[mythtv-users] Mythweb Flash Stream - Can I Open It With Some Other Player?

[Drew Tomlinson]

I'm trying to understand the ASX streaming in the mythweb that ships 
with 0.21.  In the "Recorded Programs" list, clicking the asx icon from 
a Windows client results in Windows Media Player starting and then 
giving an error.  However if I click on the thumbnail and play via the 
flashplayer on the web page, the files plays fine. 

Looking at system processes, I see ffmpeg is running.  So what is the 
ffmpeg command line and when is the resulting encoded file stored? 
According to the VLC site, it can play flv files.  Thus it seems to me 
that I should be able to feed VLC a URL and view the stream with it.  Is 
this possible?

The main reason I want to use VLC is because I'd like to be able to see 
my 16:9 content in a 16:9 window and I'd like a window size that's 
bigger than the browser window but smaller than full screen.

Thanks,

Drew
