For preview images, we now have multiple per recording.  mythfrontend 
has the "default" preview images, but MythWeb also requests others (at 
different sizes, and potentially, different offsets) for its pages.

I'd suggest that at least until we refactor the recorded stuff to use 
recordedfile, it doesn't really make sense to modify the schema to 
handle multiple previews per recording in BLOBs.  But, then again, once 
we have recordedfile, we could more easily make preview images just 
other files associated with the recordings (other records in 
recordedfile) and continue to take advantage of the whole storage group 
architecture/file finding/etc.  That would solve the issue of files not 
being specified in the DB and still allow SG/filesystem storage.
