If you had gotten by with direct manipulation of the database, those 
won't cease to function. The only code that would require significant 
rework would be ones that use the old assorted MythVideo functions, and 
you can find translations for most of those attached elsewhere in this 
thread.  Other than that, it's just some minor changes to convert old 
programs over.

I've got code for a FuseFS program that does basically this.  It just 
follows the formatting used by mythrename.pl.  I could drop this into 
the Recorded class without significant effort.  I'm not sure what other 
'file oriented functions' one would need.
