[mythtv-users] Playing MPEG2 (.ts) Transport Streams?

[Skip Levens]

Has anyone had good experience incorporating libraries of HiDef MPEG2  
streams into MythTV?

The files are huge, like 18GB each, but I have enough storage to save  
them centrally and simply stream and play them using VLC with Mac's  
connected to each TV. I'm pulling .ts streams from the server over  
GigE which works great, but using a MythTV front end would be more  
'wife and kid' vs. geek friendly... anyone done this?
