wmp player works fine when using the default access=mmsh and mux=asfh,
but if I change it to access=http and mux=ogg (using divx as the
codec) then wmp just sits there saying "connecting" but xine works
fine (however xine doesnt work for the mms streaming).

I'll try your suggestion of setting "-I http" instead of "-I dummy"

To get the mythstreamtv scripts to run from the web page, I had to put
them with in my apache htdocs folder and set apache:apache to have
access. This probably isnt the "correct" way to do it though.

Ash.
