I'm not at my myth box now to check, but there is an option to do what I 
think you want, which is to browse the folders on the disk in gallery 
mode. If that's correct, there is an option in the video settings to do 
it, but I can't remember what it's called ("Video Gallery browses 
files"??). I was pretty unhappy with the new mythvideo myself until 
someone else on this list mentioned that option.
