Ive done some reading of the wiki already but quickly got out of my depth as im no coder.
Tried several times to get my head round it, but no go.
A colleague at my record label is constantly being sent public links to Youtube, SoundCloud, and few others but these are the main two, of pre-release music for promotional purposes. He currently splurts these out via Twitter, Youtube playlists and a blog to a group of pretty dedicated subscribers.
He recently saw my XBMC setup and the Youtube plugin in particular, his question was how difficult would it be to write a scraper or add-on that would read a wordpress based blog and just forward the content to an XBMC plugin, effectively creating his own channel. Each blog bost just has an embedded player from SC or YT, little else.
As i said ive had a read and look into it and have just ended up confusing myself, is this possible? And how much work is realistically involved?
It seems relatively simple in theory, but in practice im sure its not!
