Begging scripters for internet-TV "links" script...

There is an alternative... if I recall there is a plugin for firefox somewhere where you can submit a link and it dumps it to your xbmc as a stream so it plays it (not certain that is exactly what it does or how but you should get the jist of it). At any rate, it sowrked wonderfully for sites like youtube and the like.. give it a try and see what it does....

Only thing that needs to be done is to convert the different pages to an rss feed, with each video link in <enclosure> tags. Done it before for another site using php and Snoopy class - http://sourceforge.net/projects/snoopy/ .

Then you can just use a script like this on the xbox - http://www.matthewtuffin.co.uk/Blog/index.php?itemid=49 - (great script btw! use it daily.) to stream in the content via rss.

I'll take a swing at it when I have time... or any of you can just go ahead and try doing it using any free html to rss free service like these (yeah.. no scripting skills required whatsoever):

PS:
it kind of bugs me why media streaming via rss hasn't been natively implemented yet in XBMC.

These would have to be included in the script I assume?

XBMC has a huge range of codecs etc, shouldn't be a problem!

Did anyone move with this?... Man I wish I knew how to code!

I would love to see a script for Tv-links.co.uk here is the link to the database

http://www.tv-links.co.uk/index.do/4

It would be an awesome addition to everyones xbmc.

I can only assume there are no scripters viewing this forum, it is a shame as so many users would really like this tv-links script.
fingers crossed someone stumbles across our request.

Well I just got my XBMC working and am also a huge lover of tv-links. I am thinking about looking into writing a script for this, but I have never used python (too bad there is no Ruby interpreter for XBMC ). I think I am going to give it a shot anyway though and see how it goes. I will be out of town for Million Man LAN for a few days, but I'll try and get a little something working as soon as I can... if I can.

I have used and currently use the xbmc fox but for some reason or another most of the links I send to my xbox don't seem to work. Actually I think I got one to work from Tv-links. That is why I was looking for a script for this site. I am trying to make one but I am having limited success getting the xml. with all of the show links.

I was thinking about maybe teaming up with bootsy and getting this out - not till XinBox V.1.0 is finished tho.

Will keep ya posted

Thank you so much for your working on this script. I have tried a few things but I am not a coder so I did not manage to do anything.

Thank you again this script will get a lot of use I am sure.
