I'll try but I think I know at least part of the problem. I kept
monitoring ~/.mythtv/3rdParty like everything says, but it actually
ended up getting installed to /etc/mythtv/3rdParty. For whatever
reason, even though it's installed there the re-install button doesn't
go away and I can't stream recordings, although the sample file works
fine.

This must be due to the following in the (packaged) init script:
MYTHCONFDIR=/etc/mythtv

Since I maintain the packages for RPM Fusion, I'd really like to get
to the bottom of this and figure it out.

Thanks,
Richard
