Title: RTSP video input stream support
Post by: jcd on April 10, 2007, 09:28:23 pm

Where I live (France) we have various internet boxes that allow to get most of our TV channels over ADSL. In particular the box provided by my ISP is allowing to stream multiple RTSP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Time_Streaming_Protocol) stream on any PC on the house network (limited by the ADSL bandwith we have).

VLC is known to handle these streams quite well (mplayer is doing an OK job but not as well as VLC). So how difficult would it be to get this integrated to MythTV and/or LinuxMCE.

Obviously the idea is to be able to record things on the "core" to later provide them to any "Media Directors". Being able to associate an EPG would be nice as well as being able to plan for recording.

I guess there is already a solution:
