I also wonder what to do about removable storage & DVD devices but  
building on storage groups sounds like a great idea.

Do you folks have thoughts about how to have other modules query the  
mythvideo database? It looks like MythWeb  and uPnP do their own DB  
accesses but it would nice if mythvideo registered some kind of  
callback so the others could ask it to build lists of videos and we  
have all that processing in one place. OTOH that might be too much to  
bite off in a single patch.

Anyway I'm in transit home after Christmas holidays and will probably  
be initally busy when I get back but I'll have a look around and post  
thoughts in a new thread before too long.
