It's totally doable, you're already capturing most of the meta data you need and the rest is readily available. It's a case where the flexibility of the DVR isn't being used to it's advantage, it's still for the most part a glorified VCR. Let me know when you build it in and i'll go back to using an MCE for my primary system

One of the problems I can see is that the MCE interface doesn't work too well for large numbers of recordings, especially when you have multiple episodes of several shows. You can sort by date or title, which isn't really enough.

I wish MCE had Tivo's ability to display shows as folders, so for instance all episodes of L&O SVU are represented by a single entry on the recorded list. What would be even better would be if the last X days were shown as individual entries, whereafter they were collapsed into folders.

Yes!

I so want this... The sorting by air date and the "fill in the holes recording" are features I'd love to see in MCE (or plugin).
