[QUOTE="thechad, post: 42294, member: 11382"] I think Sam is on the money with the timeshifting buffer on the server so that clients can pause / rewind etc. This would be easier to implement as you could use Windows file sharing to play the buffer although not very efficient it would work. The current buffer is in the MS SBE format is it not?, this would be a problem for other applications trying to play the file as they would not understand the format. Am I on the right track here? MythTV uses its own proprietry file format from memory. NV is the extension and it is just a ring buffer file, was a long time ago I played with it so not sure now. The Myth client simply plays this file over the network using no special streaming protocols just NFS i think. Mplayer has support for the NV format and I believe a Windows codec is available as well. This is proff that a propritory system can work, but I think somehting more universal would be better.
