[mythtv-users] consolidate Mythvideo info for multiple frontends

There are two things to do. Here's what I did in my own setup (1BE/FE + 
3 FE):

1- All the movies are stored in /mythtv/video. This partition is shared 
with NFS over the network.
2- All the movie posters are stored in a central location: 
/mythtv/settings/posters (/mythtv is also shared with NFS).

This way, when I update MythVideo with new movies, the changes and the 
posters are available to all frontends at the same time. I also share 
the menus xml files in /mythtv/settings (with simlinks to ~/.mythtv) to 
keep consistency between frontends.

Hope it helps
