You do have to decide whether you want to define things locally or
with storage groups. If you switch to storage groups you will need to
rescan (in mythvideo hit 'M' and 'scan for changes'). The metadata
storage groups will only be used for videos that are in the videos
storage group. If your videos are defined locally in the frontend
videos setup, then it will use the metadata folders that are defined
there for those videos. I think these point to your home directory by
default. So it seems like you may be doing some of both. If you want
to go with storage groups then you need to remove the setup in the
frontend and setup everything on the backend in mythtv-setup.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that mythweb doesn't yet support
video storage groups. I have no videos show up in mythweb which would
confirm that, but I can't find that actually documented anywhere. If
that is the case it is something we should add to the wiki:
