Hey,
I have a recording that I'm trying to stream across the net. The problem i'm having is that windows medi player does not seam to be getting anything from the server.
I have both 8002 and 8001 forward to my myth-box. When i view 8002 i get the VLC media player page(i guess thats a good thing).
So i go to myth-web. select stream, select my program, select stream, select play, and then go over to my windows media player and enter the url (http://my-domain-name-here:8001) and widnows media player fails to find anything.
below is my log output.

I take it your trying to
I take it your trying to view this from another location other than your local LAN? Does it work inside your local LAN? If this is a remote computer your trying to view from, are you sure that ports 8001 and 8002 are able to go out? Mine at work here are turned off so it doesn't work for me. Is that all of your log?

Hey,
Hey,
I have not tried it in the local network, and yeah i'm trying to stream it from work. Perhaps thoes ports are blocked i'm not sure. I would think they are NOT b/c i can view the admin site on 8002 from me desk computer. I will have to take a look @ the blue coat and see whats what.
i know that on my local router it's all good with both ports.
Yes... that is all of my log that i get. Is it missing something??
Is this a DVB card by
Is this a DVB card by chance?

Naw.
Naw.
my tuner card is a wintv-go plus.
would that matter??
what does my tuner card have to do with streaming it over the net.
The DVB cards seem to have
The DVB cards seem to have trouble with this just like MythtvBurn does. From what I have read, it does look like your card will not work using mythstreamtv. It encodes in MPEG4 format and I think it needs to be MPEG2. I could be wrong on this though. I think it has to do with the version of vlc that MythDora uses. I custom built this a while back to work especially with MythDora but they may have made better improvements since then. If you want to, you can try and remove the videolan-client rpm that's installed now and use a newer one here -

I can't garuantee it will work but it sure is worth a try. And if it does, let us now.

hey,
hey,
This is a recorded program i'm trying to stream.. Not live Tv.
does that matter?
Yes that matters. It's still
Yes that matters. It's still in MPEG4 format. One other thing you can try is nuvexport. You maybe able to convert your file into MPEG2 format but don't hold me to that.

MPEG4
Just so you know I have a Plextor 402U (Hardware based Divx/Mpeg4 encoding) that I am using with Mythdora/MythStreamTV and it works perfectly. I can't ff or rw and skip but standard streaming seems to work without a hitch.
