Here is mine

https://github.com/bennettpeter/mythscripts/blob/master/install/opt/mythtv/bin/userjob_recording.sh

Note that the script depends on other scripts in the same repository.

It requires you set it as a user job in the recording rule. It is not
perfect, it does not work on News programs and such like which do not
have individual episodes. Don't set it on those, it will report them all
as failed.

this is for 0.28 but I don't think there were any differences from 0.27.
