[mythtvnz] Podcasts in Mythtv

[James Booth]

Cheers - gpodder was a good call. I have set up scripts that run from cron to 
update and download my podcast subscriptions (using gpo) into a 'Podcasts' 
folder in my music tree, and then get Myth to rescan the music folder with a 
telnet call. Seems to work sweet, and gpodder takes care of clearing out the 
old episodes.
