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

[Daniel Osborne]

I use Plex. (plexapp.com)
It's not free for Android, but it's only a few bucks and works well (I have
an SGSII as well).
Plus they have a native linux server.

I haven't tested it personally with MythTV recordings, but I stream my
MythVideo files with it. I don't see why it won't work with the recordings
though. I've only encountered a single video file it can't play (my DVD rip
of Star Trek 2011). It plays everywhere else just fine, and I used the same
settings as all the other videos I've ripped, but it just doesn't like it
for some reason. I'll probably re-rip it eventually.
