That sounds like a very handy patch, although a UPNP supporting patch
would be better :)

Although I appreciate that's vastly more work and if I think its such
a good idea I should try and implement it myself. Problem is I don't
know the MythTV code base at all, nor anything about uPnP media
streaming.

Thanks all for the info anyway.
