I just knocked together some shell scripts that transcode recordings and dump<br>
them onto a NAS box that serves them up over HTTP or UPnP. I can view these<br>
recordings on my iPhone with either Safari or PlugPlayer; an iPad should offer<br>
similar functionality. I have all recordings transcoded for streaming over the<br>
LAN automatically, so that the iPhone can serve as a "poor man's frontend" </blockquote><div><br>I'm doing something similar with a MythTV add-on I wrote called MythPodcaster (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/mythpodcaster/">http://code.google.com/p/mythpodcaster/</a>). MythPodcaster uses FFMpeg to transcode many of my recordings into several output encodings. Some of those encodings use the Apple HTTP Live Streaming format, which enables automatic stream switching to adapt to changing bandwidth. MythPodcaster renders RSS feeds that are easy to browse within Safari on the iPhone and iPad.<br>
