I have a dell axim that I have been itching to use with mythtv for
years. I really want to have streaming video to it over 802.11b - it
should be enough bandwidth as it works 95% of time for mythfrontend
proper on my eeepc. 

With the new release of mythweb I thought finally it was going to work.
But no joy. I started by commenting out some lines in mythweb to stop it
going into mobile/small screen mode. Upon trying to load the full
recordings page - it wouldn't finish. To much going on the for the
crappy internet explorer on the pda.

I then picked a few links from the recordings page and turned them into
a page more suitable for a pda (no graphics / css for example). An
example link is: 
http://XXXX:80/mythweb/pl/stream/4106/1216245600.asx

The links started to work and fired up windows media player - but no
joy. The pda wouldn't play them.

Any suggestions? Obviously the pda cannot play evil flash. I want
something to work on the fly - that doesn't need to have tv shows being
transcoded after recording unless I really have to. 

Thanks in advance.
