_______________________________________________<br /> mythtv-users mailing list<br /> mythtv-users@mythtv.org<br /> http://www.mythtv.org/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users<br /> </pre> </blockquote><p>I'll try downloading the latest mobilemyth and give it a go on the Samsung. I think it may be difficult to navigate without a mouse though. Also I think fast forward and reverse may not work too well (I think it only works once the complete program has been transcoded on the backend).</p><p> </p><p>The Plex media server is pretty good as a front end on the Samsung as it does support FF/REW, which the UPNP client doesn't. Unfortunately the Plex Media Server doesn't like sofllinked files, so mythlink isn't too helpful, which is how this thread got started as I was originally looking for help getting mythtvfs working with myth 0.26.</p><p> </p><p>Regards,</p><p>Dave<br /> </p>
