I've tried it. It does seem to work, but I can't get it to play
anything. It turns out my Myth box is giving out it's hostname to
stream the recordings from, and the xbox is having trouble looking it
up. Is there any chance that Myth could give out a "defined" name (Or
IP address), rather than relying on the machine's hostname?
