Hello, python-list members!
This is my first post. I have created 'leetv', a Python application. You can
find it at:
https://github.com/oregonjim/leetv
There are several 'firsts' here (besides my first post...). This is my
first time using Github. This is my first major Python effort, though I
have been a C/C++/Asm/Embedded developer for several decades. As a result,
I'm sure the code is more C-onic than Pythonic at this point. This is a
project that I've wanted to do for a long time, as well as learn Python, so
I combined the two.
Here is a short excerpt from the README:
---
Do you have a large collection of TV shows stored on a hard drive somewhere?
Have you spent weeks (or months) ripping all your TV and movie DVDs to media
files? Have you ever wanted a program that could take your entire collection
and just play it according to a daily schedule, all day long, every day
(like a real TV station does), without requiring you to do anything beyond
the initial schedule programming? Do you wish you could choose your OWN
commercials to play between shows (perhaps some memorable favorites from
your childhood, or maybe a few of those SuperBowl halftime legends) rather
than watch the drivel that plagues today's television? Want to get rid of
Cable because you realized that you're paying for 1000 channels worth of
stuff that doesn't interest you?
That's what LeeTV is for. It's a set-it-and-forget-it application that turns
an unused computer into an always on, always playing personal TV station -
one that plays the content YOU want.
My own setup has been running continuously for months now. It requires
nothing of me. I will occasionally ssh into my LeeTV box to change a
schedule, or to add a few more commercials that I found on YouTube, but
that's it. I don't even have to stop or restart anything. It works so well
that I added a wireless HDMI transmitter so that the signal is available on
any TV in the house!

Thanks for reading,
