[mythtv-users] MythStream video stream harvester for ABC Australia broadband content

[Phill Edwards]

Aussies
I've written a couple of harvesters that can be used with MythStream
to get on demand video content from ABC Australia. You can get them
from http://www.oaklands.aust.com/mythtv/abc.zip

One is for Health Minutes (abchealth.pl).

The other is for a whole range of content (abcvidz.pl) inculding:
broadbandnews, sport, weather, 7.30, rural, broadbandrage, nibs,
newinventors, broadbandmediawatch, lateline, insiders, insidebusiness,
hemispheres, health, dig, chaser, business, btn, australiawide,
atthemovies.

They both use the perl module LWP::Simple so you'll need to make sure
that's installed.

Put them in your MythStream parser directory (in my case that's
/home/mythtv/.mythtv/mythstream/parsers) and make them executable.
Then add these lines to your streams.res file:

Hope someone finds these useful. I find it great for getting news on demand.
