MythWeb HTML5 streaming video tag support for OGV and WebM

Description

Attached is a patch for the soon to be released 0.25 release of MythWeb which enables streaming video support via the HTML5 video tag for OGV and WebM formats which can be transcoded and streamed on the fly, similar to the FLV method used for Flowplayer.

The idea is to display the video tag if it's supported, and display the regular Flowplayer otherwise.

While there are likely better ways of doing this, I wanted to create a patch that is less "intrusive" on the original MythWeb code.

Milestone: 0.25unknown

We're in a feature freeze. Also, please read the ticket TicketHowTo, you shouldn't be setting the milestone.

Sorry about that. Thanks for correcting the milestone.

Tested your patch. It seems that on MythBuntu? the ffmpeg/mythffmpeg need "-strict -2" added to modules/stream/stream_webm.pl and I had to comment out "-acodec libvorbis" to get it to stream due to it complaining.

I've added an updated patch for the fixes/0.26 branch of MythWeb which is simplified a bit and allows for local filename resolution with failover to the MythTV Services API if the local recording cannot be found.

Given Mythweb is EOL, I'm closing new features. This should be done via the backend webserver now.
