Mythcommflag incorrectly saves to filemarkup table when video storage group is imbedded in another storage group dir

[philipn@…]

When the mythvideo storage group is imbedded in another storage group dir, the file markup table is not properly updated.

e.g. Storage Group (Not Myth Video) = /MythTV/Drive_5

Mythvideo Storage Group = /MythTV/Drive_5/MythVideo

file to transcode = MyVideo.mpg Full path is /MythTV/Drive_5/MythVideo/MyVideo.mpg

Markup table is saved with /MythVideo/MyVideo.mpg instead of MyVideo.mpg

I have attached a patch to storagegroup.cpp to fix this.

Creating a one-off solution like this patch does it not acceptable. What happens if users 'embed' Storage Groups other than 'Videos'? If you can come up with a patch that supports this functionality and is generic and will work for all Storage Groups then I'll look at applying it.

You might be able to achieve the desired functionality by just replacing this SQL Query:

SELECT DISTINCT dirname FROM storagegroup;

with this:

SELECT DISTINCT dirname FROM storagegroup ORDER BY dirname DESC;

I haven't tested that, but think that it may fix your issue. If it does, please report back and I can make that change in git.

Yes, this fixes the issue as well. Thank you.
