[mythtv-users] Using mythbuntu with VLC

Ok so does this mean that I can’t use VLC with mythtv to play back videos? 

 

https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VLC makes it seem like this is supported, though when I follow those instructions I get this error.

 

Thanks

Dear all

 

I’m trying to use VLC with mythtv (mythbuntu 16.04).

 

But when I try to use it to run a sample video I get the following error message appearing in VLC:

 

VLC is unable to open the MRL 'myth://<hostname>/SampleVideo_1280x720_1mb.mkv'. Check the log for details.

 

 

Any inspiration?

Thanks

 

 

Correct, VLC does not support mythtv protocol,
