     1.4 +General Information
     1.5 +===================
     1.6 +
     1.7 +GMythStream (GMS) is a transcoder server developed in python. It makes live 
     1.8 +transcode of any input video and streams it via HTTP. The media player opens
     1.9 +an HTTP uri informing the input video location and the desired muxer/video/audio
    1.10 +formats. The GMS server parses this url and starts to transcode the input video
    1.11 +using one of the transcode plugins: gmencoder or mencoder. The transcoder output
    1.12 +is sent to the media player via the HTTP connection.
    1.13 +
    1.14 +The client can also request transcode progress and the files already transcoded
    1.15 +and stored in the server. GMS is currently hardly used as a live transcoder for
    1.16 +mythtv content (recorded videos and livetv).
    1.17 +
    1.18 +GMS is free software, licensed under the GNU GPL.

    1.37 +Bugs should be reported to the GMyth SourceForge bug tracking system.
    1.38 +(http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=177106&atid=879914.) 
    1.39 +
    1.40 +In the bug report please include:
    1.41 +
    1.42 +* Information about your system. For instance:
    1.43 +
    1.44 +   - GStreamer version
    1.45 +   - Available GStreamer plugins (run gst-inspect with no arguments)
    1.46 +
    1.47 +  And anything else you think is relevant.
    1.48 +
    1.49 +* Before you report a bug, it will be useful to know if GStreamer works.
    1.50 +  If you have playback issues, try running this command:
    1.51 +
    1.52 +  $ gst-launch-0.10 playbin uri="file:///path/to/my/musicfile.ogg"
    1.53 +
    1.54 +  Just replace /path/to/my/musicfile.ogg with some sound file in this command
    1.55 +  above.
    1.56 +
    1.57 +* How to reproduce the bug.
    1.58 +
    1.59 +* If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was printed out when the
    1.60 +  crash occured, and a trace (which can be obtained by using gdb or bug-buddy).
    1.61 +  See http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on getting
    1.62 +  stack traces.
