So i have everything working.  But i'm confused as to the intent of
mythvideo.  Is it meant to stream files to multiple FEs or just play
whatever you have locally.

http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-18.html

is the "official documentation" and doesn't really have any good
statement of intent.

I wanted to have my file server on my backend.  are people using NFS
or Samba mounted to allow you to read other files?  I like hte idea of
the smallest frontend possible.
MythVideo is a frontend plugin. It does not stream video. Each frontend must have access to the video files through some filesystem--local or network (NFS/Samba/Whatever)--to play the video.

For the configuration you want, do as others in the thread suggested and export your videos directory and mount it on each frontend.
