mythvideo and myth2ipod script

I modified the myth2ipod script to work with mythvideo, I was wondering if anyone wanted it? I'll post it if there is any demand.

The script is 99 % of the original script, all I did was change a few lines (to work with non standardized file names) and change the database query lines.

No Problem, at least my wasted time will benefit someone, if you have any problems with it let me know and i'll try to fix them.

The script should be able to compensate for any special characters in the file names.

Usage (the same as myth2ipod):

video2ipod video_directory video_name

Thanks, man. I'm running it now. I got perl warnings:
Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/local/bin/
video2ipod line 99.
Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/local/bin/
video2ipod line 105.
But it seems to be perfectly happy since I didn't use a filename with
any bad characters.

Happy to get some of my movies onto my iPod along with my TV shows...

I don't seem to get the errors, see if this one fixes them.

When it finished, it gave me files called .ipod.xml and .ipod.mov so
I'm guessing it didn't pull the metadata from mysql correctly. I'll
take a look at the query when I get some time and see if I can fix it
up. Not sure what's different between my data and yours. I just
renamed the files and hand-edited the xml for now.

I found my issue. I added an extra / at the end of the directory
argument so I ended up with two /'s in $to_file which made the query
fail. I'm adding a regex to strip off the last / of the directory if
it's there and not worry about it again.

Thanks!
