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

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