Post subject:  upgraded to 0.20 - can't watch videos on PC anymore
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?

Post subject: 
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...
