[mythtv-users] streaming to windows (directly through myth)

I have no problems opening the .nuv files when I mount the TV recording with
Samba. (I.E., I installed samba on my mythbackend box, then mount the TV
directory on my Windows computer, and open the files using VLC.) The
filenames are pretty cryptic, but if you see what you want to watch in
mythweb, you can mouse over the link, look at the filename, and then open
that one in VLC.

Sometimes vlc won't open any files at all.  This problem comes and

My guess is that it's an issue with apache. Maybe a commercial flagging or
transcoding job is screwing with the webserver... I've never had a problem
mounting the drive.
