[mythtv-users] MythTV under VMWare?

[Scott Pouliot]

Pretty good idea Kevin.  I actually tried this tonight and got the link up
and running perfect....the only problem is...it launches the IE plug-in for
QuickTime instead of Media Player.  QT of course crashes and burns...so I
un-installed it.  Now the browser just does nuttin.  Haha

I even tried giving it the full path to mplayer (C:\Program Files\Windows
Media Player\wmplayer.exe m:/<recorded_filename_goes_here)...but of course
HTML thinks it needs to add the prefix file:// to it...which causes the link
to do absolutely nothing.  I even associated NUV files directly to Media
Player...

I'll have to give this a second look tomorrow.  My eyes hurt at the
moment....

If you use MythWeb, you can map the samba share as a drive on your windows
box and add a link to themes/Default/recorded_programs.php to
like: <a href="file://z:/video/<?php echo $filename?>">Watch</a>. The
filename variable would need to be changed (I don't remember what it is
offhand), but it does work (albeit a security setting needs changed in
mozilla if you use it though)
