My HD recordings from an SA3250 over firewire seem to play fine, minus the
audio that is. Although I was impressed that the metadata was present and
my recordings weren't displayed as 5517_20071017193000.mpg
Has anyone had any luck with mythvideo upnp in .20.2? I don't follow the
ps3 world very closely, but I was under the impression the new firmware is
capable of decoding xvid/divx, but browsing mythvideo through the ps3 it
just shows a bunch of blank media files that won't play. Is this just upnp
not finished in mythvideo?
