Bug Description
Considering Bug #445907 and #445043, as well as the frequent questions on the mythtv mailing lists, iamlindoro suggested that a help message for the "novideos" text area may improve the user experience (and lower the number of invalid bug reports). Below is an example (we certainly don't have to use this exact text):
*** video-ui.xml 2009-10-07 22:37:36.000000000 -0500
--- video-ui.xml 2009-10-08 06:48:49.168215606 -0500
***************
*** 169,174 ****
--- 169,175 ----
+ <value>If you have existing video files which are not being displayed, hit 'M' or the menu button, scan for new files, exit back to the main menu, wait 5 seconds, and come back</value>
<shape name="titlebox">

Upstream also said the "exit, wait 5 seconds, and come back" will not be necessary within the next few days, so we can eliminate that portion. They also just committed somthing similar to the default themes (which provides an alternative example for the wording): svn.mythtv. org/trac/ changeset/ 22311/
