MythWeb automatically uses "myth://" URI's when the client (running the 
browser) is a Windows machine.  It's assuming you have the DSMyth 
filters (properly) installed.

For future reference, though, you should /really/ read the comments next 
to the part of the file you're cutting/pasting into a post.  You can 
learn a lot from them:

// video_url is normally determined automatically (a local link to 
data/recordings
//   for Linux/MacOS, and a myth:// URL for windows machines), but you 
can override
//   it here to something else if you really need to.
#   define('video_url', 'data/recordings');
#   define('video_url', 'file://machine_name/path_to_videos');
#   define('video_url', 'myth://slave_backend_ip:6543');

So, to tell MythWeb, "Hey, I didn't install DSMyth!", set it to a value 
that includes an "http://machine_name/path" as appropriate.
