I didnt like mythvideo at all. It was especially too clumsy to work well with my tv-series collection. Plus I wanted that seperated.. One module for movies/dvd - one for series. The series module should have a few features of its own, that are unnessesary for the video part:

• use its own namespace and directory (seperate from mythvideo)
• read information not using imdb.pl but a tv.com/ragetv script
• change default view
• change list view to show all episodes in the order they were added to the fs - so you can watch the most recent episodes
• (optional) read tv schedule for series and save the information about the next episodes in the overview (so you know when the next series/episode comes out
  

In order to make my life not-so-complicated, i decided to go following path:

• make a copy of mythvideo
• rename it to mythseries and compile it
• add the new module to my current frontend
• try to get different folder/xx-settings than mythvideo
  
• remove unnecessary code (ie. dvd, vcd playback)
• add new scripts
• change views
