Watch EyeTV shows over the net on another port
Authored by: ejensen on Oct 09, '07 09:54:08AM

Perhaps I am missing the point but I have been using CyTV+VLC for years to watch EyeTV recordings and live TV without the hassles involved here. I have not tried any port trickery with it though- you can download its source code though. I tried out the new (v2.5) EyeTV server but was pretty underwhelmed so I turned it off again. The EyeTV server requires all of the recordings to be in H.264, which is a significant system load as the files are re-encoded. CyTV plays standard recorded files just fine over my 802.11g WLAN at home. I did (just to see) temporarily open the CyTV ports on my router and could get things from work too but the upload speeds on my cable modem made it less than nice viewing, and I turned it off [confession- I did once sftp a BSG season 2.5 new episode when I was on the road in Germany].

To just follow up, I think the CyTV server can do what you want more easily (though I didn't try setting it up myself). Also it looks like if it cannot, this old hint on re-streaming CyTV through VLC would do it: <http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060109064616941>;.
