[lists] RE: [NMLUG] Video Server

I know this is a little off the path of the topic. But....

I've been using Videolan for a long time.  Mainly, I set it up so my father
could watch his college football games when his area is in blackout mode.
It is not realtime but only a minute or so off.

The process is he logs into the mythtv web frontend and starts the
recording. Then opens an ssh with some port forwarding pre-setup, runs a
simple shell script to start videolan on the recording nuv/avi file,  and
then he runs windows media classic or the video lan viewer it's self.   I
only have about a 60K upload connection.  The quality is good and the setup
is easy.  I would not even consider myself close to the script and linux
skills you all show in these emails, but videolan maybe the simple little
method you want. The only trick I found was I needed to do was record at
320x240 so videolan did not need to downsize the picture from 720x480.
Saved the machine from lagging on the CS:S server also running on the box.


The system
AMD duron 1200
384 Megs ram
250 gig HD ATA
pvr-350
dsl connection.
