OK thanks for the http clarification. I thought that was the case re 
HLS, which is why I was surprised when mythavtest played the plain http 
stream, however that's another discussion.

Just wanted to point out that I wasn't streaming udp/rtp/http at the 
same time. I set up a stream and tested it with a second instance of vlc 
and then mythavtest. I had assumed that because I was able to play back 
both the rtp and then the udp stream with a second instance of vlc that 
it must have been listening on port 1234, but perhaps not?

I'll try downgrade back to mythtv 0.26 and test my streams with that to 
verify the stream is actually working.
