MythStream

I like to listen to Nova 96.9's stream, and I'd been doing it really sloppily at home by quitting the MythTV front-end running on the TV, and just running mplayer with the URL of the stream.

I really wanted to be able to play the stream through MythTV. So a few weeks ago I did a spot of searching and up came MythStream, which appeared to be just the ticket.

I'd already done a few sloppy unpackaged installations of things on the MythTV machine, and I wanted to stop this, so I held off installing it until I had time to make a package of it.

Today I finally had time to make said package (which is here if anyone else is interested) and it works a treat for what I want to do. It looks like it has plenty of other features that I don't really need but will explore anyway.
