[mythtv] Recorded TS has no PCRs with HDHomerun (some network only)

[Steve Malenfant]

I'm using live555.com live555MediaServer executable for RTSP.
What I did (just to test functionality so far):
- hack up the "recorded" page to show rtsp://server/filename.ts (instead of
the file://server/filename.mpg)
- make a "ln -s" of all the files in my storage directory to an other
storage directory "filename.ts -> filename.mpg". Job after the recording
does that, or a simple script that I run whenever I need too (based of
mythlink).
- Point the Amino STB to the mythweb/tv/recorded web page and hit the rtsp
link.

Pause/play function works, as well as trick files (if you generate them).
I've got the 130 model.

I removed the "HasPayload" condition and now my NBC/ABC recording works just
fine.
I found that dtvrecorder/firerecorder would also have the same problem.
The device seems to support AVC/h.264 but I haven't tested anything for that
yet.

But, really the mythtv project could embed live555 server code (which I
could help) into mythbackend and really have this STB working easily (and
even supporting a Guide, live TV streaming, fast forward, etc...).

Using the hacked up webpage and pausing so far makes the wife happy already.

Things that would make it more usable :
- Transcoding should keep TS format, currently it converts back to PS which
seems to be impossible to bring back to TS.
- Embed an RTSP server which would use mythtv database for trick play (ffwd
and rwd)
- Make the recorded web page easier to navigate with the STB (currently it
is slow to load, too many links and too wide).
- Live streaming should be possible we some handler
- On the fly transcoding of PS file to TS to stream to RTSP client. live555
has a program to do this offline but it crashes on the PS generated by
MythTV.
- On the fly transcoding of VOB/ISO files to the STB.
- Verify MPEG4 support on the STB.
