Not really, I mean it can but you'll need to install Mythbackend as well which gives you all the recording functionality. Basically the frontend needs the backend in order to work.
You could try just using vlc, mplayer or other tools that can stream from the network/file system then create some pages using Apache to display your video directory. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org
