what if users download the XML themselves? And just place it into the webfiles/resources folder?

Well that is a possibility and I dont think it will upset the creator of MyChannelLogos since they will need to install his software to get the logos anyway.. We will need to still send the callsign through the api or open mc2xml and lookup the call sign for each channel number. If we open the xml files Ill have to test whether the new http server supports serving up xml files (the last one did not otherwise I would have went the route of parsing the xml files)

Isn't the call sign just the channel name?
Although the Cetons channel name doesnt completely match up
But if I pull the channel name from the SQLite db it does match up Smile

Are you sure about the resolution? Can you verify that in vlc?
It seems to be working for me...

Added the resolution/bitrate output again Smile

If you disable the security in the settings, does GoodPlayer work again?

I found out it works inside the LAN (with security on or off) but not trough 3G. RemoteCeton gets the call and starts the stream, but the video does not reach GoodPlayer.

Also, starting TV on XBMC plugin 1.8.2 crashes RemoteCeton with or without security

sometimes that is the case (ex: tvland), some channels that have changed their channel names over the years are still named the old name (ex: HDTheater changed their name to Velocity but the callsign is still HDT) also west coast feeds sometimes have a "p" at their end of the call sign but they use the same channel logo as their east coast counterpart. Also local channels need to be handled differently (depends on their 4th display-name in mc2xml .xml file) also hd files are usually accurate that an hd shows in their callsign but not always (abcf is available in hd but not hd logo exists currently)

EDIT: noticed that if logomapping.txt doesnt exist the webgui isnt showing the channel names instead just a blank img container, must have gotten broken somewhere along the way, Ill have to fix it and release something today. Sorry to anyone this may have affected..

Did it work previously? Downloading goodplayer on my iphone.
EDIT: Did you open port 8559? (If you only use the web app on 3g, you only need to open port 8555)

Found the crash...
