It didn't completely work.
I had firstly to enable network connections to port 6546, in the
setup/general page and restart the frontend.
Then I could telnet to localhost, query recordings and play my recording.
Unfortunately, the audio was there, but video was green, with a ghost
image of my recording underneath.
Hoping it was going to be better if I launched it through a
mythfrontend link, I've tried to edit the mainmenu.xml, adding a
button like this:
<button>
<type>TV_WATCH_RECORDING</type>
<text>Madagascar</text>
<action>echo play program 1029 2008-02-12T22:58:00 | telnet
localhost 6546</action>
</button>
but when pressing the button, nothing happens.
Now I realize that maybe the type is TV_WATCH_RECORDINGS (plural),
don't know if that might be the trick. I'll try this evening, unless
someone has any other suggestions.
Also, any hint on the green screen? I can obviously watch recordings
all right, through mythfrontend "Watch recordings" interface
Thanks
