The same as putting the file in the MythVideo directory?
But I was mainly saying to look at the code around that to see how
seektables work with videos... I don't put MPEG-2 files into my
MythVideo directory to play with the Internal player, so I have no
experience with the requirements.
(But, I don't think it's required, and I know there have been some
changes in SVN trunk for playback without seektables, and I don't know
how well 0.20-fixes works for this. So you'll either have to dig
through the code yourself or wait until someone qualified to discuss the
playback of MPEG-2 videos using the Internal player without seektables
joins the thread.)
