[mythtv-users] MythStreamTV + 0.19, what's the magic vlc/ffmpeg combo?

[Daniel Walton]

I've made some progress.  I'm on a Knoppmyth install from about 6 months ago so
there where some old vlc libraries laying around causing vlc to crash.  I'm now
able to compile and stream with vlc svn but the "+1 min", etc buttons don't
work.

I'm trying now with vlc 0.8.4a
