Description
This patch enables livetv streaming through the mythbackend's http server.
To watch a channel, go to http://[backend-address]:6544/livetv/[channel-num]
If available, the stream uses the recording profile called "Stream TV". With the live tanscoder patch, this profile can be setup such that the stream gets transcoded to a different format.

Sorry, but I do not suceed to get this working with svn 21583. Please have a look a the printscreen and the mythbackendlog enclosed. Are there specific instructions to follow or settings to configure ?

Please do not use trac as a support forum. Direct questions to the mailing list, not to the ticket.

In general, I think this is useful functionality to have but the approach and patch need a lot of work:-
- the patch is incomplete (it has a hard coded tuner number) and makes no attempt to find the correct tuner for the channel.
- it needs updating for trunk (trivial enough)
- the actual streaming does not work. Streaming to mplayer does get a picture at least, but playback is pretty broken. Streaming to vlc and mythavtest does not work.
- there is no handling of scheduling conflicts for the livetv channel (e.g. what happens when the backend wants to claim the tuner for a recording - probably other related issues as well).
- I've not tested but presumably streaming ends at the end of the current program.
If someone wants to update for trunk and start addressing some of these issues, then please re-open with a revised patch.
