I should have just tried it before writing... I opened up another port
and now have mythstreamtv working. Cool! On my Linux box I could only
get it to play in the VLC client, using the mmsh:// syntax. Couldn't
get it to work with xine v0.99.3 (just hangs). Same with mplayer, but I
have a recent version (1.0pre6-3.4.2). Problem is, the quality in VLC
is quite poor no matter which codec or bitrate I choose - very blocky
and poor quality audio. I also tried it on an XP box using WMP, and the
quality is perfect! Huge difference. Problem is, I'm usually sitting
at a Linux machine.
