For more detail see the RemoteFrontends page on the wiki.

I doubt this applies to 'videos' in the media library as xine and 
mplayer don't use the mythtv protocol.
I suspect they will need nfs. I don't know about the Internal video player.
Bruce - correct me if I'm wrong... (and kindly explain how xine/mplayer 
get hold of avi's via the backend so I can update that page...)
