[mythtv-users] FW: New Source Forge Project MythStreamTV

[Mike Jasper]

I should have mentioned that I already hardcoded the absolute path to 
vlc in mythstreamtv.sh.  The problem was that I had chown'd the old 
stream directory to apache.apache, forgetting to do the new one under 
/var/www.  However, I am still having trouble.  Is it ok to use the same 
port that I use for httpd (nonstandard, 12984, really for mythweb only), 
or do I need to open up another port?  Here is my log output.  Thanks 
for your help.

>>I've installed mythstreamtv, but can't get wmp (or vlc) to play the streams.  When I click the mms://ip:port link it opens wmp, but I receive an "Enter Network Password" window.  My mythweb access is restricted via htaccess, and this looks like the same authentication window that IE gives, more or less.  However, when I enter my username and password, it just pops up a window that says "Windows Media Player cannot connect to the server..."  I tried setting up my stream directory at /var/www/html/stream, with apache.apache permissions, but that didn't make any difference.  What am I missing?
