[mythtv] Script to get Title & Subtitle given a cryptic mythtv filename.

[Andy Davidoff]

This seems like a pretty useful function to other clients as well.  I'd do
the substitution in SQL and put that code into a setting in the database to
ensure consistency between clients and to let people use the setup GUI to
tweak the transform.  This solves cross-client and cross-code issues...
