That’s right! GMyth now supports live-tv! So it’ll be a matter of time about anybody doing an application just as a proof of concept using this new feature from GMyth (maybe some guys from INdT ? – it also includes me 😉 )

Today we were able to play live-tv on our N800, using the stream from a PC running MythTV with an analog card. We are still not able to play live-tv from DVB cards because the resolution of the video is too high (and as well because of the MPEG2 codec).

This week I started working with some ffmpeg stuff, so I can learn how to code using it, to start coding a patch for MythTV. This patch will be able to transcode any request of live-tv before sending the stream, so we’ll not only be able to watch live-tv on N800 but also on any other device that requires any change regarding codecs/framerate/resolution.
