By the way, MythStream already support podcast feed downloading and playing within mythtv. http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~moongies/streamtuned.html But... what kind of 'podcasts' would the *average* PVR user really want to listen to? I've read some sites talking about "the future" of watching TV remotely with friends and family, but I can't see how time shifting and local differences in broadcasts and commerical timing would ever make this useful. Then, I thought about, "what about a MST3K type 'directors' narration' by random users?" Would I fire up audio commentary from some random person while I watch TV? Probably not. A friend/family member/celebrity? Maybe... but the again, there are the issues of audio mixing and recording and audio time sync. How do you sync audio to a mythtv recording that could have started sooner or later, or been transcoded/cut? Seems nearly impossible to easily sync up to me (but I welcome anyone to prove me otherwise :). So, that leaves me with "brief audio reviews" of episodes or movies. I *WOULD* be interested in having the option to listen to selections of 30 to 60 seconds of downloadable audio review and be willing to rate the review with the 0-9 buttons on the remote during the review, and I *might* be willing to submit my own audio review after watching shows if a MIC was handy... -Ross _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
