I wrote a parser for MythStream that gives you access to the streaming media on <a href="http://www.clevelandbrowns.com" target="_blank">www.clevelandbrowns.com</a> so if there are any Cleveland Browns fans reading this list, let me know and I'd be happy to post my parser for you to use. I might be able to adapt this parser for some other teams if they offer streaming media from there site... let me know.

Why do so few exist for myth? Is it harder to implement than XBMC (which uses Python scripts)? Is it just a lack of interest, perhaps, or worst case, are there copyright issues? Josh, was it difficult for you to write that parser?

perl). I think the biggest thing is that on 9.5/10 sites if you
"scrape" the stream URL from the content of the site you're violating
the ToS or T&C (Terms & Conditions). On the contrary, sites
that provide an API for there streaming content (
<a href="http://youtube.com/dev" target="_blank">http://youtube.com/dev</a>) are permitted.<br><br>You
bring up a good point for general conversation... why is it that when I
go to my girlfriends Uncle's house where he runs on Windows Media
Center he has like 100 plug-ins for it that enables everything he could ask except
one to flush his commode (<a href="http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/thread/20347.aspx" target="_blank">http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/thread/20347.aspx</a>).
Is there a reason there is so much interest in writing plug-ins for MCE
over Myth? IMHO MythTV beats out MCE on all phases of what someone
should expect from a Media Center... I evaluated both (including
BeyondTV and SageTV) for months before I finally settled on Myth
(little over 2 years ago).<br><font color="#888888"><br>Josh</font><br></blockquote><div><br>Do you think that there is any correlation to the lack of "interest" in mythstream because it is not an official plugin?
