The same files via Mediatomb give me the same grief.. It does point to 
something that changed on the PS3...

PS3 V2.10 Firmware now support DivX..  So Mythtv can now stream direct 
without transcoding.. Pretty good for watching bootleg Heroes or 
Daxter.. <grin>

Same about the MPEG2 TS streaming..  Guess I'm going to have to keep my 
fingers crossed with PlayTV..
