In the contrib directory there's a script, myth.rebuilddatabase.pl,
that will (quoting from the script):

## Here is what this program is supposed to do.
## It first scans through your myth database and displays all shows listed
## in the recorded table.
## It will then traverse your myth directory (set with --dir /YOURMYTHDIR) and
## find all your .nuv files and check them against the database to make sure
## they have an entry.  If no entry exists, you will be prompted for the title
## and subtitle of the recording and a record will be created.
