Great idea! MythVideo has supported streaming content from the 'Videos'
storage group for well over a year now in trunk. The feature also made
it into the 0.22 and 0.23 releases. MythMusic is currently undergoing a
rewrite, with one of the planned features being access to content over
storage groups.

One of the limitations of the current implementation in MythVideo is
that DVD playback will not work remotely. This is a limitation of the
3rd party library pulled in for decryption and menu handling, and
currently affects remote ISO and VIDEO_TS folder playback.
