Karl,

Thanks for reply. To be clear the original decision to categorize_type 
as Movie, seems consistent, as it was based on the original eit data. 
The eit had no subtitle, and the category shows up as  Film - Comedy.

What caused me a problem is that I am adding the subtitle later. By then 
the recording is defined as a movie. I'm fiddling around with mysql, but 
the more general case this could not be changed by "change recording 
metadata" through the gui.

Mythweb doesnt seem to have the restriction/logic, and clicking on 
"Metadata Homepage" takes you direct to the correct episode on tvdb.
