[mythtv] iPhone streaming implementation

[Chase Douglas]

I am at a crossroad as I begin new work towards implementing an iPhone  
frontend. The new iPhone OS 3.0 announced this past week allows for  
easier streaming from MythTV. However, the implementation does not  
follow a standard that exists today, so I am wondering how amenable  
the MythTV devs are to incorporating code into MythTV just for the  
iPhone (though the standard will become open once the iPhone 3.0 OS is  
released in June, and it could be used by other devices if they so  
choose).

I am under an NDA which I think covers the streaming implementation  
they are using, so I can't get into specifics. However, although no  
one uses this standard right now, it's merely a slight extension of a  
current open standard that others could easily adopt in the future.  
Thus, this may or may not become something specific to the iPhone OS.  
Given this framework, could this type of code ever be implemented  
within MythTV, or would the devs bar it? I understand if the devs bar  
it, and the first implementation I make may be stand alone anyways.  
However, I would like an idea of what would be allowed so I can plan  
for it.

Thanks,
