thanks
set up a samba share of that folder, or wherever your video recordings are stored.
the gui skin can easily be edited to show an extra button for mythtv... i've done it... (see below). i added the following to my home.xml file in the skin folder
<control>
<description>myth tv button</description>
<visible>yes</visible>
<type>button</type>
<execute>q:\scripts\mytv.py</execute>
<id>1116</id>
<label>myth tv</label>
<posx>270</posx>
<posy>153</posy>
<width>180</width>
<height>35</height>
<font>font14</font>
<onleft>10</onleft>
<onright>100</onright>
<onup>9</onup>
<ondown>2</ondown>
<align>center</align>
<textoffsetx>13</textoffsetx>
</control>
this is what mytv.xml looks like for me too:
<mytv>
<host>192.168.1.10</host>
<database>mythconverg</database>
<port>3306</port>
<user>mythtv</user>
<password>mythtv</password>
<mythtvport>6543</mythtvport>
<mythtvstatusport>6544</mythtvstatusport>
<mythtvprotocol>13</mythtvprotocol>
<pathprefix>smb://%h/video/videorec</pathprefix>
<localcopypath>e:\videos\</localcopypath>
</mytv>
