OK folks, I had some success tonight, but am not quite there.  In all cases, 
I shared server /mediamvp/ via SMB/CIFS mount.  Note that I also had to add 
world R/W permissions on /dev/video1, otherwise VLC puked errors in 
/var/log/vlc.

  Long story short, this DOES NOT work.  No VLM connection, no VLC activity, no 
media.  It's clear I can't span device streams across networks with sharing 
alone:

[server side]
/mediamvp/pvr500.MPG -> /dev/video1

[MVP side]
/mediamvp/pvr500.MPG

  This WORKS, sort of.  VLM control connection made, VLC remapping, and some 
media:

[server side]
/mediamvp/pvr500.AVI -> /dev/video1

[MVP side]
/mediamvp/pvr500.AVI

  I got plenty of lovely stereo sound out of my MVP, but a blank screen.  
Checking /var/log/vlc, I ran smack dab into the 29.97fps FFMPEG error.

  Has anyone made a dongle available with the 25.00fps hack?

  Is it possible to build MVPMC with the normal "build-essential" packages?  Or 
do I need a cross-compilation environment?

  What about building VLC with a different libavcodec?  I successfully built 
VLC although mine could not access the network correctly, probably a 
./configure problem.

  Thanks for all the additional suggestions; I archived Martin's VLM script 
examples for more experiments.  I guess they'll have to wait until after I've 
dealt with this hurdle.
