(http://winmyth.sourceforge.net/) I wasn't able to use a WinMyth binary due to the backend being a recent CVS (mismatched protocol version, server=14, latest winmyth binary=13, etc). However, per the WinMyth/DSMyth instructions, I installed the 3ivx package (http://www.3ivx.com/, http://dsmyth.sourceforge.net/) .. which allowed the windows box to play the MPEG4 encoded .nuv files. Browsing the numeric files via Samba is ugly (as someone already mentioned), so I tried MythWeb. I added the server IP address and 'myth://' to line ~146 of mythweb/themes/Default/recorded_programs.php: echo '<a href="myth://10.0.0.123/mythweb/'.video_url() // <snip> .. browse recorded, click the picture, windows media player launches (because DSMyth's config has configured "myth://" protocol). ** If your myth backend is 100+ days old (proto 13), you can stop reading. In my CVS build, I commented mythtv's proto checking (mainserver.cpp, MainServer::HandleVersion) in a lame attempt to use the WinMyth binary. It didn't work, for WinMyth. The positive side effect was that DSMyth's latest binary is proto 13 as well, and seems to work fine communicating to a proto=14 server for "FileTransfer". (Read: For it to work, you'll need to have matching protocol versions, or comment as I have.) -Jay J google fodder: MainServer::HandleVersion - Client speaks protocol version 13 but we speak 14!
