[mythtv-users] MythNetvision and WMV

[Doug Vaughan]

Rick,
     Here are a few comments:
1) If a tag is going to have no data then do not include the tag at all. 
In the case of author just hard code "<author>HirTV</author>".
2) The description you have should be text about the news story although 
the URL you have does no harm either way,
3) The "<link>" URL should be to the Web page for that specific News 
video. It is likely that MythBrowser tries to process the 
"http://www.hirtv.hu/filmek/hirado21/hirado20100613.wmv" but is not 
capable of direct playback. You cannot always assume MythBrowser will 
play everything a alternate browser (e.g. Firefox) can play back. All 
"links" are processed by MythBrowser. The Internal player is not used 
directly by Netvision.
4) Leave your "media:content" URL as it is now. With the Link changed to 
a web page and the "media:content" URL being a file link MNV will know 
that the video can be downloadable and reflect that in its menu for this 
item. Once downloaded the wmv file can be played by any capable video 
player.
5) For the thumbnail either set the link to your grabber icon for 
example "%SHAREDIR%/mythnetvision/icons/bbciplayer.jpg" is for the BBC 
iPlayer icon OR set the URL to the logo on the HirTV web site. It will 
looks better. The "%SHAREDIR%" will be dynamically resolved by Netvision 
at display time. You would of course need to create an icon for your 
grabbers. A base icon is provided in trunk and can be edited with 
inkscape. See 
"mythtv/mythplugins/mythnetvision/mythnetvision/icons/mnv_button.svg".

In a reply please include the URL (web site or RSS feed) which you are 
using to create your item data. I may have additional comments in 
regards to your questions about "wmv" playback.
