How do networked clients work? (1 Viewer)

[Azazyel]

How do the network clients receive their data? RTSP? Is it just read directly from ther e disk and sent over? Or is it read?

What I really want to know is, does it have to be MPEG2?

With MythTV, I had the recordings mostly in MPEG4 format, and the network client basically read them from a network share and played them as any other video.

Are you talking about MythTV streaming television, or MythVideo?

Specifically, are you talking about recorded TV, or just random video files?

I had a raw (v4l) capture. So it was software encoded to MPEG4, you also had the choice of RTJpeg, and stored in Nuppel (.NUV).

Obviously, sources in MPEG2 were recorded in MPEG2, until they were transcoded.

But it was in recorded tv.

Actually, you're right. I don't know why I thought that the recording playback was streamed similarly to the TV. Why would it be. It's on disk, so it's quite probable that it's shared similarly to MythVideo.
