Drats :(.

Dimitar, can you do a little experiment?  Well, it's little if you 
already have the Video feature of mythtv setup.  Otherwise if anyone 
else has such a setup I am sure there are plenty of people here who 
would like to hear about it.

What I am wondering is if the Samsungs are having a problem with the 
mythtv NuppelVideo format (this is what I am thinking) or if there is a 
UPNP compatibility issue.  I have had such issues with my Android 
devices when accessing mythtv Recording.  My Android devices can access 
and play what I believe are mpeg2 Videos served up by the mythtv UPNP 
server.  But some Android devices can not play back the mythtv 
Nuppelvideo Recordings.

Just to clear things up, when I say Videos I am talking about a random 
collection of media I am putting into the mythtv Video "space" from 
sources like camcorders.  And when I say Recordings I am talking about 
ATSC signals that mythtv has recorded off the air.

-thanks
