Mythvideo supports multi-part videos, this is where it will automatically
play the next video in a series.  The intended use of this is if a video is
broken up into volumes, say 2 or more CDs, then the next volume will
automatically play.

The main difficulty in doing this accurately and reliably is detecting
multi-part videos.  Currently each video is treated independently, and no
knowledge of the other files in the directory is gained.  To further
complicate things, subsequent videos may be in another directory altogether.

    Check the nearest neighbour video against current video, if levenshtien distance is
    <=1 then associate the files.

    when adding/updating a video in the database, check for other entries with the same
    title.  If there are only a few, and appears to be a movie, then link them.
