Great idea. I can also think of a simpler, easier to implement feature
that's similar and might be an acceptable first-pass at trying to
implement this. My standalone DVD player has a 'digest' button that
will bring up a scene index for movies that aren't broken down into
chapters. It does this by grabbing a frame every X minutes (I think X
is 10; don't remember if it's configurable or not). It's great for
SVCDs that don't have chapter marks. It should be relatively easy for
Myth to do this; the code is already there to grab a preview image at X
seconds, and it can be done on the fly.
Not quite what you were going for, but certainly easier in the
short-term.
