</div></div>It looks like it is a dedicated flash lite player. I guess you would<br>
have to write a flash player that can talk to mythtv. It mentions H.264<br>
decoding, but nothing else, so I guess unless mythtv happens to be using<br>
that codec, it won't like the video files very much.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br></div></div>The Popbox itself lists that it can handle MPEG-2, but the only find information I can find for third-party developer's is for flash lite. If the Popbox doesn't somehow allow MPEG-2 playback through third-party apps, then a MythTv app on it doesn't seem worthwhile.<br>
<br></blockquote></div><br>Apps on the Popbox must be written in Adobe Flash Lite. Adobe Flash Lite's documentation says it can play any video that the device supports. Since the Popbox website says it can play MPEG-2, I am hoping that playback will be possible. <br>
