Thanks. I solved this now.

But there is one problem with these hard coded structure if the show
name contain colon (":") like "Star Trek: The Next Generation".

If I put ":" in the folder/file name Windows cannot read the name over
Samba because of colon and "Star Trek: Enterprise" appears like
"S4J184~E". You can imagine what happens with fifty files in the same
folder.


Example (folder structure):
Star Trek The Next Generation / Star Trek The Next Generation.S01E01.ext

Real name is "Star Trek: The Next Generation"  (with colon after Trek)
and the screenshot name is "Star Trek: The Next Generation Season
1x1_screenshot.jpg" and this picture never appears in mythvideo.

Ideas except "who cares about Windows"?
