<br>The first thread has useful information.<br><br>Note that you won't be able to watch video in the VNC session -- you'll<br>just see a blank (probably blue) screen. This is because video output<br>uses hardware features (like Xv or XvMC) that can't be emulated by the

<br>which will cause Myth to use the standard X11 SHM mechanism for<br>display. This might allow you to watch video over VNC (better have a<br>fast network connection), but your frontend CPU usage will dramatically<br>increase while watching video, because all decoding & scaling has to be
