Neat, I found the project page at <a href="https://github.com/ear9mrn/MythRokuPlayer">https://github.com/ear9mrn/MythRokuPlayer</a> and detailed instructions in the middle of <a href="http://www.fta-heaven.com/forums/showthread.php?312-Roku-Player-Private-Channel-Codes">http://www.fta-heaven.com/forums/showthread.php?312-Roku-Player-Private-Channel-Codes</a><br />

I didn't know that you could force mythweb to push mp4 files, although it does stink that you'd have to transcode everything to mp4 after recording. Personally I'd use mythexport to export copies of shows to a podcast server and subscribe to the rss feeds instead.</div>

Actually, rshendershot 's github is a bit more up-to-date. It is true, you have to transcode to mp4, but the way I look at it is that the machine would have been wasting power anyway, and this way I save a lot more disk space :) I have two scripts, one called mythrokuencode and mythrokunocommencode (that's myth roku no commercials encode in English), and I have them set to run on most, but not all of my recordings. I don't allow more than one user job at a time, and I don't allow user jobs from 4-11pm (figured I would need my computer the most then, or at least that would be when I am more likely to be recording two or more things at once).</div>

The space savings is incredible (at the expense of some image quality (hardly to my eyes) and processor time).</div>

If I watch it before it transcodes, no problem, as I delete it and it is gone. However, if it hangs overnight, then I obviously didn't mind waiting and I let it go and transcode for me. Any of the rerun daily shows get this treatment (Simpsons, etc.). Actually, just about everything except where there is a live element gets that treatment.</div>

On my computer, the transcode speed (single core!) is about 12-15fps on a good day, and since most of the time I let myth lossless transcode the commercials out, that saves time as well as the average 1hr show is only 42mins. Why transcode what I won't watch anyway :)</div>
