[mythtv-users] Watched Recordings

I know that myth doesn't officially have multi-user support, but I
also know that it keeps track of the different frontends.
Here's my problem:
I have 2 crack-addicted mythtv watchers. If there's something new on
the 'tivo' (I can't even get them to call it by a proper name)
they're going to watch it right now. I could record 20 hours of stuff
a day, and they would probably put an effort in to watch it all (or
at least the shows they were interested in. I do have a couple they
don't care about, but mostly, if it's new, they're going to gorge
themselves on it. I realize that this is a different issue
altogether, and I try really hard to phase them out of the sitting in
front of the TV for hours a day, but that's another battle. As is,
I'm still fighting with them over live TV. Anyway. Back on point. So,
what I want, is to know what *I* have watched. I could give a shit
about what *THEY* have watched, because that's basically everything
on the myth box.
Is this new feature going to be able to discern my watching habits
from theirs, provided I watch all my shows on a separate frontend? If
so, how will I have to go about configuring this? If not, where
should I start looking in the code to start making changes (mind you,
I will have the code on one screen, learning C++ on another, and a
big old book on C++ in a nutshell handy, because I don't know C. I
know a bit of VB, and Perl)?
