Some tools I've modified or made. Ask me if you're curious. They're all written in Perl.
 
mytharchive      A wrapper for myth_archive_job.pl, which moves single recordings around.
mythdump      Dump the database, usually prior to rsync-ing to another machine.
mythmanage      A larger wrapper for myth_archive_job.pl, which moves multiple recordings to other storage.
myth-postupdate      Set mythfrontend suid root so it gets clock priority, and update my own canned_searches.conf.php (until MythWeb does includes).
mythpowerbutton.sh      Start or stop the frontend from the remote control. (From Fedora Myth(TV)ology)
mythreconcile      Report on what the database thinks is recorded versus the recordings on disk.
remote-Tk-grid

MythTV Telnet/Perl/Tk Remote Control

     A Telnet/Perl/Tk remote control [Zip]
This is an on-screen mousable remote control that uses MythTV's Telnet interface. It let me put aside my physical remote since I generally watch TV while using my main computer. It's terribly incomplete, and could be extended in all manner of ways (like simulating specific models of remote) but it works for me for now and could for you too if you're not afraid of a little Perl. The graphic control calls a command-line script, so you could make your own graphic interface to that script. MythTV's Telnet interface is very fast and robust so buttons can be pressed as fast and as often as on a physical remote.

Ask me if I've made any changes lately.
