Patch has been applied to allow users to use their local database even without new data from thetvdb. It's working now. replace mythicalLibrarian.sh and it will use your current database until TheTvDb comes back up online and mythicalLibrarian's database can be updated again.
This is a perfect time to explain the doover.sh as well. doover.sh is just what it is named, it's a do-over. It records the jobs that have been run and allows you to re-run them if they've failed.
mythicalLibrarian will then delete the list, cycle through each and every failed job it has performed, and rebuild the list of failed jobs. This way if TheTvDb is down, it will be easy to redo the jobs. Also, if the information is not in TheTvDb, you can add it, then go back and re-run doover.sh.
Between the two of these, downtime of TheTvDb should mean minimal impact

Code:
sudo su mythtv
sudo chmod +x /home/mythtv/mythicalLibrarian/doover.sh
