<div>The simple answer is, blank out the path in the frontend

Ok, I did this ... and now I can see everything correctly in MythWeb,
and in in the Myth Front end ... but I can't play anything in the front
end! It lists fine, finding the files and directories, etc. But
pressing [Play] just flashes black and comes back to the same screen
(like when you have a broken video file). Nothing is written to the <br>
mythfrontend.log ???<br>
<br>
it's a bit confusing. I do have mplayer configured as an external
player, and before making the change you suggested, static video played
fine.<br>

Ah ... I needed to RTFM - "External Players DO NOT WORK with Storage
Groups."<br>
<br>
So this is fixed, mostly.<br>
<br>
Half my videos are still not showing up in MythWeb, I checked the
permissions, they seem identical to ones that do... Shrug. I'll do
some more debugging after work.<br>
<br>
