Is there plans to support interaction with the EPG (ie scheduling recordings)
Does the content from the cable provider need to be marked "copy freely" to stream to XBMC?

Recording is a likely possibility, but not my highest priority.
And only copy freely, but if you have Verizon or Comcast most channels are copy freely.

...and you did the right thing at the right time: they just went down to $199 and RemoteCeton is going to give you the best extender+streamer+slingcatcher+IOSplaceshifter...

Thanks again, that is what I assumed. Unfortunately, I'm with Time Warner so that may present an issue as I read that only local channels are copy freely.

Also, the resolution might be misleading: when you select 720 in RemoteCeton for trnascoding, it does not send 720p video (1280x720). It uses 720 for width, not horizontal resolution, so the video gets compressed at 720x406.

Same with 1080, it is not transcoded at 1920x1080, but 1080x608. Both look great though, but maybe resolutions should be adjusted to the standard.

Fixed audio and resolution...
Update the XBMC plugin too.
I modified transcodeWidth param to transcodeResolution

Testing iOS streaming....

1.6.6 works great under W7 & OpenElec, simultaneous transcoded streams. CPU has jumped to around 25% per stream, but the quality at 720p is excellent.

Thats b/c its really 720 now, and not pixels 720 width. Smile
So theres alot more pixels to transcode

iOS is almost ready. I think...
Testing iOS stream for 10 minutes

Get ready for iOS Release! Smile
remoteCeton part done... make simple web page for initial release

iOS Transcoding! PreRelease build: http://www.mediafire.com/?53pb8642nzpp2h6
No issues with it... just doesnt have a nice interface yet and transcoding options are fixed.
Use this url on your iOS device: http://<ip address>:8555/m/

Overwrite webfiles/index.html file with this one:
http://www.mediafire.com/?8dcrw5onyebneoz
Startup works 100% now. It waits until stream is ready until it starts the video.

Todo: make it look alot nicer. options to change tuner/resolution/bitrate.

This version will truly make slingbox useless for me... Smile
