"Unofficial MythTv plugin MythStream offers streaming capabilities." (9 words)
MythStream is a plugin that is not officially supported by MythTV. It is based on StreamTuned, and it provides the same features as StreamTuned, except for recording and some player debug output. The current version of MythStream is v0.16_3, which works with MythTV v0.16 and v0.17. However, newer versions of MythStream work with MythTV v0.18, thanks to John Miller's patch, which has been integrated into MythStream v0.16_4 and above.
This release of MythStream comes with several new features. Firstly, it compiles with MythTV v0.18. Secondly, it supports podcasts, which means that users can quickly and easily access their favorite podcasts. Thirdly, it has a playlist cache, which makes it more efficient when dealing with XML feeds. Fourthly, it also supports file downloads, which is useful for downloading podcast episodes.
MythStream v0.16_3 also comes with an item detail information screen, which launches a viewer for HTML or text data in XML feeds. Additionally, it has custom colors in settingsrc for StreamTuned users and allows for copying and pasting stream items between repositories. It can parse (icecast) XML and other playlists though external, user-customizable scripts.
MythStream v0.16_3 also includes a workaround for an issue where MPlayer hangs on .pls files without the -playlist option. It also has improved parsing of MPlayer error messages and removes bugs such as tempfile blocking multiuser play and recovery from MPlayer lockups.
Lastly, MythStream v0.16_3 also supports static HTML stream storages on webservers that refuse POST requests. It has a separate dump window that shows MPlayer stdout, which allows for manual stream URL starts. Finally, it includes multiple customizable CustomStreamEvents in player.xml. Overall, MythStream v0.16_3 is a fantastic plugin that provides a lot of features and functionality, making it an excellent addition to MythTV.
