As best as I understand, OpenELEC does nothing with MythTV files. It 
communicates with the Mythbackend, which actually deals with the 
database and the various recording files. Where those various files 
might be is established by your decisions when you establish your 
storage groups in the Mythbackend Setup.

If you mean different files you will need to be more precise in 
describing exactly what files you are interested in.
