I've been having a play with this. I thought I'd just enter data from
stdin for now to make sure I'm giving it the right data etc. Here's
what I found:

1) It doesn't like rtsp or mms URLs - only http. Urllib.py is the one
that gives an error here. I think a lot of video content is likely to
be delivered over those protocols.

2) It would be good if there was a command line switch that just
cleared everything out. Because I'd run it with rtsp and mms URLs the
download switch kept giving me errors which I think I may have been
getting stuck on. In the end I dropped the 4 mythnettv tables and
started again.

3) After dropping the tables I re-ran with the todoremote switch (and
an http URL this time) and then I ran with the download switch and
this is what I got:

[mythtv at elm mythnettv]$ ./mythnettv --todoremote

Is this because I've done something wrong, or is there a bug?

PS, I have python-feedparser-4.1-1.fc5 installed.
