How to stream video without requiring user interaction
#1
Hi,

I'm new to XBMC and recently loaded it on my Raspberry Pi. I'm impressed with the stability of the software.

I have an application where I would like to have the device automatically display a constant stream of video without needing interaction from the user. I tried the Random Movie Trailers add-on and that worked, but only played about 10 trailers, then reverted to the xbmc main menu.

I would like to use this device to display News or Current Events on a TV in the lobby of our building. Something for our customers to view while they are waiting.

Ideally, it would be nice to tune to a stream, and have the device automatically play the most recent stream, 24/7.

Any ideas?

the IPTV PVR add-on should be able to do this, along with the PVR settings to resume playback on XBMC startup. Not sure on the details since I haven't tried this myself, but it shouldn't be too bad. If I have some time I'll try writing up a little guide on the IPTV add-on, as I've been meaning to do that anyways.
