I have one of those WD Live media players in the house and I see the same
behaviour as David; all the videos appear in the folder structure I have
them on disk and as they appear in MythVideo.  Perhaps there is something
in the Panasonic DLNA client that is different?  Do you have a smartphone?
You could use a DLNA client on a phone to see if you get a different
presentation of the video section there.
