What happened to the GUI setup option that was in:

Utils/setup - Setup - Media Settings - STREAM setup?

I have been searching the wiki and forums and read the changelog that stated "fixed mythstream" .... so whats that best way to add streams now, from a shell?

Edit /usr/share/mythtv/media_settings.xml and addJust above

Thank you Cecil, now to figure out how to add this stream ....


If I wanted to add a single stream that is Quicktime based the handler is "apple" correct? I read somewhere that this was the appropriate handler for .mov extensions. I want to add this url to the stream list but I keep getting parser test errors.


Should the added stream be set as ...

Stream Name: Tom Green
Stream URL: http://www.tomgreen.com/mainqt.mov
Stream Handler: apple?


I'm not very sure about adding Quicktime, I have added other streams no problem but this one just will not work.


PS. Sorry for the multiple questions in a single thread, if I need ask in another post let me know.

*edit, nm .... I will try and just add something like the GBS.tv button instead of going through mythstream. With your previous post Cecil where would I need to add code to get a new button in the Internet Stream section?

Ok, I gave up on Mythstream, I tried adding a new button (worked) Mplayer will not load the stream though. It just drops the stream, thanks for the help though I will see what I can do on my end here to get Mplayer to play the stream.

Would this script from the GBS.tv thread work?



I have tried it and well I'm ignorant of how to write a script to open Mplayer to play this video. Any help would be appreciated.

If you've given up on MythStream, why are you posting in this thread? Why specific a playlist when you aren't using one?

Due to my Noobery of figuring out this great Knoppmyth project you all have contributed to.

I just wanted to add a url to have easy access to to stream a web tv broadcast as like GBS.tv. I find that Mythstream as you stated is for handling play lists of sites such as Shoutcast, not direct feed url's.

In my attempt to understand the difference between Mythstream and a live broadcast from said url it seemed like a logical choice to abandon the thought of using Mythstream to accomplish my tasks. I will therefor post a new thread related to my specific topic as to not further my progression on your "do not help" list.
