I know this is off topic, but someone on the list may be able to help.
I have a device that can output a transport stream similar to a cable
box using firewire, but I cannot get the device to work with mythtv.
I would like to have mythtv connect to a port on localhost and have the
stream spew from that port. This would allow me to use the IPTV record
and capture the shows.
Trouble is that I have done some proof-of-concept that it has not
worked. I added this to /etc/inetd.conf:
myiptv dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/local/bin/myiptv
where I defined myiptv in /etc/services as:
myiptv 1234/udp
When I point vlc, mplayer, or xine at this port I don't get anything.
If I run the /usr/local/bin/myiptv script on the system the stream spews
to stdout.
Suggestions?
