Omar,

My support is broken since it uses the old protocol, GMyth Streamer works fine, they’re now using catota-server as base and already have MEncoder plugin working fine, with Gstreamer version almost there.

But note that Artur (morpheuz) is working on get the general streaming working, it’s not tied or integrated with MythTv yet. At one hand this is great, because I can stream DVB, DVD or any other thing that MEncoder handles, but on the other hand it’s not able to play recorded videos from MythTv… but this will be possible, sooner than later

Well, right now I’m rewriting GMyth-Streamer’s core engine based on “Catota-Server”
that Gustavo talked about.

This will have more features and will be kind of “multi-task”. You can checkout it
from our svn
and try it. We were able to play our videos from MythTV on the device (not live TV yet..just doing it)..

As soon as it’s finished you’ll be able to play digital tv on n800 also. Thanks to Gustavo
that helped a lot with ideas and this new core =P

ooops! “Will I someday or another succeed in this or not?” is what I wanted to write…

Ok, I’m really a noob regarding programming and at understanding what programmers say but that’s my question: I see two words “gmyth streamer” and “broken” on the same line Does this mean that we still are not able to stream from a MythTV server?

I’m currently setting up it on my Ubuntu linuxbox, and I’d be very happy to see its recorded files on my 770 (not an N800!).
Will I someone or another succeed in this or not?

Thanks!

Omar
