or the other option is to change your mythweb http config to not require
auth for your local subnet if you only ever stream locally.

ie. in mythbuntu /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mythweb.conf (Add the Allow
from line where x.x.x is your local network subnet eg. 192.168.0)
  AuthUserFile       /etc/mythtv/mythweb-digest
    Allow from x.x.x
    Require            valid-user


Cheers,

Anthony
