[mythtv-users] Announcing TVWish Beta -- A super wishlist for Myth

Would be nice to be able to also have an option for "Write a review on
IMDB" after watching a movie in the delete menu. I'd be far more
likely to actually write an IMDB review with that option :)

I see that most of the Academy Award Best Picture winners were already
in the 'goodmovies.txt' list. I added the major competetitors for Best
Picture from the various years (which presumably are good movies too
:)

It would be intersting to have separate files for winners of other
film festivals - off the top of my head, there's Golden Globes, Screen
Actors Guild, Cannes, and Sundance. Attached is a quick hack of
"Cannes.txt" - some international characters aren't right, and I'm not
entirely sure how the foreign equivalent of "The" should be entered
(i.e. before, or after), but it's a start.

> On another note, I simplified the install process.  It is now just:
>         tar xvf tvwish.tar ; cd tvwish
>         make test (optional)
>         make personal
>         ... personalize your choices ...
>         ... add entry to crontab ...

Works great. FWIW, I chose to untar this into my mythtv install dir,
and I chose to take advantage of the /etc/cron.weekly dir to add a
simple executable that runs the cronjob. Seems like running once a day
is a might much to me.

Works for me. Thanks!
