/**
 * SECTION:element-mythtvsrc
 * @see_also: nuvdemux
 *
 * MythTVSrc allows to access a remote MythTV backend streaming Video/Audio server,
 * and to render audio and video content through a TCP/IP connection to a specific
 * port on this server, and based on a known MythTV protocol that is based on 
 * some message passing, such as REQUEST_BLOCK on a specified number of bytes, to get
 * some chunk of remote file data.
 * You should pass the information aboute the remote MythTV backend server 
 * through the #GstMythtvSrc:location property.
 * 
 * <refsect2>
 * <title>Examples</title>
 * <para>
 * If you want to get the LiveTV content (set channel, TV tuner, RemoteEncoder, 
 * Recorder), use the following URI:
 * <programlisting>
 *  myth://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:6543/livetv?channel=BBC
 * </programlisting>
 *
 * This URI will configure the Recorder instance (used to change the channel,
 * start the TV multimedia content transmition, etc.), using
 * the IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) and port number (6543) of the MythTV backend 
 * server, and setting the channel name to "BBC". 
 * 
 * To get a already recorded the MythTV NUV file, put the following URI:
 * <programlisting>
 *  myth://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:6543/filename.nuv
 * </programlisting>
 * 
 * Another possible way to use the LiveTV content, and just in the case you want to 
 * use the mysql database, put the location URI in the following format:
 * <programlisting>
 *  myth://mythtv:mythtv@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:6543/?mythconverg&channel=9
 * </programlisting>
 * 
 * Where the first field is the protocol (myth), the second and third are user 
 * name (mythtv) and password (mythtv), then backend host name and port number, 
 * and the last field is the database name (mythconverg).
 * </para>
 * </refsect2>
