[mythtv-users] basic mythvideo question

[Paul McKellar]

So i have everything working.  But i'm confused as to the intent of
mythvideo.  Is it meant to stream files to multiple FEs or just play
whatever you have locally.

http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-18.html

is the "official documentation" and doesn't really have any good
statement of intent.

I wanted to have my file server on my backend.  are people using NFS
or Samba mounted to allow you to read other files?  I like hte idea of
the smallest frontend possible.
