MythTV and old WII, via WIIMC

http://www.wiimc.org/

Have connected our Fedora MythTV to the WII Multimedia player, installed on the Homebrew Channel

WIIMC does not see the MythTV as a server, so connecting to the mythtv machine as a fileserver to access the video files directly.

two modes currently: FTP and SMB

Notes:

1) annoying fact:  vsftpd does not follow symlinks;  so my rename/make symlink script does not work, have to access the files directly, if using the default fedora vsftpd server.

2) smb share does see the symlinks, but does not play, still working on this.

TODO:  Create some sort of web interface... still need to research, on this one.
