[mythtv-users] mythweb launching/streaming audio/video files?

[Tim Harvey]

I've searched through the archives and have seen a little bit of talk
regarding streaming audio/video files possibly kicked off through an
interface like mythweb.  Is anyone currently doing anything like this?

I see some advantages of streaming, but I think it also could be a
difficult thing to support (ie, what streaming format to use, and what
players/platforms support it?)

How about the obvious of just having mythweb launch the files from an
nfs/smb network mountpoint?  I suppose you would have to configure
mythweb on a per-client basis what the mountpoint is of the various
shares.  I'm not much of a web programmer... would you be able to do
this once via a cookie?

Just some thoughts... it seems like mythweb could be a full featured
'cross-platform' UI to MythTV if it could launch files.  Perhaps this is
being worked on and I've just missed the threads.
