Hello, i've did a bit of browsing and couldn't find anything...
I have not watched cable for... 10 years? a very long time.
My mother and father have recently decided to drop the cable because the overall quality of the channels is complete crap. lol
All of their favorite channels have been removed, so they asked me what to do.
I have had an XBMC HTPC for quite awhile, so i suggested that, and let them know that i could get it setup as best i could.
So far, they have everyting they could ask for. I even set them up a small NAS for Family Videos and Photos, and hooked it up to be viewed in the front room.
They are somewhat bewildered by technology, so it's like magic to them. lol
Anyway, the one thing that is missing is the News....
Mom misses her local news dearly. I have some other news plugins setup, CNN being her favorite, But she wants the local news.
Our local news, WSAZ streams live from the same url at the same alloted times every week.
http://www.wsaz.com/livestream
Because it is on the same site, i figured maybe there is a way to implement it into XBMC...
So i thought i would ask the community, maybe someone has done it before?
Thanks for any and all suggestions.
If i cannot implement the stream directly into XBMC, i can settle on using a launcher to open it in a browser.
I just think the less confusing it is for my parents, the better.
