 I bought a Dragon from Stormlogic/mythic.tv, and have run into a problem
 that the fine support people there attribute to a possible bug with
 MythVideo.

 For reasons unknown, when I switch to Browse view, I not only see the
 videos contained in /myth/video, I also see all of the folders and files
 in the home directory (/home/mythtv), whether they're videos or not.  Any
 changes to the contents of the home directory is reflected in MythVideo.
 This makes the Browse view completely unusable for me.

 Another symptom, which I believe is related, is that when I'm in the
 default view (Gallery?), the first thing I see is two folders, one
 labelled "videos", which contains my videos, and another which is
 unlabelled and contains all the files and folders in the home directory
 (/home/mythtv).  As I understand, I should not see either of these
 folders, and indeed, there is no folder named "videos" in the file system
 under /myth/video.

 The Stormlogic people have never run into these issues before, and I can't
 understand what I might have done to cause this to happen, but obviously,
 something is amiss.

 I've verified in Utilities/Setup / Media Settings / Videos that the
 directory containing videos is indeed /myth/video.  I've also looked
 carefully in /myth/video to see whether there is a symlink to
 /home/mythtv, but all I see is:

 drwxr-xr-x  2 mythtv mythtv 4096 Jan 14 23:36 .covers
 lrwxrwxrwx  1 mythtv mythtv   18 Jan 14 23:25 adultes ->
 /mnt/video_adultes
 drwxr-xr-x  2 mythtv mythtv 4096 Dec 23 00:25 archive
 lrwxrwxrwx  1 mythtv mythtv   18 Jan 14 23:25 enfants ->
 /mnt/video_enfants
 drwxrwxr-x  2 mythtv mythtv 4096 Dec 23 00:25 motion

 (the symlinks are to network mounted drives containing my videos)

 Any clue as to what might be happening?

 Thanks,
 Alain.
