renatofilho@901: General Information
renatofilho@901: ===================
renatofilho@901: 
renatofilho@901: GMythStream (GMS) is a transcoder server developed in python. It makes live 
renatofilho@901: transcode of any input video and streams it via HTTP. The media player opens
renatofilho@901: an HTTP uri informing the input video location and the desired muxer/video/audio
renatofilho@901: formats. The GMS server parses this url and starts to transcode the input video
renatofilho@901: using one of the transcode plugins: gmencoder or mencoder. The transcoder output
renatofilho@901: is sent to the media player via the HTTP connection.
renatofilho@901: 
renatofilho@901: The client can also request transcode progress and the files already transcoded
renatofilho@901: and stored in the server. GMS is currently hardly used as a live transcoder for
renatofilho@901: mythtv content (recorded videos and livetv).
renatofilho@901: 
renatofilho@901: GMS is free software, licensed under the GNU GPL.
