[mythtv-users] Mythweb stream recorded video to Windows client

[Rich West]

Actually, I think I figured it out.  Rather than having the link for the 
video be listed as the fancy "mythweb/pl/stream/<streamid>", it would be 
better if mythweb just sent a small asx file to the client (if the 
client is a windows machine) like:

<ASX version = "3.0">
<TITLE>Mickey Mouse Clubhouse</TITLE>
    <ENTRY>
    <TITLE>Micky Mouse Clubhouse - Minnie Red Riding Hood</TITLE>
    <AUTHOR>MythTV - MythWeb</AUTHOR>
    <COPYRIGHT>GPL</COPYRIGHT>
        <REF HREF = 
"http://192.168.0.42/recordings/1298_20061104110000.mpg" />
    </ENTRY>
</ASX>

When I did that with my test case, it worked beautifully.

Since mythweb/data/recordings is not accessible (blocked via .htaccess 
rules, I believe), I just made my recordings available via a symbolic 
link at the top level of the web site and built the asx file by hand.

Now, the trick will be to get mythweb to do the detection, write the 
appropriate URL to an automatically generated ASX file.  :)
