I'm still trying to figure out where to run mythutil --scanvideos from.
The primary BE or the slave BE.
I get mixed results from the slave BE, haven't had time to ascertain if
it's operator error or some characteristic of MythTV, as slave BE is
rather poorly documented on the Wiki.
Once I have a good handle on slave BE and primary BE, I'll update the
Wiki, to save others the growing pains.  :)

Though, once I do, criticize my verbiage at your own risk. I do reserve
the right to shoot you out of a circus cannon, into the nearest midden
heap, or lacking one, a sewage treatment plant pond.  ;)
