[mythtv-users] Playing MythTV files in Windows

[Richard J. Finn]

Matthew Zimmerman has created a patch for MPlayer / Mencoder 
http://www.mplayerhq.hu that allows you view the files created by 
MythTV. MythTV doesn't use standard Nupplevideo files, which is why you 
MPlayer complains if you try to view them.

Download the patch to MPlayer from Matt's website. 
http://dijkstra.csh.rit.edu:8088/~mdz/mythtv/.

$ wget 
http://dijkstra.csh.rit.edu:8088/~mdz/mythtv/mplayer-0.90pre10+mythtv.patch

Download the source to MPlayer and patch:

$ wget http://ftp.lug.udel.edu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-0.90rc1.tar.bz2
$ tar -xjf MPlayer-0.90rc1.tar.bz2
$ cp mplayer-0.90pre10+mythtv.patch MPlayer-0.90rc1
$ cd MPlayer-0.90rc1
$ patch -p1 < mplayer-0.90pre10+mythtv.patch

At this point, you can read the MPlayer documentation and start the 
compile process.
