Read from xdg-videos #17

Hello, I just discovered your app and I've been liking it!

I have one recommendation, as currently videos are only pulled from xdg-pictures I believe it would make more sense to also pull videos from xdg-videos since that is most likely where a user is going to store that type of content.

Thanks for the comment. I've wondered about having multiple library roots in Fotema, but I don't think I'm ready for that yet. Hopefully the current setup will work fine for many people. It works well for me, as I use the https://ente.io photo service to sync photos from my phone to my Linux laptop and the results in all the photos and videos from my phone ending up under my xdg-pictures directory.

I'm not sure I'd want all of my xdg-videos directory showing up in Fotema because it is full of long form videos that are better played with apps like VLC. Maybe one day having a library root like xdg-videos/Camera would make sense.

Yeah that makes more sense thinking about it now, I think having a library root for xdg-videos/Camera would be a good addition in the future.
