I have a Samsung 46B640 and it is able to view my myth content (including HD) with no modifications. The options on the remote + skip list honoring are lacking but the picture is BEAUTIFUL.<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hello,<br>
<br>
As a long time mythtv user (however a fresh maillist member) I was happy to see my new TV set has a network connection and a dlna label. As I found out, dlna has something to do with upnp what mythtv supplies. Hence I hooked up my TV set and was happy to see the mythtv machine on the network, so far so good. Just out of the box, it even went as far as showing recordings, that is, as a directory listing or such. Even the pictures I had inserted into the foto viewer in mythtv, show on tv.<br>
<br>
Unfortunatly, there is no watching the recordings, the TV set came with the error 'File Not Supported'. As far as I'm now, I think of reasons for this:<br>
<br>
* The recording is published with a bad name and/or extention.<br>
* The recording is effectively in a bad format.<br>
<br>
My recordings come from a pinacle pvr 500 analogue tv capture card that makes it mpeg2. I have dumped some recordings raw from the mythtv directories to an usb device. This was not accepted byt the tv-set either. However, after changing the extention to 'mpg', the recording sowed.<br>
<br>
Hence my question: Can I change the extention of the recording to 'mpg' using mythtv in such a way that mythtv also publishes this name on the network?<br>
</blockquote></div></div>
I've done some debugging, mainly using an mswindows machine with a share that magically also showed up in the TV. There, I found the share that is shown on the tv in which I dumped some movies of a known format.<br>
<br>
Start: get the file VTS_01_0.VOB from a myth-archive dvd and dump it there. This file is known to be mpeg2. This was a no-show.<br>
Then I changed the extension to: mpg, mpeg, avi. As the extension was not shown, I also changed the name to find what name was which extension. It appeared 'file.mpg' worked! The movie showed!<br>
<br>
Final test: Copy a recording from /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/. In there the recordings already have the mpg extention. Copied that to the share 'et presto'. These movies, the raw recordings from the haupauge pvr show as they should.<br>
<br>
Hence, my question on the myth-upnp server, what extension does it use in the shared recordings? Can I change that without hacking the source?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
