i've applied the mythtvosd patch ( the callerid thing)
all things work, I don't have a caller id modem, or land line though...
but I would like to use the mythtvosd programm for displaying buddy signons
from gaim .
I used to have a xosd plugin for gaim, but that doesn't work anymore, and my
mythbox runs
on a different box now.
But with the mythtvosd udp system i tought it would be possible to write a
plugin for gaim
that when a buddy signs on, it calls the mythtvosd programm and passes the
buddy name so that it turns up on my tv screen?
i did some searching on the net, and gaim site and found this link:
http://gaim.sourceforge.net/api/perl-howto.html
but as i'm not a programmer i have no idea where to start.
can someone give me some pointers on where to start ?
kind regards,
Koen
