[mythtv-users] Streaming to Android with PS3 Media Server

There is currently a great solution for this: Emit

Emit is the Android equivalent of AirVideo.  It supports HTTP Live
Streaming for Android 2.3+.  There is server software for Win/Mac/Linux.
The client software is http/iOS/Android.  It works great on my Acer A500
running 3.2.

My current setup:

   - cron job for mythlink every hour and include livetv to /myth/show_names
   - Emit running on my mythtv backend pointed at the /myt/show_names/
   directory

I believe the developer is using ffmpeg along with erlang.  The website is
located at https://www.emitapp.com/ for the server software.  If you use
the Amazon App Store, the app is on sale for $2.  The developer is also
very responsive to support requests.

The http live streaming feature introduced in 0.25 will be great.  However,
I recommend Emit for those running myth <=0.24 or phones that are not yet
on Ice Cream Sandwich.
