MichaelPr had written me an email and made me aware of this thread. Some time ago I had already started to work on the topic "automagic program overview of tvheadend in Squeezebox". My result is a perl script which runs as CGI in an apache webserver. It calls the API of tvheadend and returns an opml file, incl. corresponding links to the station icons (https://github.com/carsten-gross/lms-dvb-radio-helper, description on http://www.siski.de/~carsten/radio-streaming-squeezebox.html). I read all programs tagged as "radio" and support exactly one hierarchy level of "tags", so the countless radio programs on Astra 19.2E or Hotbird 13E are mostly separated by country or language region quite sensibly. My program ts2shout ( https://github.com/carsten-gross/ts2shout) is "next to it", it can convert a MPEG-TS stream into Shoutcast, depending on the call parameters either the EPG or RDS (only in MPEG1/2) is used to pack song titles or broadcast information into the stream. As an almost classic Unix filter it only has to be called appropriately and then passes the request via environment variables configurable to tvheadend. Through Shoutcast you have music track information etc. in the squeezebox. In the last days I added some HE-AAC extensions to ts2shout, since recently the NDR broadcasts radio programs in northern Germany via DVB-T in this format (also all Persian programs from Iran on Hotbird 13E are encoded in HE-AACv2 / AAC+). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ siski's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49224 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110619 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
