XdTV allows to watch xvid and uncompressed files over the http protocol.

First, on Linux you have to launch the streaming server:
use a such command:

xdtv -rec_http_port 63427 -rec_stream on -e record -rec_vcodec xvid -rec_chg on -rec_width 384 \
-rec_height 288 -rec_acodec UnCompressed -rec_display on -noplugin -noxawpopup

or 

xdtv -rec_http_port 63427 -rec_stream on -e record -rec_vcodec UnCompressed -rec_chg on -rec_width 384 \
-rec_height 288 -rec_acodec UnCompressed -rec_display on -noplugin -noxawpopup

Be careful: 
----------
/dev/null is automatically used with streaming now. It doesn't work with "-rec_filemane" anymore.
If you want to stream a film and record it at the same time you can, of course, use:

-rec_filename /home/user/name.avi or -rec_filename /home/user

it will work if the path exist!!!

On Linux you can catch the http stream with several different clients:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

	xdtv:
		use this command: xdtv -noplugin -avi http://localhost:63427 (or your xdtv server address)
	mplayer:
		use this command: mplayer http://localhost:63427 (or your xdtv server address)
	xine:
		use this command: xine http://localhost:63427 (or your xdtv server address)
	vlc:
		use this command: vlc http://localhost:63427 (or your xdtv server address)

On windows the mplayer & vlc clients must work (as they work on Linux):
------------------------------------------------------------------------

	- You can download one mplayer client here: http://mpf.dzm.hu/download.php
  	and use this command: mplayer http://localhost:63427 (or your xdtv server address)

	- vlc can be download here: http://www.videolan.org/

We never test Windows Media Player so.... may be it works, may be not.

Be careful :
-------------
- If you use XdTV to watch the stream on an other computer you must install it first.

- If you want to change channel from the distant xdtv you must copy the xdtvrc on the both sides.

- Only the XdTV stream client propose the option to change through the network the channel that is streamed.
