     1 General Information
     2 ===================
     3 
     4 GMythStream (GMS) is a transcoder server developed in python. It makes live 
     5 transcode of any input video and streams it via HTTP. The media player opens
     6 an HTTP uri informing the input video location and the desired muxer/video/audio
     7 formats. The GMS server parses this url and starts to transcode the input video
     8 using one of the transcode plugins: gmencoder or mencoder. The transcoder output
     9 is sent to the media player via the HTTP connection.
    10 
    11 The client can also request transcode progress and the files already transcoded
    12 and stored in the server. GMS is currently hardly used as a live transcoder for
    13 mythtv content (recorded videos and livetv).
    14 
    15 GMS is free software, licensed under the GNU GPL.

    31 How to report bugs
    32 ==================
    33 
    34 Bugs should be reported to the GMyth SourceForge bug tracking system.
    35 (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=177106&atid=879914.) 
    36 
    37 In the bug report please include:
    38 
    39 * Information about your system. For instance:
    40 
    41    - GStreamer version
    42    - Available GStreamer plugins (run gst-inspect with no arguments)
    43 
    44   And anything else you think is relevant.
    45 
    46 * Before you report a bug, it will be useful to know if GStreamer works.
    47   If you have playback issues, try running this command:
    48 
    49   $ gst-launch-0.10 playbin uri="file:///path/to/my/musicfile.ogg"
    50 
    51   Just replace /path/to/my/musicfile.ogg with some sound file in this command
    52   above.
    53 
    54 * How to reproduce the bug.
    55 
    56 * If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was printed out when the
    57   crash occured, and a trace (which can be obtained by using gdb or bug-buddy).
    58   See http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on getting
    59   stack traces.
