> Does MythStream play ogg streams?

MythStream uses mplayer to play streaming content, so if mplayer
supports ogg streams (which it appears it does...), then so does
mythstream.

Another nice tip/trick for mythstream is to manage the database of
stream stations with phpMyAdmin and update the streams table entries
directly from there.

Sometimes finding the actual stream URL is a bit challenging -- I.E.
buried or hidden in clickwraps, redirect, java, or javascript. If you
can use wget to grab a .ram or .asx or whatever file, you can usually
find right URLs inside of there. If that doesn't work, I've had luck
using ethereal running on the machine that is streaming audio/video to
find the proper URL for the stream
