Odd, in the above wiki it states if you are asked for a passwd you're good. Otherwise I think it assumes there is a telnet problem. But what passwd is the question I have. In the vlc command line embedded in the init.d script, the users is "media". So I assumed one used media's passwd. But that didn't work for me. >> I have multiple back ends.

I am beginning to think it will not be possible to access all my mythtv recordings at a given mvpmc box. I have a recordings directory on my MBE and two recording directories on my SBE. Each BE has 2 ATSC tuners. After all three recording partitions fill, the tuner used to record a given show becomes almost random. After reading the howtos it looks like I'll need to compromise and set-up vlc on only 1 box and only for 1 recordings directory / partition. If a show gets recorded on the other partition or even another BE computer I'll just be out of luck. > I am not sure if the mythtv part of mvpmc will use vlc at all, I have > only used it from the file browser part.

Yes, I could re-encode - and not use vlc at all. But I have real mythtv front ends that can handle all ATSC programming. The mvpmc box can not even handle SD ATSC programming let alone HD ATSC programming. So, I don't want to transcode after recording. I want to transcode on the fly / on demand for the mvpmc boxes. -thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
