This isn't what was planned so far.  RecordID and VideoID (or whatever
that field is called are in separate tables).  FileID is in another
table.  A RecordID could have multiple FileID's and a VideoID could
have multiple FileID's.  Technically, a RecordID and a VideoID could
share the same FileID as well.

It already is this way sort of.  The base HLS service calls just
take a filename and return a HLS ID.  There are wrappers around this
to allow you to easily startup a HLS stream for a recording using
starttime and chanid or for a video using the video ID.

I imagine that once the new schema is in place, there might be a
way to say "gimme a HLS stream for this FileID", but that might
be something just rolled into the on-demand HLS patch if the
schema is there already.
