I forgot to mention I've tried using Jamu and TTVDB scripts, and I can
get the metadata for videos, but not recordings. Unless I'm missing
something of course, it doesn't appear that they recognise recordings,
only videos. If I symlink my recordings into the video directory, it
sees them, and appears to do the lookup, but nothing appears for
metadata.
