This behaviour is controlled by the by the "Newly scanned files 
browsable" setting in the video setup screen. When the flag is off 
mythvideo behaves as above and when checked it rescans the video 
directory to confirm the presence of each file and to add new ones that 
haven't yet been scanned. Personally I find it handier to have the flag 
checked although it costs a bit more in startup time.

The rest of the post is correct.
