 Current functionality is for files of particular types as defined by
 extensions (eg .avi, .mov, .mp4, .mkv) to be hidden from Myth-Video view.
 If a folder contains only files of those types, then the whole folder is
 hidden from view. In certain cases it would be desirable for entire
 folders to be hidden, even though they contain media of types that are
 allowed to be shown.

 Example: a directory named "Show" contains a .mov file and a subdirectory
 labeled "Sample". The subdirectory "Sample" contains a .mp4 file. MythTV
 is configured to hide .mov files, but to show .mp4 files. In this example,
 MythTV will display "Show", with its subdirectory "Sample" and its .mp4
 file, but not the .mov file. If "Sample" did not exist, or could be hidden
 from view (this latter being the feature I'm proposing), then "Show" would
 also be hidden from view.

 This can be accomplished by telling MythVideo that if a folder contains a
 file named ".novideodata" or similar, to not display that folder.
 Alternately, users can define a list of folders to never be displayed
 (like "Sample," "Archive" etc).
