[mythtv] Mythweb and Windows Media Player over Samba

[Damon Searle]

Thanks for this, it works nicely. The only problem is that IE6 loads the
file as a .php instead of a .asx (Mozilla Firefox produces a .asx). 
I've never been able to get the myth:// url's to work because I'm always
using CVS versions, so this is a good alternative.
