[mythtv] upnp video structure

The new UPnpCDSVideo doesn't build folders (formerly 
CreateStorageFolder) nor does the videometadata table have the parent 
ids to build the tree so I have over 11000 video files all showing up in 
one giant list that's impossible to navigate with my upnp players.

I was looking at UPnpCDSVideo last night to try to use Raymond Wagner's 
suggestion of using filename instead of title, but my first attempt 
still listed all the videos in one giant list (I ran out of time to try 
harder).

Since there's no folders in videometadata, did you have a plan for how 
to reconstruct that already? I was thinking of adding a couple tables, 
one with the directory structure and one for mapping id to parent id so 
I could create the folders and map the files/titles to their parent folder.

Raymond mentioned something about creating different views. Would that 
be implemented by defining and implementing different g_RootNodes?
