Hi,
Thanks for the "-playlist" tip, that works great with streaming live tv with mplayer. But, when I try to stream a recording, mplayer appears to try and play a file locally. Does streaming a recording only work from the localhost?
No, but you have to configure VDRAdmin correctly: Go to the configuration menu of VDRAdmin. You'll find two settings for Video folder. One for VDR's video folder (e.g. /video) and one for your client PC for streaming. Here you have to supply the path where your PC can access VDR's recording. Please also consider viewing the online help.
Thanks, Andreas. I should RTFM better :). I was just trying to see if I could map a directory to a Windows PC using Samba, but it looks like its using 8.3 (shortname) dir listings which causes it to fail. Thats ok. I appreciate the clarifications. NFS would be the best solution.
Best Regards, C.
