I just recently got a 4508 and love it!! Save some problems I'm having with it not recording shows but that is not what this thread is about.
I have been using DVArchive to pull shows off of my ReplayTV. This is working fine save the fact that the files are so dang big!!
I have been using VideoLAN to stream from my ReplayTV and DVArchive to stream my copied shows back.
As I looked into the VideoLAN Server I see that it takes various video formats and streams them as MPEG2 to the VideoLAN Client. I want the VideoLAN Server to stream to my ReplayTV!! That would be so cool because then I could convert the ReplayTV MPEG files to something smaller like DIVX!! Not only would that lend to better storage of my ReplayTV shows, it would allow me to watch the shows I have downloaded off the net on my ReplayTV.
DVArchive currently Proxies for the ReplayTV, would it be that difficult to do the same thing only the otherway? Proxy the VideoLAN for the ReplayTV.
One of my conserns is that I know the ReplayTV doesn't use a standard MPEG2 format. I have not tried adding a foriegn MPEG2 file to DVArchive so I don't know if the stream would even be compatible without alterations.
Anyway, that is my wish. I'm not even close to be exprienced enough to try this myself. So, let me know what you think and if this is already being done etc.
