IMHO this is the way to go. The HTTP live streaming API allows you to
adjust the transcoded video size and bitrate and, depending on the
remote app (e.g. iOS) you are free to seek anywhere within the
transcoded portion of the stream. If you were still interested in
using a full featured frontend and wanted to tinker with the code, I
would suggest looking at adding http live streaming support to
mythfrontend. This would give you a local frontend, 'optimised' video
transfer and would no doubt be a useful feature to have regardless
(e.g. mythnetvision).
