[mythtv] gmyth livetv transcode support

[Melunko]

Hi Micke, thanks.

gmyth-cat usually stops after about 30minutes when the mythbackend changes
the recording file to another. It sends a BACKEND_MESSAGE that we are not
handling very well at the moment. I am still working to fix this. I believe
you could see this error after some playback time.
