Hi all, I've been playing quite excitedly with videolan client, my thought pattern went thus;
1) Wouldn't it be cool if I could watch TV on my mac through WiFi 2) WOW, if I'm streaming network video I can pause/rewind it just like web radio 3) OMFGG, if freevo had a TV player interface to a vlc streaming server running then I could pause/rewind TV in freevo Now I've been hacking around with this for hours now, most of the weekend in fact, I've managed to get video streaming to my mac, but the audio is causing a major headache, I take video from the composite input which comes out of my pace cable box, I take audio from the line input but it doesn't want to stream?! I can pause/rewind the video over the network stream, I'm busy rebuilding vlc without a gui so I can run it without it appearing over the top of freevo. So I've put a lot of the testing stuff in place, what I wanted to know is whether or not anyone has ever tried this? Or if someone with the python knowledge wouldn't mind working with me a bit to get a freevo plugin working? I think the there are the following requirements, * A VLC (running as a client) plugin for TV input * A remote interface so the play/pause/rewind/fast forward buttons work on tv * A method of changing channels ?! v4lctl/lirc-send/network somehow for situations where the TV receiver is in another machine or viewer is remote via network It would probably be best to have a tcp server app for receiving the channel change commands and then acting on them, my reasoning for this is when you have a streaming video server there is no sense in closing off the channel change function to the network.
