my bad... yeah, i should've put a digit check in there. thanks for finding that, i'll fix it in cvs shortly. i have dns setup for my lan so i never hit that scenario in my testing.
the name stimpy is coming from the mythbackend. when a show is recorded it keeps track of which host recorded the show. this is in case you have multiple backends recording, then the primary backend can find the shows on the appropriate backend. if you ever go to such a configuration, you might want to get myth to stick the ip address into the database instead of the name.
euphorical, rubenonrye, and myself have worked on it in the last few months. however, i haven't heard from the other two in a few weeks now so i guess they're busy with other things.
i'm currently working on getting commercial skipping working. it seems to be working for the most part... but i've found that myth isn't always detecting the commercials correctly. also, mplayer seeking in xbmc is not as accurate as i'd hoped so i've had to tweak the code a little. seeking becomes progressively less accurate the further you get into the file. i'm almost ready to check the python code back into cvs... however, it requires some c++ patches to xbmc code as well and i'm not sure how long that'll take to be accepted into the xbmc cvs tree.
the next stuff on the list might be the program guide and the ability to make changes to upcoming shows that may or may not be recorded. i'd also like to expose more xbmc gui controls to python.
