I maintain a number of myth boxes for people and use automounting on
my laptop to get each system's recordings mapped locally to avoid
streaming. I can't do this with videos since it's a fixed path.
Perhaps there's some tricky way to do it but prefixes work well with
recordings and it would be nice to have a symmetric solution for videos.
Shouldn't be a very big patch, I'll give it a go and open a ticket.
