So on Videos, here's what I did. I added the /srv/mythtv/videos to my 
Videos Storage group on the master and it doesn't exist on Master, only 
on the slave.  I then copied a m4a video file to that directory on the 
slave.

With Leanfront I had a directory folder with no name and it had a 
collection of videos that use to say "test videos" but now had all the 
videos from "test videos" plus the video from my slave.  They all played 
but it seems there maybe a folder naming issue.

So it didn't take a few days to get this tested. Just shows what a 
bourbon on the rocks and half a bottle of wine can do. :-)
