There is already a plugin for mythtv that uses this

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVodka

I have not tried it as I a waiting hoping for something that is more
integrated ideally with a better user interface, easier to setup and
no scripts.  As I am only interested in BBC iPlayer and not interested
in other things the plugin does e.g. Hulu etc it also puts me off a
bit especially if you can't easily disable them.

There is also a huge thread at the Ubuntu forums discussing this plugin.

If anyone gives it a try and can post screenshots or just general
feedback (specially on BBC iPlayer) I may give it a try but it seems a
bit cobbled together instead of a proper plugin at the moment.  I may
have the wrong impression however.

Hope this helps
