I'd be very interested to hear your results, and at the same time I thought I should mention a related idea that could be helpful. There's a guy who has made a script that allows you to mount the shows from URL:http://www1.nrk.no/nett-tv as a filesystem, where each show is made available as an ASX playlist. URL:http://blog.knuthaugen.no/2009/09/a-screenscraping-filesystem-for-accessing-media-archive.html I've been trying to use this to get access to the NRK shows, but so far I have failed for some reason or other... :) -- Morten Lied Johansen Computers are not intelligent.

morte...@ifi.uio.no said: Interesting idea. I'd be very interested to hear your results, Well, so far all diappointments come from freevo, I'm sorry to say. I decided to go wmv, after having googled up a solution (there is a -playlist uri way to start mplayer which fixes the looping). On the freevo side, however, I'm unable to find a way to tell it to add -playlist at the last argument before the uri in the mplayer command line. There is something called playlists/ referred to in various freevo howtos, but they all differ in the exact format to use in the fxd. To make matters even more confused, the video/plugins/mplayer.py file has handling for something called playlists in fxds, _but_ its implementation is a -playlist argument in the middle of the mplayer command line (and that makes mplayer error out). I'm currently at a loss for understanding the fxd format (is there an authoritative DTD somewhere? All I've found is fragments). Judging from the source, I'm inclined to believe that asx playlist handling (i.e. -playlist uri) is unsupported by freevo. I just might end up hacking the source to add this feature myself one day. The actual screen scraping of the site is done. I have 3 10-line perl scripts which creates ~500 fxd files. I just need to convince freevo to do the right thing with the fxds. -Anders -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
