[mythtv-users] On-Demand TV

[Ian Jackson]

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I do the same the same sort of thing with azeures. It works great, but not terribly "girlfriend" friendly. It's easy to kludge together applications to download and use rss feeds. However most solutions I have seen (or use) are not remote friendly. They do not have a mythfront end. When you think of on-demand service, (or say, Mythvideo) it's remote friendly. I suppose what I'm thinking of is a front-end like Mythvideo, tied to a back that can be configured for any number of services or providers (sort of like XML-TV). 

Ian

A hack isn't necessary.  Just download the content to your video
directory for MythVideo.  In the case of video podcasts in iTunes,
I've got my mac's podcast directory network mounted to my Myth box and
fully playable under MythVideo using xine.
