MythicalLibrarian is a cool little piece of code, thank you for all your hard work!
I currently use a little script I found on the internet and irexec to switch between Mythtv and XBMC (ubuntu 9.10). I have played a little with an earlier version of MythicalLibrarian, but I live in Japan. Show names are in Japanese, there is no site to get show info from, and the EPG data is pretty bad. The genera given in the EPG data is often incorrect, and inconsistent. The poor librarian gets pretty confused pretty quick.
My question is, could recording groups be used to put items into the XBMC library?
I have a recording group called "news" that gets 3 different news shows recorded into it. Could "news" be the name of the show in the XBMC library, but actually, when you clicked "news" there would be 3 different shows, with unique individual names.
I could then make an NFO file for the recording group, and art would be shared with all shows in the group.
I don't need any kind of plot summery or actor data.
If I could just see the title, and air date of the show I would be happy.
I realize there are probably not a lot of people who would like to "trick" XBMC into thinking a recording group was a show, but it would be very helpful for me. Is this something that could be done with minimal effort?
