Ooh! Finally I can help with something! Both frontends need to
point to the *exact* same location. If you're like me where one of
your frontends is also your backend and where the videos are
stored, just create a symlink from the real directory to where
the other frontend mounts the videos and the change the location
of where the frontend on the backend mounts the videos like so:
Backend/Local frontend
Real location: /videos
Symlinked: /videos -> /mnt/videos
Remote frontend:
Mounted location: /mnt/videos
All frontends need to know about where the video locations
are because the path to the videos and the associated
IMDB stuff (covers, director, summary) is coded into
the mythconverg database.

Nope, I don't think this is specifically documented anywhere.
If it is, I missed it. I'll go looking for it in a bit.
