DISAFAN, Nick Rout,
You both bring up some good points. Here are my own views but in the
end it is always a matter of choice.
1. The use of trunk was necessary to achieve the level of integration
that I wanted. I would also rather develop a script that supports
the future features of MythTV like Storage Groups then leave those
features out and require a re-write latter on. I do not believe
that the release of trunk (0,22) is so far off to invalidate this
project.
2. *You have already mentioned a tighter integration with the new
MythTV user interface. In general Miro Bridge acts more like a
recording device then a video RSS feed. In itself that may or may
not be important to you.*
3. The Miro GUI is more sophisticated then any command line utility
could be, allowing for more control over your feeds.
4. The Miro GUI provides a large search-able gallery of free legal
Video sources that are easier to find and select then hunting the
Internet yourself. That just means that through Miro there is a
lower entry point for people finding powerful valuable content
like "TedTalks".
5. As long as Miro continues as a development project they will be
the ones maintaining the multiple methods to detect and download
audio and video content from the Internet. I like the idea of
harnessing their development team's effort in the service of
MythTV. MythTV developers can concentration on other things.
6. Miro is becoming more popular all the time so this project serves
those individuals that like what Miro provides but want to view
all their videos through MythTV.
I appreciate your input.
Doug
