I got round this by adding a symbolic link that pointed from the mythweb 
directory to the mythtv-rec directory. However, the next problem is that 
many web server/OS combinations will not serve out files of greater than 
2G (in my case anything over 20mins or so). Files smaller than 2G will 
run quite happily over a normal http link, given sufficient bandwidth 
(not that much).

Hope this helps
