I offer not critique, ask lest I understand amis.
How does storing all your recordings in Watch Recordings not in Watch Videos offer \
you any benefit? Do you cut commercials or just mark them and let mythtv do the magic \
? I find marking does not work eg if I watch on tv using UNLA. My wife uses an apple \
TV and I use mythtv for apple TV which also ignores cuts. Myth4Apple has another \
severe gotcha it does not see Videos, only Recordings, so being able to store \
recordings would help. I've not bothered to look, but I've no doubt mysql could help.

Another thing over the years chaos happens. Having a backup of Recordings-of-Interest \
is easier than a mythtv db dump that's suddenly a few protocol revisions out of date.

Finally whatabout having Recordings and Videos share the same location ?
