an unbroken MythTV setup). It sounds like the web
interface has most of the mythweb features. But I do want
to make sure the direct download feature is there - this
was a great little feature, especially if you converted
your file/program to an .mp4 that you could save/archive a
program.<br>

Are you looking for a way to download the recordings or
videos? I have <br>
not included that yet, but it would be very easy. I did
not know if <br>
anybody used it or needed it.<br>
<br>
I was thinking about how to play the video from the web
app.<br>
<br>
If I include a link to the file for download, you can play
the recording <br>
or video without downloading by pasting that link into VLC
or running <br>
VLC with that as a command line parameter. Unfortunately I
could not <br>
find a way to launch VLC from the web app.<br>

<div>Do you mean to launch vlc from the browser instead of
the webapp ?<br>
</div>
<div>IMHO, this is now handled by browser plugins.</div>

<p>Yes - meant from the browser.</p>
<p>I looked at the VLC launch plugins and they are not much help.
I added a link to a video file on a page to test and the plugins
ignore it. I don't know how to get them to launch VLC with the
URL of a video file that appears on the page.<br>

<p>There used to be a browser plugin that would allow VLC to be
embedded in the browser window and play most files in the browser.
One of my old CCTV camera's used to use it for playback in a
browser but when all the browsers removed support for the old
plugin interface it stopped working. I could be wrong but I don't
think there is any way to play many of the video formats we need
in MythTV like the *.ts format used by many tuners :(</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I think it was Stuart M. who was working on getting DASH or HLS
playback working in the old WebFrontend but that requires the
backend to re-transcode stuff on the fly which is OK if you have a
powerful backend machine but not so good on a small power
efficient BE that a lot of users use theses days.</p>
