Use mythlink  - see immediately preceding posts.  Put its results folder 
in your videos directory and scan for new videos.  Or you can copy just 
a few links instead.  And have an empty folder that you can link in as 
an alternative videos source so that you can reset things easily.  See 
yesterday's posts!

But I used to have to do this to get the files to play via upnp. 
Nowadays I see several ways  of displaying the menu.  YMMV
