<div>You just point it at your media directory and it goes from there - which means there is no direct mythtv support. But using mythlink (<a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythlink.pl">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythlink.pl</a>) makes it pretty close. It is a good workaround until all the hls stuff in myth finishes getting awesome(r).</div>
