Similar to Thor's MFD it would be nice to have to ability for MythTV
to stream from the backend via RTSP. I'd like to implement this in
such a way that the stream could be adjusted (bitrate, etc) on the fly
before being sent out. I'll admit I know very little of how MythTV's
playback stream pieces together as it stands. There may be someone
better to take this one on but I consider myself a good C/C++
programmer and am willing to volunteer my time. If I were to go about
this I'd probably try the following order:
- Initiate video stream of file from drive (based on Thor's MFD work;
liveMedia)
- Get transcoder to stream to the RTSP video streamer (based on mythtranscode)
- Fit it in to MythTV (??)
I know I said I was going to peek at MythWeb music but this is really
something that keeps coming up for me and would be a benefit to
mythweb, along with the rest of MythTV if muticast can be provided.
Keeps MythTV ahead of the slingbox and TiVO too :)
