[mythtv-users] Plex integration

[Min Idzelis]

I'm working on a python script that pulls in missing season/episode
metadata (mines always missing for some reason) optionally cuts
commercials, optionally transcodes, optionally extracts subtitles and adds
them to the transcode, and then symlinks the file in Show/Season/ShowName -
SXXeYY format, and then pings plex to refresh the library. It can run in
batch or as a user job.

Its close to done, but still sorta sloppy. Let me know if you want an early
version.

The myth channel for plex is very buggy. Skipping/fast forwarding often
crashes my backend. I much prefer the amazing plex interface. The Plex
interface pulls in even more metadata about the show.

I'll probably put a version up on github soon, but I'm working on this in
my very limited spare time, so its pretty slow going.
