Sure, that works fine if you just want to download them and then play them on your remote PC. However, as Joel stated previously, if you want to stream them, you need to edit the mythweb.conf. I'm very excited about this. I didn't even realize this was possible until I saw this thread. I have successfully downloaded from my mythbox and played some nuv files, after installing the directshow filters on the remote PC (although the quality was poor, I'll look at this later). However, I cannot yet get the streaming to work. I tried copying the 'slave backend' line in mythweb.conf and editing it appropriately, but as my backend is not a slave, I'm not sure if I'm missing something. I also opened up port 6543 through my firewall to the mythbox. Joel, can you elaborate on "edit your mythweb conf to use the myth:// url"? What exactly should this line look like? Do I need any other ports open besides 6543? TIA Garry
