Actually, recent changes in MythNews in the SVN version will do this
(downloading the enclosures) except it just downloads to a temporary
folder and plays using the Internal player. If someone wanted to extend
this to import into MythVideo or even Watch Recordings as appropriate,
that would be great. Seems that between the stuff in MythNews now and
the importing process from the mythiptv script it would do great.
