<br> I want to do this because I want to use Plex Media Server to serve<br> mythtv recordings to my Samsung TV as it has a native Plex client.<br> </blockquote> <br> A buddy of mine got a Samsung TV, too. He asked me how he could use it<br>
as MythTV frontend. As the models from 2011 on support HTML 5 and HLS<br> streaming I'm wondering if it wouldn't be easier to create a dedicated<br> MythTV frontend instead of fiddling about with multiple tools.<br>

<br> e.g. change MythWeb to use the JWPlayer and HLS streaming, then<br> add/reactivate a template for devices with limited screen estate<br> (IIRC there was once an iPad template)<br> <br> Pro: You get to manage recordings, too<br>
<br> Con: It appears to be slightly more work.<br> <br> Have you (or someone else on this list) considered that approach?<br> <br> Regards,<br> Karl<br> <br> PS: Creating a HbbTV compatible web frontend sounds good, too. But I'm<br>
not sure that MythTV's streaming code and HbbTV support a common<br> streaming protocol.<br> _______________________________________________<br> mythtv-users mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org" title="This external link will open in a new window" target="_blank">mythtv-users@mythtv.org</a><br>

</pre> </blockquote></div></div><p>I did take a look at mobilemyth (but not on the TV), it seems quite promising, but the last update I downloaded didn't work and I kind of put it to one side. If I can get it working again, I'll try it on the Samsung TV.</p>
<span><font color="#888888"><p> </p><p>Dave<br></p></font></span></div></blockquote><div>works fine on a tablet also haven't tried it on the smart tv, i suppose it should work, will depend how clunky the interface is to navigate with a remote, the other option on samsung is plex as they have a native app, however you would need to use mythlink or something to get some real file names or last time I tested plain upnp works however without commskip :(<br>
