Hi Mike - this looks like a pretty interesting script.

I intend to try and get this working with 0.25 (mythtvosd being broken in
0.24) when I upgrade at the weekend and was wondering if you have attempted
to get this working with the hash tag or search word filter that you
mentioned?

When I tried to use this with 0.24 - before I realised that mythtvosd was
deprecated - I got the following response against some recordings (but not
all) - Error: MythControl: Failed to parse duration.  I assume that this
has something to do with not being able to parse the duration of the
recording for some reason (rather than being an error in relation to osd).
 Have you come across this before?

Kind regards
Chris
