This question rears its ugly head every couple of months but I'm a little baffled by what is needed, minimally, to stream videos from myth.<br><br>Some people say they're able to play simply by installing dsmyth, clicking on the
<a>myth://hostname:6543/xyz.mpg</a> link in the appropriate browser, and the media player of choice launches and starts streaming.<br><br>I don't understand how they do this at all. This is the myth protocol, and thats the mythbackend address, but how does their media player understand the myth:// uri? As I understand it in this case the media player is basically being launched with the uri as an argument. I have tried this with wmp, media player classic and videolan client, none of them comprehend the myth:// uri, and my backend log shows no access attempts.
</blockquote></span><div><br>first, what version of mythtv do you use and what version of the dsmyth filter do you use?<br>i asume you want to stream mpeg files? if so is it from a dvb card or a pvr card?<br><br>if you want to use the dsmyth filters to stream things you must make sure the mysql settings in the config program is setup properly and that it works.
</div></div></blockquote><div><br>one thing i forgot, the dsmyt filters does not contain any mpeg4 or mpeg2 decoder, that must be installed separately.<br><br></div><br></div>
