Hi All,
I like the Nokia 770 idea, but have yet to purchase one. I am looking for a mobile device that will integrate with MythTV. MythTV has a very good web application called MythWeb. It allows a user to do a lot of functionality remotely, such as:
(a) Browse Program Guide
(b) Schedule recordings
(c) View recording schedules
(d) View a list of recorded TV shows
(e) Download a recorded TV show and watch locally
(f) Stream a recorded TV show
(g) Burn one or more shows to DVD
(h) Listen to music
I think the Nokia 770 comes close to integrating well with MythTV/MythWeb. However, I am unsure about a few items...
(1) Does Nokia 770 play MPEG2 files?
(2) If the 770 does play MPEG2 files, will the video player accept a URL for streaming video?
(3) Can a shared folder (either NFS or SAMBA) be opened on the Nokia 770?
Unfortunately, the Nokia 770 does not have enough memory for downloading TV shows for watching, so streaming would be great if supported, but then again, the limited memory on the device might be problematic.
Any thoughts on how well the Nokia 770 would perform with MythTV/MythWeb?
