I'd suggest a uPnP directory under $PREFIX/share/mythtv where all the 
rest of our files go (themes, scripts, etc).  This keeps the 
non-executable content together.    I look forward to testing this 
soon.  Does it only support the video exporting for UPnP or does this 
also include music content?  I have a HomePod which uses UPnP and I'd 
love to see that get content from Myth rather than twonky.
