Hmm, you can do that already. It's what I do all the time. Just make a
link in your video-dir to the directory you want to include and you can
change into that directory with crs-right. If you point your video dir
to / (which I wouldn't recommend doing, but I you need to, linux won't
keep you) you can browse all of the filesystem.

Another nice thing to do is: Set up an automounter for you cd/dvd-drive,
set it with a low latency time, so the device gets unmounted after a few
seconds, link the cd automountpoint to your video dir, and you can
browse all the video files on CD.

A nice thing is: MythVideo will only show you directories and video
files. I'll have to look if it will only show directories that contain
video files, but I guess so.
