</div>Indeed, if this is for use on your local network you should be OK.<br>
<br>
But most residential internet accounts have glacial outbound speeds, measured in bits per fortnight. If you plan to export<br>
video to the outside world you may need to upgrade to a business class account and pay for reasonable upstream bandwidth.<br>
<br>
Transcoding is a way to reduce the amount of data you need to export.<br>
<br>
Running a server of any sort often violates the TOS for residential accounts, just something to be aware of.<br>

<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Thanks. What is this symlink option you speak of? I see that mythexport does create one called mythexport which just links to the export directory. If I could symlink to the recordings but retain the recording info in an rss feed that would be nice. <br>
<br>And I understand the ramifications of doing this over the internet, 99% of my recordings are H.264 and huge, so I don't plan on going that route. I don't have a real end goal yet, this is more of a what-can-I-do-with-Myth kind of thing. One thing I'm trying is to subscribe to my mythexport feed via Mirobridge on another Myth box, just to see how well it works.<br>
<br>On another note, the On The Go recordings sounds close to what I want but it doesn't put it in RSS feed or easily "subscribable' format, it just dumps the shows to files that I then need to hit with mythimport.<br>
<br>One could theoretically write an RSS interface to mythweb and that might be exactly what I'd need but I can't write code so that's out. Perhaps a feature request?<br></div></div><br>
