[QUOTE="sark666, post: 618238, member: 104539"] I'm a long-time mythtv user and was looking at other pvr software. One reason why I was looking is because I wanted to be able to stream my recordings remotely. Myth had an unofficial addon to it's web server but it had some limitations and development seemed to have longed ceased. - no live tv - couldn't seek ahead in a recording (only back to what you previously buffered) - when you stopped a recording, the backend kept transcoding till finished even if you only watched say the beginning of the show. - when it was transcoding, it always transcoded as fast as possible, maxing the cpu. - also had issues with aspect ratios I don't really like flash but it used an embedded flash player so it made it very accessible from whereever. You could set the resolution and the bitrate. So how does mpwebservices fair in regards to the above? I see many mentioning vlc, and I'm not actually sure if there is a means of streaming the video right inside the web page (via flash or whatever). Also, I assume 1 live tv viewer per tuner, but with recordings, could I be watching previously recorded material remotely while my gf does the same somewhere else? Can you play videos (xvids etc) or recordings only? If anyone can chime in on this and maybe how it's worked for you (stability etc) that would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
