 }}}

 sorry about the HH/hh 12/24 hour thing, I was looking at the manpage as I
 coded that and still picked the wrong one :/

 With this update a reasonable default is chosen for program title so it's
 possible to run the script with no input and get acceptable results.
