I meant more for ripped/downloaded shows. The way the recordings window sorts 
shows by show name and then episode would be nice to have for shows that have 
been obtained outside of MythTV. ie. I download Top Gear, Fifth Gear, Hex, 
and some various other shows from the UK, etc. I would like to be able to 
have these organized in the same way MythTV does recorded shows. I assume 
this is what you meant you wanted to add.

Another thing that came up on the users list is a way to have MythVideo ignore 
a folder within a searched folder. ie a hidden file like .nomythvideo within 
a folder for which to ignore all video files in.
