FFMPEG can produce FLV. You could set it as a particular user job, so<br>it can be applied only to certain recordings (like new episodes of<br>CSI, or Heroes, or Deal or No Deal, or Scrubs, whatever it is you<br>watch regularly. Not sure about doing it on the fly, though...
<br>Perhaps clicking on a recording could trigger a Perl script that<br>starts converting the video upon clicking, then after a pre-<br>determined pause (to ensure that there's a file to read with more<br>than a handful of bytes of video to read) it sends the browser over
<br>to the FLV file. But can FLV be played when incomplete?<br><br>I could actually see a lot of use for this. It could turn anything<br>with a web browser and a flash plug-in into a basic Myth front-end<br>(except the PSP, which, for some unimaginable reason, Sony has
<br>decided to exclude FLV playback from its Flash plug-in...).<br></blockquote></div><br>I actually started work on exactly this when I got my Wii - <a href="http://code.google.com/p/mythwii">http://code.google.com/p/mythwii
</a> but I couldn't get the Flash player to play back more than a few minutes of video. If that can be fixed then I'll take the project off the back burner :-)<br><br>Cheers,<br>Andrew<br><br>
