I know there are other solutions for this via softlinks and stuff, but none of them are ideal, especially with commercial skipping now in XBMC.
In Videos
go to add source -> browse -> TV Recordings

From there I select a recording group, lets say "default"

From here XBMC gets the show Titles, but scraping for individual episodes fails, presumably because it is using the mythtv file name ChannelID_Startime which is something like "1522_20140330103000.mpeg"
If the source is obviously a pvr source, and it knows that pvr source is a myth source, then I dont see why it can't get relevant info from the mythtv database to send to theTVDB, or just use mythtv's info (it already does a metadata scrape of the TVDB and uses most of it in the Live TV section) rather than just trying to scrape the filename.

Getting this to work would allow for plugins like Next Aired and TvTunes workings, and since I have recording groups in myth I can create 2 recording groups, one that is my TV series, which are in DVD order (Breaking Bad, Workaholics, dramas, comedies), and another group that is absolute order for things that are daily or more recurring and I only keep the latest 10 (The Daily show, Around the Horn, Pawn Stars).

I dont know where to start at trying to implement this myself but I am willing to try any suggestions.

I am using mythTV .26 and XBMC 13 beta 3. All on Ubuntu 12.04

I can't upgrade MythTV to .27 till a stable openelec build is out for XBMC.

This is the log output I get when it tries to scrape.

Again this is from adding my mythtv source via "Add Source" -> "Browse" -> "TV Recordings"

On the very last one it scans too, just for fun i put a .nfo file created from thetvdb.pl which MythTV uses in the same recordings directory, just to see if XBMC would see it. It cant thought I would assume from the way the video is linked in the plugin.

Does anyone else have this problem. I dont want to submit a ticket if this is just some feature not supported because I am using MythTV .26 and it works fine in MythTV .27
