<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks Auric! Yes, I did base my code on yours
although since the TwitTV site you were referencing was much more complicated
than the HirTV site I was looking at, I mostly dumbed it down and simplified it
(no search mode since they only retain 7 days of news anyway, etc.) I
have some other sites in mind that are more complicated that I might apply your
Twit techniques to. They are also flash-based so I probably won’t
have the problems I’m having with WMV. Unfortunately, most of the
content I’m after at HirTV and other Hungarian sites is WMV (it kind of
looks like most of the TV stations over there signed up the same web design
shop!)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I wasn’t ready to dive into Python since I’m
more of a native perl speaker.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This explains a lot. So basically, if I want to get on
the cutting edge, I have to move off a stable release and on to beta. Will
I also take source updates from a repository in that case (git? Svn?)?
I presume there are no packages for the latest releases. I have a
system I can do that with, I’ll get started.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>One other topic along these lines. Some of the content
I’m interested are live video feeds, just a straight transmission of what
is on a national network. It seems to me that I can just make that feed an
item in my MythNetvision RSS grabber (presuming the player can process it), but
is there another plugin or model for that kind of content that fits
better? It almost would seem reasonable to virtualize a ‘tuner’
that can play various web content, and then select that with ‘Watch TV’
(or record it.) I guess that would be implemented sort of like a
driver. Maybe it’s feasible, maybe someone already suggested it…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’d be interested in your updates, thank you!<o:p></o:p></p>
