I've pretty much finished a patch to populate content into the XBMC TV Show library based on the VideoInfoTag containing the show title and original air date. http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/7197
However, even with that done there will be plenty of our Myth TV recorded content that will simply never have any information within thetvdb.org. Local shows, News etc.
I really would like to have one place to access all our TV Shows similar to what I now have with Movies after adding in a patch so they could be scraped from the myth:// source and viewed in the XBMC Movie library. http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/6560
All of the VideoInfoTag information is populated by the myth:// source. Does it make sense for this information to be pushed directly into the XBMC Video library if say the season and episode are set to 0 (episode > 0 is a real show as season 0 is for "Specials") - I can check if there is an original air date first and go from there (much like the existing patch in http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/7197
Any advice / concerns? What headaches might I run into trying to accomplish this?
