DSMYTH. Google it or look at sourceforge specifically. It sets up the Myth:// and Mythlive:// and all that stuff. </blockquote><div><br>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:
<br><br>"The selected file has a scheme that is not recognized by Windows Media Player, but the Player may still be able to play it..."<br><br>If it continue to attempt to play it it says "Windows Media Player encountered an unknown error"
<br><br>So my question remains the same as before.<br><br><br> </div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div><span><div><span class="gmail_quote">
