DSMYTH. Google it or look at sourceforge specifically. It sets up the Myth:// and Mythlive:// and all that stuff.
ok, I should probably clarify myself. I have DSMyth installed. The problems I was talking about come from when, after ds 'sets up' the myth:// and mythlive:// uri's, wmp/vlc/media player of choice is launched with the uri as an argument (at least I assume this is what happens). No player knows how to handle the myth:// protocol, for instance WMP gives this error:
"The selected file has a scheme that is not recognized by Windows Media Player, but the Player may still be able to play it..."
If it continue to attempt to play it it says "Windows Media Player encountered an unknown error"
So my question remains the same as before.

MythStreamTV (not so great on the minimal side, but...)
