[mythtv-users] MythTV Sharing Question

[Michael Tiller]

One thing to keep in mind is that the MythWeb interface allows you to
download shows from the backend to any computer.

I usually use this feature in conjunction with a web browser, not the myth
frontend. There are no real technical hurdles except bandwidth (I can stream
videos within my house, but there isn't enough bandwidth to stream it over
my ISP). If you use MythWeb and "Save As" from your browser, that should do
it.

If you want it integrated into the frontend, I suppose you could write
something that either access your friends database directly or scraped info
from their MythWeb interface but the real problem is that it is essentially
impossible for this to be "On Demand". If you did want to watch one of their
shows you would have to wait for it to queue up.
