I should do some more experimenting, but I'm under the impression that 
viewing video collections by "listing" is broken. That is, I can not see 
any videos using "listing" but if I use "gallery" or "browser" I can get 
to them.

BTW - I do notice that files which are symbolically linked (about 20% of 
my videos) into the directory I NFS export do not show up on the machine 
where I mount the NFS share. But that's another problem.

Should we turn this into a bug report?  And, if so, how do you do that 
in mythtv land.

...thanks.
