I've discovered, after trying to implement this on my newly-upgraded 
Apache 2.4 system, that this solution to the problem of asx-streaming from 
an authenticated mythweb server, does not work: apache will not start due 
to errors it finds in the mythweb.conf file, errors resulting from the 
presence of the term "Allow." I suspect this is because the names for 
conditions in the new Apache version have changed, and "Allow" is no 
longer a valid argument. The question remains, then, what is the correct 
argument to use to get the desired behavior?

I gather from some reading I've been doing that the correct way to 
formulate "Allow from all" for these entries under 2.4 might be "Require 
all granted." Can anyone here more experienced in Apache configuration and 
administration confirm or refute this supposition?
