[mythtv-users] mythstreamtv, Gentoo, & separate frontends & backends

[Jesse Guardiani]

Hello,

I've got a rather odd setup. I think most people with separate front & 
backends
usually run their PVR card on the backend. I don't. I run it on my frontend.

Actually, I have two backends. One on the frontend box, driving the PVR 
card,
and one on my NFS box, doing commercial flagging, primarily. My MySQL
database lives on my NFS box too, and so does mythweb. The frontend box
access it's storage via NFS. The storage actually exists on the NFS box. 
I do
this because I have limited CPU power. This setup distributes the load very
well.

The frontend box is KnoppMyth R5A16. The NFS box is Gentoo.

Anyway, I've been trying to get mythstreamtv running. I failed miserably on
my KnoppMyth box as I could get the newest versions of ffmpeg & vlc
compiling correctly. So now I've moved mythweb & mythstreamtv to my
NFS box and I *think* I've compiled vlc and ffmpeg on the Gentoo/NFS
box with the correct flags (it took a couple of tries as there aren't 
any Gentoo +
mythstreamtv howtos out there):

media-video/vlc mp3 dvd xv svg ffmpeg ogg vorbis theora freetype flac 
live libcaca mod nsplugin httpd stream
media-video/ffmpeg mp3 aac zlib a52 vorbis ogg truetype doc

But now when I try to start a mythstreamtv session, I get this:

Starting Stream of myth://192.168.88.100:6543/1176_20050827230000_20050827233000.nuv
VLC media player 0.8.2 Janus
[00000438] main interface: creating httpd
[00000441] main input error: no suitable access module for `myth://192.168.88.100:6543/1176_20050827230000_20050827233000.nuv'
[00000435] main playlist: nothing to play


I've googled it, and it appears that the 'myth://...' URL is coming from 
mythweb,
not vlc or mythstreamtv. So.... how do I get mythweb to use:
    
http://www.myhost.com/mythweb/video_dir/1176_20050827230000_20050827233000.nuv

Instead?

Thanks!
