I don't know why but after I upgraded from 0.19 to 0.20 mythweb looks ok, but every time I click on a recording, I get an "Unable to open 'myth://10.10.10.10:6543/<file.nuv>'" error in vlc.

So I checked all my links and they seemed fine. I then tried to change the defined variables in the /var/www/html/mythweb/config/conf.php (which BTW, after the upgrade there was no config.php, just a conf.php.rpmsave - so I copied it back to conf.php) which were set to:

define('video_url', 'myth://10.10.10.10:6543/');

to something else like:

define('video_url', 'http://10.10.10.10:6543');

but that didn't change. I even added /video_url at the end of these and it still didn't show up in the browser.

Not sure why conf.php isn't being read? Is there a new setting that now points to another php configuration file? I found a workaround by just configuring this option on mythweb under settings. That took it, but same error.

If I open VLC (older version) and actually put the physical address in such as this:

http://10.10.10.10/mythweb/data/recordings/<filename.nuv>

it will then ask me for my username/password (website has htaccess login) and then it will play. The newer version of vlc won't even ask me for a username/password anymore - it just fails.

However, if I use that URL in my video_url setting in mythweb, it will just download the video and not stream it to vlc, which is not what I want to do. I want it to start playing right away. So I changed the video_url setting to:

myth://10.10.10.10:6543/mythweb/data/recordings/<filename.nuv>

(also tried it without the port number 6543) but vlc again comes back with the error that it cannot find the file.

Any suggestions?

anyone?

Is anyone watching videos using mythweb successfully? I know that you need to install mythfilters - is anyone running the latest version of this (svnbuild-2006-10-15?)?

If mythstreamtv was an rpm I'd go for that, but from what I quickly glanced at, this plugin needs to be compiled and with the same options that were used for mythtv-suite. Unless someone can post that here, I wouldn't know what was used to build that either.

thanks...
