    This is why I want to queue video, and then have it download to Myth a little at a time.

    Awesome program! I was looking at modifying some of the podcast aggregators out there to do exactly what you are doing. Glad i found it during the research phase... Anyways, bound a slight bug it looks like. I ran:
    ./mythnettv --url "http://video.google.com/videofeed?type=top100new&num=10" "Google Top 10"
    and in pulling in this video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4700946673439298759

    i got this error because of the non unicode characters i guess in the description:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "./mythnettv", line 946, in ?
    Sync(db, xmlfile, sys.argv[3])
