There are many ideas/scripts/patches providing similar functionality.
Even if yours isn't accepted as is, parts of it may be useful in
creating the final functionality.

Do you mean you created a replacement for the MythWeb videos section?
If so, Chris Petersen (xris on #mythtv-users and #mythtv) will likely be
very interested. The reason MythWeb's video interface leaves so much to
be desired is because Chris wants a complete rewrite rather than spend
time fixing what's there. (Just make sure your work is based on SVN
trunk and follow his coding standards and design philosophy.)

The imdb.pl script shipped with mythtv has been updated (in SVN trunk
and 0.20-fixes branch) and works. Chances are you saw the working
version that someone downloaded from SVN and posted for someone else...

(or, for download:

).
