Ahhh.  Thanks.  I looked through the list of tables 3 times and didn't
see anything that looked right.   I have no idea how I missed
filemarkup.  Guess I shouldn't post when I'm tired.

So, it seems that means that the cleanup code we have for recorded* is
fine, but George's issue would still be an issue.

However, even if the video delete code is changed to delete filemarkup
data, it would mean that deleting MythVideo videos with seektable data
would have to be done through MythVideo.  Therefore, I think a patch to
do for filemarkup what HouseKeeper::CleanupRecordedTables() does for
recordedseek (et. al.) would be more appropriate (allowing users to
delete videos from any app).  I'll put it on my TODO list.

Thanks,
Mike
