If you can't get it to work with DSMyth filters on Windows, you can tell 
MythWeb not to use the myth:// URL for Windows clients.

If you're using SVN, go into Settings|MythTV global defaults and change 
the Video URL as described in the help comment at the bottom of the page.

If you're using 0.19(-fixes)?, edit config/conf.php as described in the 
comments:

// video_url is normally determined automatically (a local link to 
data/recordings
//   for Linux/MacOS, and a myth:// URL for windows machines), but you 
can override
//   it here to something else if you really need to.
#   define('video_url', 'data/recordings');
#   define('video_url', 'file://machine_name/path_to_videos');
#   define('video_url', 'myth://slave_backend_ip:6543');
