<p dir="ltr">MythTV Player runs on Android TV. So does VLC. It supports mpeg2 playback and MythTV Player will offload playback to VLC if it's in a format it can't play natively. I am looking to move playback to an embedded ExoPlayer, which should provide more playback options. If the video/recording is already in a format a Chromecast can play, MythTV Player will play it. Handbrake now has a setting for transcoding to a Chromecast compatible format. My Nexus Player doesn't support mpeg2 natively, so I can't test that myself.</p>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm interested in your post-recording job. I assume you rename the file<br>
and move it to where Kodi can find it?<br>
