Hi,
I have been playing with MythTv and think the product is great. Only
issue that I can see is the frontend being locked to a PC (home
theatre version etc).
Has anyone looked at IP-STB's like the Amino A103, A110, A124 or
IP-STB's from other manufacturers like DTVRO&TCOM?
I can see that some work has occurred in the MythstreamTv side but
then we would be using VLC to do the streaming via http:// and not
RTSP:// which would correctly support VOD access. Also MPEG2 TS
(transport stream) would need to be supported from the backend of
MythTv as well.
I don't want to have PC's in the lounge room, kids room or any other
location (other then the computer room) when I can get a IP-STB for
AUD$300 or less each.
The amino IP-STB's have full browsers, can support flash, small (like
120mm x 120mm x 30mm) and built for the exact function of sitting next
to the TV and come with keyboard and remote control.
Now I can multicast to my amino using VLC in two seconds but what I
want to do is access the mythtv content and be able to control that.
So are others interested in being able to do that? Anyone already
working on it? What do we need to do to get it working?
What you have described support the Amino only, and perhaps some others.
As of now, no standardisation has been done on the interface towards a
IP-STB. Each has his own solution for providing the services they do.
