I know it might be a pain, but could you post a precompiled Xbmc live?
Thanks for everything

Are you sure this build really include the SlingBox add-on
Bye the way, very nice idea to do this feature ! If yes this there a GUI in XBMC ?
You need to manually add a Slinbox source like outlined. It's the same principle as adding a MythTV source. Simply go to your video section and go Add Source.
Hope that helps,
Harry

If I get a chance to setup a linux environment for compiling I will but no promises

Harry Muscle Wrote:Yup, both are C++ documents, one is the actual c++ source file and the other is the c++ header file. As for answering your question, sorry no idea.

Great, I will try it out and if i have any problem, is it ok if i could pm you?
however, how i can watch a stream on my form? what the slingboxlib suppose to do??

The purpose of the SlingboxLib is to allow anyone who is programming in C++ to include this library in their program (as long as they follow the GPL License rules of course) and have their program interact with a Slingbox at a low level. It does not decode the stream or display it, it does however communicate with the Slingbox and allow you to receive the stream. From there you need your own code to decode it (not decrypt, just decode ... ie: process a wmv format stream) and actually display it.
I do not know of any method that will allow you to use this (or the SlingboxSDK) with VB.NET ... doesn't mean there isn't a way, but I don't know of any since I don't program in VB.NET.
Thanks,
Harry

Once you put the code in SVN should it theoretically work?TolaxThis should be possible now that we have xbmc fully ported to the ATV 2. How can we setup to stream content from Slingbox Pro-HD to Apple tv already running xbmc?
tedbone Wrote:I know. The thought of this gives me a "techno-boner!" As I understand it, the current ATV2 jailbreak is tethered, so each ATV2 reboot requires a Mac OS yo inject the XBMC code to run it. However, I'm guessi g once they figuere out a non-tethered JB, the SVN code should work every time (don't hold me to this - just theory).Apple TV 2 is untethered now so how can we get this to work, anyone know?
$99 ATV2+XBMC w/SlingBox support= Epic WIN!

Thanks Harry, so does the SlingboxLib allows me to enter the finder id, open ports, password before I would receive the stream?

Harry Muscle, could you answer this please?

If you look at the header file you'll see all the functions that are part of the library. As you'll notice there is none for the Finder ID, it requires an actual IP address or domain name. So basically what you need is address of the Slingbox, port number, whether to login as admin or viewer and the password. If you'd like to see an example of how to implement the SlingboxLib I'd recommend checking out the patch I submitted for XBMC, since part of that patch is the SlingboxLib and the other main part is actually implementing it in XBMC. Especially look at the CSlingboxFile::Open function.
Thanks,
Harry

Great work Harry! I've been hoping to be able to access SlingBox streams through XBMC for a while now and it's finally happening.
I'm able to view the stream but am having problems changing channels, I presume I have to sniff out the remote control codes for my system. Any pointers as to how I do that?
