[mythtv-users] Can I bind a keypress to a specific action in "watch recordings"?

Alternatively, is there a way of selecting a bunch of 50 files and then

Sounds like a good tip, thanks---provided that adding each recording to the
playlist isn't as laborious in terms of submenu selection as actually
invoking the transcoding job!

Would it be possible to populate the playlist with an sql query? I can
easily produce a table of the recordings I want to transcode---it's simply
the ones for which a cutlist is defined! I'd just do something along the
lines of

select title, subtitle, basename from recorded where cutlist = 1 ;
