SnapStream BeyondTV control script

as soon as i get back from holiday (yes sad i check xbmc while away) ill open my server to da internet n let u have access to it. ill look at xml support to add to it if u want?

done some more reading n it looks likethe guide data doesnt store in xml but can use xml data. it stores it in a jet database. gona look into it some more.

what about parsing/using the snap stream.net program guide? then you could set recordings up from there...

im gona look into that, atm im working on view kai profiles in xbmc, as soon as im dun with that then ill work on dat.unless any1 else can

:bowdown: this is way cool. any chance of sharing the code on sourceforge or somewhere else?

the source will be released, eventually. i just have to test it with other versions of btv. it should at least be compatible with the latest version (3.5.?. ) before i release it.

i have been playing with the xbmcmythtv script a little and have figured out a way to get live channel changing to work while watching a stream, so though you might be interested. it's crude but works.

basically after i start playing the livetv stream i load an empty window, and as long as this is loaded after mplayer starts it will receive all the actions. so you can then map any button you want to pop-up your info, and change channel etc. just add your controls/background etc as normal, then use a thread to set a timeout to make it go away. (like the yac script)

anyway hope this helps. i am still doing some testing of it but so far it's working a treat, and have no performance problems with it. i will probably post a link to my changes in the mythtv thread over the weekend, so that might give you a better idea if you havn't got it working by then.

just wondering what the status of this project is?

:idea: here's an idea. post your code and let's all work on it... i don't see why just one person should work on it, i thought that was the point of open source. or at least, share with us what may be holding you back from releasing the script, eh? maybe we can help. i know i'd like this to work. beyondtv is robust and a great free pvr, i could completely eliminate my tv's tuner altogether and be able to be tivo'ish, i want this as bad as anyone, i'd just like to see it get done, so anything i can do to help. i'm sure others would agree.

peace.

since when is beyondtv a free pvr??

btw, this is something i've been waiting for ages as well.
