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

Hi David,

I edited mythstreamtv.sh to point to /usr/local/bin/vlc and I still had 
no luck.
Unfortunately (or is that fortunately?) I remembered that I had 
installed MythStreamTV as root. I went ahead and set the permissions for 
my MythStreamTV install point so that user "apache" could read and write 
and VOILA! everything works like a champ.

To sum it up:
Anyone reading this email and running MythStreamTV v.0.93 may wish to 
edit their mythstreamtv.sh file and change the command "vlc" to their 
actually VLC location (which can be found with "which vlc")
You should also remember to set your permissions for the folder you 
installed MythStreamTV to otherwise Apache will not be able to read 
mythstreamtv.sh and you'll get no log file.

Thanks David for the tip! I hope your submittal to Joshua gets included 
since being able to control the stream would be nice.

-Kenneth
