It can do one or the other, but not both.  The MythVideo and MythMusic
modules have associated setup pages where you specify the path to the
A/V storage.  If that path is local then you play local content.  Most
of us (I assume) collect all our A/V and put it on a SMB or NFS share
and then use that same mount point for all of our FEs.  I'm using NFS.
