There is a pseudo front end for Windows that will work to stream and play the actual video files from the server which are not stored in a standard AVI format, as well as grab the corresponding show info. It will allow you to either stream the video from the backend server, or play the actual files through a network share or local copies of the video files. It doesn't have all the features of the full front end though, but a lot of that sort of functionality is implemented wonderfully in the MythWeb plugin that can be installed. The needed files are located at http://dsmyth.sourceforge.net. --Dave Madsen ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
