The quick and dirty solution, tell MythNetvision to use one of the RSS
feeds listed here.
http://videos.arte.tv/de/videos/meta/index--3188674--3188768.html
MNV will operate just fine as an RSS reader, assuming the links provided
by the feed go directly to the video. That will open up the whole page
in an internal browser. The flash player is configured to autoplay, but
if you want any kind of control, you're going to need to use a mouse and
keyboard.
If you want a bit of a cleaner solution, and are willing to spend a bit
of time writing it, you can write a grabber script that reads the RSS
feed, extracts the specific player information, and provides a custom
webpage with nothing but the flash player. A more elaborate grabber
would be one that provides javascript controls to hook MythTV's native
controls into the flash player, but that is dependent on the flash
player actually exposing such things in the first place. There's a nasty
mess of one-liner, obfuscated javascript on that page, and something of
that sort could be hidden in there, but a cursory run through didn't not
find any API that would allow that kind of control.
