[mythtv-users] Settings for videos.

So a long, long time ago, I decided to add another place for my videos.
In addition to /var/lib/mythtv/videos, I also added /var/lib/mythtv/iso
(I think this was in the frontend setup). All worked pretty well.
I've been through a few upgrades since then and during one of them, the
configuration seemed to change. However, everything still worked fine so
I just left it.
Now I want to add some more directories but when I went to look at the
configuration, I see some weirdness that appears to have been the result
of the above configuration change and I'd like some help reconciling the
issue if possible.
So, what it is is that in the storage groups, there is a "Videos"
storage group which is set to the aforementioned /var/lib/mythtv/videos
and in the settings, there is a "VideoStartupDir", set to be
/var/lib/mythtv/iso. I'm wondering what the "correct" way to proceed is
and how the directories behave differently (if at all). As I say, they
both show up in the videos section in the UI.
My assumption is that the storage group can only be one directory where
the settings is a colon (:) delimited list so I should add my new
directories there. Presumably I should not also add
/var/lib/mythtv/videos (or should I?). Does that sound right?
