@David Callé - The more I work with this, I'm starting to understand more. I've resolved what I have suggest above with filters (as it should be), but it looks like 1 more additional category could still be needed.

Currently these are the categories,

CAT_ONCOMPUTER = _("My Videos")
CAT_ONLINE = _("Online")
CAT_GLOBAL = _("Videos")
CAT_RECENT = _("Recently Viewed")
CAT_MORE_SUGGESTIONS = _("More suggestions")

IMO, there should be something named similar to "local network" that scopes could use to show things found on the network (via avahi, UPNP, my scope). That way, it's obvious to the user that a video in this catagory when they are at home isn't available on their laptop when they are at work (as it's a different network). This would also allow a scope to allow the user to download the video locally (so they could watch at work) and then it would show up nicely under "My Videos"
