[Live-devel] help with streaming a .ts file

[Jason Reeves]

Thanks for the help.  I was also able to stream the .mp4 files (created
with the -4 switch) if I renamed them to .m4e, but again with no trick play
functionality.

I shall attempt your solution to convert the .m4e files to TS files and
report back with my results.
