[QUESTION] Retrieving/playing list of Brightcove videos? - liamf - 2012-01-26

Hi,

apologies, I realise I posted this question yesterday to the incorrect forum
(http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=121039) so I'll try repeating here ...

I have sort of started unofficially maintaining the VODie plugin which handles Irish channels, the original developer having gone quiet for a bit.

One of the channels (RTE.ie) uses flash, but it is possible to scrape the site and play the content in XBMC. Similarly the http://www.tv3.ie/ site. I've updated scrapers for both to keep up to date with site changes.

One of these (http://www.tg4.ie) until recently had no useful video content.

Just today, though, some interesting content has appeared.

However this is handled by a Brightcove player. I have had a look around the forums but I cannot for the life of me figure out how (or if it is possible) to retrieve the list of flash videos for playback in XBMC.

I have seen the script.module.brightcove module, but it's not clear to me if this is for this use case.

Anyone got any ideas for how to approach this?

Thanks
Liam
