The caveat is that all the frontends have to see the files in the same
location to match the files to the metadata.

So if a video is in /myth/videos on one frontend and /var/myth/videos
on another, the frontends won't know that they're the same file.

Also, "Cover art" has to be accessible by all the frontends too.
