The machine I use for vlc is neither a MBE or a SBE all of the time (sometimes mythbackend is not running at all) and it works just fine for VLC. So long as the paths to the given files are consistent across all of the machines vlc appears to work just fine even when the machine in question has no association with mythtv at all. My vlc setup is now broken I upgraded to Fedora 10 and it cannot find a fourcc codec that is used in the vlc conversion so fails, I have not yet been able to determine the correct fix. And you could also transcode all of your recordings I transcode all of my digital content down to SD via a cron job and some job queue software that allows me to schedule jobs across my 2 computers on my network to transcode the new recordings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Mvpmc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mvpmc-users mvpmc wiki: http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/
