You can watch recorded movies using NFS or CIFS as I sometimes currently do, but AFAIK, you can't watch live TV when you don't have a TV card in the client. Putting the TV card on a server and stream the content is a way to have live TV on any computer in the network, without installing a extra TV card.

For instance I have a wireless networked portable where I can watch TV. No need for TV cable connection or TV tunner thnx to the streaming concept. I have something working for the portable using php, but I like to extend this towards my freevo client. Yo can make any linux client make watch TV live without having a tuner, if you got a home server

  Quoting Paul Sijben <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Geert,

just for my information, why would you want to stream the data? Wouldn't
an NFS or CIFS share achieve your goals simpler?

Folks I need some advice,

First I explain what I've got

- a freevo recording server running on CC 4.0 (no gui) works perfect.
This machine is also my home internet server (combining best of both
worlds) On this machine I have vlc installed and I'm alrady capable of
starting a live stream or a recorded stream from my PVR 500 in the CC
box. The client interface I have for the moment is a php webinterface
(mozilla only) which works in linux and windows. It's client independend.

Now I wanna implement live tv stream in a freevo client without TV card.
(Everything streamed from my CC server)

I'v created a fxd file capable of launching vlc on the client box in
stream listening mode, and streamed content gets actualy played.

(I'm using a modified vlc.py I grabbed from freevofreebox1.0.tgz)

Now I need to find a way to start up vlc with the desired parameters on
the server.

rsh comes to my mind to do this from the command line.

Is there any possibility to execute multiple commands from a fxd file?
like starting the stream remotly and then start vlc localy to listen.

Other aproaches?

Geert
