I've run it on my Mac in the past, but my goal here is to get the server
running on my Linux Myth backend. I installed AirVideo from the PPA
discussed here:

I have it working now with a mythlink directory. However, I'd prefer to
use the FUSE mythfs.py script over mythlink to get realtime updates and
not have to wait for the cron job to run. It just seems a cleaner
approach to me. Unfortunately, AirVideo reports each recording as having
an invalid stream when accessed through the mount. I'm not sure why it
dislikes FUSE...
