I would try installing VLC media player and try it again. AFAIK windows
player will not play our files without a transcode. VLC will stream
from
mythtv just fine plus its fairly light weight.

Thanks for the advice Bill, but I have already tried VLC.
I never managed to make it work. Besides its not really what I want - I
want something that apache can be in control of. VLC server isnt so good
in this respect.
I may continue down the asx route and see if I can find another client
instead of windows media player.
Just a pity my perl isn't very good otherwise I would have a look at the
mythweb code.
