Just had the same thing happen to me, running on a remote frontend which
temporarily lost its NFS mount the the mythvideo directory. At the
very least, I think maybe the code should check for the special case
where *no* videos are found, but the database contains videos, which is
the usual case if the directory is not available.
In the mean time, you can easily disable the video manager on a
per-frontend (or even per-user) basis. Just copy
<install-prefix>/share/mythtv/util_menu.xml to
${HOME}/.mythtv/util_menu.xml, and edit the copied file to remove the
entry for the Video Manager.
