I have created ticket 9597 http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/9597 with a
patch to support random fanart, coverart, and banners.  It currently only
supports the front end mythvideo directory settings.  At first glance, the
ability to fetch a random file from a storage group did not seem obvious so
I decided to stick with the old directory settings for now.  I will look
further into that if the devs don't want to continue to support the old
settings.
