[mythtv-users] Using NetworkRecorder to watch TV streams

[António Santos]

Hi,

I've been using Mythbuntu 8.04 with the latest version of MythTV  
(0.21). I've been trying to configure the backend to provide a couple  
of channels streamed out over the internet. I created the M3U file  
like this:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,1 - cnn
rtsp://cnn-cnnlive-1-primary.wm.llnwd.net/cnn_cnnlive_1_primary/
#EXTINF:-1,2 - bbc world
rtsp://a1482.v373745.c37374.g.vm.akamaistream.net/7/1482/37374/484f7385/clipdownloads.bbc.co.uk/windowsmedia-acl/news/n5ctrl/summaries/world/bb/video/world_bb.wmv
#EXTINF:-1,3 - sky news
rtsp://live1.wm.skynews.servecast.net/skynews_wmlz_live300k
#EXTINF:-1,4 - extreme tv
rtsp://195.122.130.133/Massive%20Mag_xtreme_10

I configured the capture card ok, then the video source and the input  
connections, scanning for the channels which were correctly added to  
the channel list.
In the frontend, I select Watch TV, but I get no image after a few  
seconds. A pop appears saying something like:

You should have gotten a channel lock by now. You can continue...etc...

Does the NetworkRecorder work with these streams? Or is it an issue  
with the MythTV internal player?

Thanks,
