[mythtv-users] Run Nuvexport on separate machine

Why don't people TRY such things before asking these questions?  (sorry, 
feels like I've heard this question a lot lately, it's starting to get 
on my nerves a bit)

nuvexport is just like a remote frontend, so as long as you've 
configured the one single database field (which it will tell you is 
missing if it's not there) to point to the files, and have mythtv 
installed on the remote box (you need mythtranscode), it runs fine. 
Easiest way is to install mythtv and then run mythtv-setup to configure 
the host.

HOWEVER, I've noticed that some encoders (particularly transcode) 
produce slightly jumpy output when reading the files over the network.

and fyi, video ipod can play mpg files from the pvr-x50 cards just fine.
