[mythtv-users] FW: New Source Forge Project MythStreamTV

[Bill Bradley]

If anyone is interested, I have figured out how to setup Firefox under
linux to autolaunch an external player when choosing the stream link
instead of just getting the "mms is not a registered protocol".  First
I edited the mythstreamtv_createfile.php file to make the link "mmsh"
instead of "mms" because I could never get xine or vlc to play the
stream with mms.  I then setup Firefox to autolaunch xine by typing
about:config in the location bar.  This will bring up a listing of
preferences.  RIght click and select "New > string", the put in
"network.protocol-handler.app.mmsh" as the preference name and click
ok.  Next toss in the app command you want to lauch.  For me this was
"xine".  Now when I click on the link it autolaunches xine with the
url.   Hope this helps anyone who needed it.

thanks,
bill
