[mythtv-users] Assigning images to movies in mythvideo.

[Kevin Kuphal]

According to the videometadata table in my database, the images are stored
in:

/home/mythtv/.mythtv/MythVideo/

The actual filenames are stored in the coverfile column in that table.
Insert/update the record there with the filename.  I don't know if this can
be done via the UI
