That reminds me of another idea I had...

A unified view for recordings and videos where the guide data can
be used to drive the visible list of movies. If you had a movie
on DVD, you would not record it you would just create a pointer
from between mythtvideo and the recordings list.

"deleting" the recording would simply delete that link.

Another idea would be to have a list of 5 videos from each
of your categories or directories in mythvideo show up in a
manner similar to the recordings. It could even be in the
same interface.

Some would be random lists. Other could be sequential.

When you delete entries, another would be selected from
the list of unwatched content based on a per category
setting.
