What does the output say? (mythstreamtv writes a log file. Find that 
file and look for
error messages.) Does VLC complain that it can't find HTTP or anything?
It should tell you what the problem is.

I have my VLC + ffmpeg mostly working on KnoppMyth R5A16, but I have
audio sync issues when streaming via HTTP. The audio lags behind the 
video by
about 3 seconds....
