I hadn't heard of this device until I saw your posts, so I may be 
mistaken.  But I suspect that you may need to work from

https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/HTTP_Live_Streaming_Server

which appears to use JW Player to do the transcoding.  I believe that 
most of the MythTV transcoding stuff, apart from the 'lossless' -mpeg2 
option, will produce .nuv files which are fading into obsolescence.

But that streaming reference dates from 2016 and ISTR that someone had 
problems with it recently.  I may have tried it long ago.
