[mythtv-users] Sharing VIDEO with remote FE - Help Please.

[Victor]

AFAIK mythvideo shares one table across all its clients. So your FE has
videos at /myth/share-videos and your BE/FE has them in /myth/video. 
Put the NFS mount in the same place  and it should work.  As far as
syncing... that sounds like another issue.
