[mythtv-users] UPNP and VideoStartupDir

So I have a new Droid X and it has the ability to stream music/videos over
UPNP.  It sees my backend and can stream music fine.  It doesn't play
recordings, but it sees them properly (doesn't play mpeg 2, not the problem
I'm focusing on right now).  The contents of Videos->VideoRoot is stale
however.  If I force the backend to refresh it's upnp list I get this:

mythbackend --upnprebuild

2010-07-15 21:35:03.669 UPnpMedia: BuildMediaMap - no VideoStartupDir set,
skipping scan.

So... what's VideoStartupDir?  I THOUGHT (probably wrongly) that it came
from the frontend video setting that we're supposed to leave blank if we're
using storage groups for videos.  So...

Am I just remembering this wrong?  If so, please point me to where the
setting can be set.  I'm happy to be wrong :)

Am I remembering this right, and upnp just doesn't work with videos in a
post-storage groups world?

Am I remembering this right, and I'm just configured wrongly?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
