I feel like Otto in “A fish called Wanda” trying to ap.. apo.. applogise.

My wife has 8Player on her iPad, It just works: recorded, transcoded, movies, just work. The interface is acceptable.

I tried mythtv android app. Nice interface but I cannot get it to transcode hence work. I DID compile my myth and lack of documentation and lack of understanding has ment no progress.

BubbleUPnP with new uPnP has started showing thumbnails - very nice

Streaming with JWplayer soon leads to heartache

VLC gets tied in knots on large (SD and HD) files

Are there **ANY** ways to view mythtv on android that work eg the 8player experience.
