well, I have been taking a look. I don't have anything but 'proof of concept' stuff to show for my trouble yet, but I am too tired to carry on.
I can confirm that using wget on the http interface is a really easy way to do this but a more complete approach would be to use the corba interface or possibly the rc commands but I will try that another day. Looking at the themes so I can incorporate the controls, and I don't have a real clue. My PHP skills are minimal so I will have to wait and see what Joshua comes up with while I try and brush up. I also still can't get the actual scripts to run from the web. I have to invoke the mythstreamtv.sh script over an ssh connection atm. I think it is a permissions issue. As for you WMP not working. I have only gotten WMP to work so far. I am using WMP 10, and have the DivX/XviD codecs installed. Make sure you are using the correct port number, and have a decent connection otherwise it may just sit there buffering.
