It's probably easy enough to put in, and I'm happy to do so if someone
(Geoff?) will tell me the appropriate mythbackend calls to start the
transcode.

Myth does this already.  go to "scheduled recordings" - it lists all of
the times the program is on.  Myth automatically picks the "best"
timeslot for a program to record in, there's no need for mythweb to
duplicate this effort.

It's all planned.  Unfortunately, the rent-paying work (ok, and the
new-toy-buying work) take precedence, and I haven't really had any spare
time to work on mythweb lately.

And after seeing http://csszengarden.com/ I'd also like to redo the
default theme (trying to convince my wife to help me - she's a wiz in
photoshop) entirely in css-friendly elements.  Then we could have one
set of html-type pages and let everything else be controlled by user
settings and a single css file.
