What is homeTVstream FOR LINUX?

homeTVstream is a collection of shell scripts and a PHP-based webpage for watching TV on your LAN computers.

This project is based on VLC, it encodes and streams video using port 8080 in an MMS stream, so you can watch it with VLC, using URL mmsh://yourserverip:8080/, or any other MMS-capable player, using URL mms://yourserverip:8080/, or just by opening the TV

Requirements:

I like to compile VLC myself, because when I try to install it with aptitude
(Debian package manager), it tries to install a bunch of unnecessary stuff,
which I won't need to stream TV, or avi files.
So here's how I do it in a spoonfed way: :-)

./configure --enable-mp3lame --enable-gpl --enable-pp
--enable-shared --disable-static
--enable-xvid --disable-ffserver --disable-ffplay
--cpu=pentium4 $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7

then compile and install it.

./configure --enable-release

then compile and install it.

./configure --disable-mad --disable-libmpeg2 --disable-wxwidgets
--disable-skins2 --disable-dvdnav --enable-v4l --disable-gnomevfs
--disable-libcdio --disable-libcddb --disable-cdda --disable-vcd
--disable-dts --disable-x11 --disable-xvideo --disable-glx
--disable-opengl --disable-sdl --disable-fb --disable-ncurses
--disable-visual --disable-bonjour --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame
--enable-release --enable-ffmpeg --disable-alsa
--with-ffmpeg-zlib $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8

(--disable-alsa is because I'm using the old OSS module for my SBLive)

then compile and install it.
