Thanks George,

Yes, I have mythweb setup to play the recordings in the flash player
and it works fine, my backend seems powerful enough to do that
transcoding.  I just find the player a little unreliable
unfortunately.

I am going to keep looking around, even if I need to hack some scripts
that transcode the show in real-time to a file, which I make available
on my web server, which I then download in almost real-time and then
play in something like mplayer.

Not too sure which format would be best to transcode to though.
Obviously something that allows the file to be played before it is
fully downloaded yet is still reliable for seeking.

I will report back if I have any success.

Whytey
