I found this interesting unoffical module for MythTV -> MythStream formally MythRadio http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~moongies/mythradio.html

I'd recommend bulid the module on a box OTHER than your KnoppMyth system, and copying the module onto your KnoppMyth box.

In a day or two I'll looking into packaging the binary into a .deb (that works decently with KnoppMyth)

Any luck on the deb?

I tried installing it, but ran into some problems installing the libs. I am still very new to this so it is likley an error on my part. I would like to spend some time on this later.

There is an easier way, see link below.

Thats interesting.

The problem I ran into with this idea is that I could only get it to work if I used:

The problem is that the mythtv won't let me escape out of it and it continues to play. I had to kill the process and reboot the system.

Otherwise, if I use:

nothing happens, and at the command line it does not parse the lnk I used. 'cat myfile.lnk' does show the contents.

I've got MythStream working. My instructions are basically the readme with a few specific instructions for knoppmyth. Here's a how-to:

untar mythstream into a directory of your choice
replace player.xml in the /libs directory with the updated one

$export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3
$export PATH=$PATH:$QTDIR/bin
$cd /home/mythtv/r4v2_src/mythtv-0.14/src
$tar -xvjf mythtv-0.14.tar.bz2
$cd [path to mythstream]
$ln -s /home/mythtv/r4v2_src/mythtv-0.14/src/libs/libmyth mythtv
$vi settings.pro
change /usr/local to /usr
$qmake mythstream.pro
$make
$make install

$cd /usr/share/mythtv

- set buttons of type STREAM in mainmenu.xml and main_settings.xml
- define the STREAM button (streamicon.png) in theme.xml of the theme(s)
you use:

in mainmenu.xml:

<button>
<type>STREAM</type>
<text>Internet Stream</text>
<action>PLUGIN mythstream</action>
<depends>mythstream</depends>
</button>

in main_settings.xml:

<button>
<type>STREAM</type>
<text>STREAM settings</text>
<action>CONFIGPLUGIN mythstream</action>
<depends>mythstream</depends>
</button>

in themes/blue/theme.xml:

<buttondef name="STREAM">
<image>streamicon.png</image>
<offset>50,40</offset>
</buttondef>

Notes on the above: The source for MythTV is in /usr/src/r4v3_src in R4V3. You should also edit settings.pro and change /usr/local to /usr.
