Hey Lewis, I answered your Cartoon Network question earlier... Navi-X has ALL PBS Episodes as well! In fact, here are the network podcasts Navi-X offers... Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, Comedy Central, Discovery Channel, Funimation, HBO and Nova Science.

I ask that anyone thinking about making a plugin or script for a TV network, please check Navi-X first because we are rapidly working on adding TV networks, streaming movies and music as we speak.

I'd hate for someone to spend a whole lot of time on a plugin when the content has already been added and more can be added in seconds to Navi-X!

I love the script, and no i'm not interested in navi-x. But would be nice to get a working update.

Sorry guys, I've been busy with midterms and I've been out of town. The Frontline site and other pbs sites recently updated and its very time consuming coming up with a plugin to work for each site layout. I should have the Frontline plugin ready by Wednesday.

Well, Yawn I was up till 2am watching frontline and the mess that we're in with the economy. At work by 0610 not back up at 0500 yawn! Hey anyways your script works great. The only think I noticed is for some reason the default for nature to play properly I have to uncheck the "Built in DVD player" radiobutton then it plays fine. For frontline it requires the built in player (that doesn't display buffering cache progress) because if it uses mplayer the video is 5 times faster than the audio (we're talking a full 2 min faster) but when played with the built-in option in the plugin settings its fine, Nova needed mplayer or else is would shutter.

--Hope you see this feed back as good and not to be taken in the wrong context, this plugin ROCKs! (all I need now is knight rider (the old not the new) and I'll be almost set (besides Disney and Cartoon network - anyone?)

---Thanks again stacked you really are cool!Cool

That's the main reason I've include the setting to switch between players. Some videos play better with one more than the other.

I'm glad you like it. Big Grin

Well Im glad Im not the only one who seems to think scripts are treated like a disease and plugins are held to some high un-Godly gold standard. Anyone want to answer that question as to why that is? What really makes a plugin any better than a script?!? Nothing, thank you.
