MVPMC does not need to play /dev/video1 directly. VLC already has that part taken care of. I'm currently playing Live TV from the PVR-500 elsewhere on the LAN, using http://[server IP]:8080, courtesy of VLC. If I read the Wiki correctly, MVPMC is capable of playing MPEG-2 video streamed from a VLC server. That is how non-MPEG content is played; first VLC transcodes it to MPEG-2 on the server, then streams MPEG-2 to the MVP. My problem is convincing MVPMC to start up or connect to this stream, either as an HTTP URI or through the VLM telnet interface. I'm hoping to take advantage of the "identically-named files on MVP and server" quirk of the VLM telnet interface if MVPMC can't understand a video URI. Starting to get the feeling that I am going to have to look at the source code... Thanks for the idea bouncing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
