[vdr] Streamdev-client and shared video recordings directories.

[Dave]

The client is just a p3 800 mhz, equipped only with a matrox g450 with 
tv out cable and a via rhine network card fitted with a boot prom.  The 
software resides entirely on the server, which runs the dhcp and tftp 
servers required for netbooting.
