[mythtv] Niftyness and network sound

[Edward Wildgoose]

What about looking for a way to pipe the compressed mpeg4 out of the nuv file and simply stream that over the network?  I think I saw a comment on the VDR list that there is a plugin for VDR which does exactly that to allow viewing of the video from anywhere...

I don't quite understand what has to change to "stream" the video stream, but this would seem to be a neat way to get video anywhere.  

Just a thought.

Well, almost nifty.  I'm using cygwin/XFree86 on Win2K to 
play with / edit mythtv.  I put in a few lines that make 
it so I can play videos across the lan (X protocol) 
(basically, drop 2 out of 3 frames):
  Preview window: 800 Kps,      2K CPU 35% (Duron 900)
  Viewing at 640x480: 3200 Kps, 2K CPU 90%

>From icewm... I dunno what a Kps is, but if I don't
drop the frames, my NT CPU pegs and it looks worse
than if I drop them.

MythTV CPU usage is negligable (Mpeg4 3000Kb/s).
NoSHM, NoXV

It works well enough that I'm wishing I had network
sound... anybody have a suggestion for a sound transport
that has a windows daemon?

Cool.  Just *damn* cool.

PS.  I found an old esound for win32.  I can get esdplay
     to work, but I can't get anything else to do much...
     I hacked some EsounD into nupplevideoplayer, but
     it seems non-working.
