Hey,

Another great episode guys. I'm playing around with the "secret sauce" using the Myth XML Test web app. Thanks Dan.

On my system I created this symbolic link.

Code: Select all

sudo ln -s /usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/development/MythXMLTest /var/www/MythXMLTest
I then accessed the app at http://localhost/MythXMLTest/index.html on my backend.

Rock on, PLA

Other media streaming software for linux include:

PS3mediaserver (written in java)
Mediatomb (partially alive project)
FUPPES (might be a dead project)

PS3mediaserver works fairly well. It does transcoding but sometimes it does not work since the PS3 is extremely picky about what it will accept and play. You can probably copy some of their code and use it in your Android program. If your code works better, perhaps you can post about it on the PS3mediaserver forum.

Hello,
I was just catching up on your cast's, and when listening to "Dan's plans" I thought that it might be nice if on the backend side you looked into something I've been using with my Maemo based Nokia N900. It's called "Knots2" http://www.maemonokian900.com/meamo-downloads/knots-2/. The server side started from Mediatomb, which allows for easy defining different target codecs for the clients, and then he used VLC server mode to convert the output on the fly. He also in his client (written in Ruby) allows for you to pause/rw/ff the stream on the fly.
It does integrate with MythTV, but by creating another database. It works fairly well, and sounds almost identical to what you were talking about, but if it was integrated into the backend, it would allow for a wider range of frontends.. Like my old Hauppauge MVP's that do Mpeg2 640x480, which croak on anything else..
