Hey guys,

 

I'm considering adding a small bit of functionality here and there, and
before I do I figured the best thing would be to ask you guys to point me in
the right general direction.

 

I want to do 3 or 4 things:

 

1)       Add a menu item when you press "Menu" in Live TV that lets me
switch to any tuner I want instead of having to cycle through them

2)       Perhaps alter the program guide a bit so that if I choose a channel
that is not available on my current source it switches to that source if the
source is not being used or returns appropriate messaging telling the user
that its unavailable.

3)       Add support for transcoding HDTV inputs down to a more reasonable
size.  Currently I'm using firewire to capture it and would like to take the
1920x1440 video down to 1280x720.  However, the transcoding "profiles" only
get to 720x480.

 

Anyway, if some kind soul would point me in the direction of what it might
take or where to begin looking, I'd really appreciate it.

 

-Todd
