[mythtvnz] Testers needed for MythKiwi Bulk Meta Grabber program

[Nick Rout]

Initial reaction - it needs to better identify what is a TV show.

for example stargate.atlantis.s02e13.critical.mass.ws.dvdrip.xvid-saints.avi
is not picked up as a TV show.

Have you ever considered using thetvdb.com (which has a well defined
api) and/or themoviedb.org (ditto).

Imdb apparently doesn't like scraping which is why myth is moving to
tmdb. See recent discussion in mythtv-user mailing list.
