QuTS hero is the operating system for high-end and enterprise QNAP NAS models. WIth Linux and ext4, QTS enables reliable storage for everyone with versatile value-added features and apps, such as snapshots, Plex media servers, and easy access of your personal cloud. During installation, be sure to enable support for MPEG2, which is disabled by default.Īll of the above should enable you to both view your MythTV backend in WMP11, and to double-click on a recording to view it.QTS is the operating system for entry- and mid-level QNAP NAS. Download the latest build from the ffdshow tryouts website, and install it. FFDShow is based on FFMPEG, which powers all of MythTV's media support, but plugs into the Windows DirectShow codec architecture. If you have a commercial DVD player such as PowerDVD installed this should already be supported - otherwise we will use FFDShow. It can be downloaded from The Haali website.įinally, you need to enable support for the codecs used in recordings - typically MPEG2 for video and MP2 or AC3 for audio. For this, we will install the Haali Media Splitter - this primarily adds support for the Matroska container format, but as a secondary effect, adds support for other formats including MPEG-TS. Next, you need to enable support for the MPEG Transport Stream container used by DVB recordings (and possibly MPEG Encoder Cards like the PVR-150 too, but this is untested). Tick the box marked 'Find media that others are sharing' then OK. Click the little arrow under Library, then Media Sharing. First, share viewing support must be enabled in WMP11. That said, the MythTV machine should be immediately visible in Windows Media Player's 'Library' view, as soon as sharing support is enabled - it will simply throw an error if you attempt to open an unsupported file.Īt the moment, this is only available under WMP11 in Vista. Whilst Windows Media Player 11 (WMP11) is capable of accessing a MythTV Backend, it does not include either the required codec support to view recordings nor the required container support to open MPEG Transport Stream files. Fortunately, that means it's capable of accessing music and recordings from a Mythbackend. Windows Media Player 11 includes a UPnP server and client, allowing it to share media with other UPnP devices, and to view media from other UPnP devices.
