Can anyone tell me how to make my recordings clickable in MythWeb? When viewing my recorded programs, each is listed with a thumbnail. When I click the thumbnail, I get an error saying
"/video_dir/" looks like it's just waiting to be updated. So, I looked at the mythtv documentation regarding installation of mythweb, and it directed me to /var/www/config/conf.php. I see a couple things in there that look like they would help, but I also see a comment about creating a "symlink" to my video directory. The whole thing has me just a little confused, and I'd hate to screw up my myth box now that it's finally running fairly well.
Just to be clear, I do already have the proper codecs installed on my XP machine, and I am able to watch the nuv videos when I double click them while browsing the network neighborhood, but I'd like to be able to do it from my web browser so it's easier to see which show is which.

you need to create a symbolic link from the TV folder to where the page is hosted .. crap im not at my box right now.. its like /var/www whatever.
sorry i wish i was at my box. anyho if you create thy symbolic link under the name video_dir it works

This should do it



This will allow URLs in the form


to find 1061_20041116213000_20041116220000.nuv in /myth/tv

Keep in mind that this will not 'stream'...rather it will copy completely, then you can play it. you may be better off using your current method of double clicking in network neighborhood...just doing it in the /myth/pretty directory.

Mine streams the files. I think you have to change something in /var/www/config/conf.php to get it to work though. It shouldn't be hard to figure out from the comments.

Dinki, could you post your conf.php file. I attempted to alter the file to no avail. I finaly got mythweb working so that I can securely access it from outside my home, but I would now like to be able to stream the files.

I only have mine set up so that it streams within my local network. With that in mind, I commented out the previous value for video_url and changed it to:

define('video_url', 'myth://mythtv:6543');

by uncommenting it. You must have the DSMyth filters installed for this to work. I'm going on memory on all this, so YMMV.
