I do have recording groups already. though fairly wide categories.
almost 5000 recordings in total but the group most likely to have it
was 1200 shows.
but ultimately it came down to the wifal unit asking "do you have
anything about xxxxx". if it was just do you have the 2nd episode
of my show or such that is easy. but this would need keyword search 
on all the shows and descriptions. groups would not have helped.
even searching by title wouldnt work as it could have been called 
anything.

though the myth_recent_recordings.pl script seems to be
the best option.

./myth_recent_recordings.pl --plain_text --recordings -1 | grep -i 'string'
