Internet Video Stream

daveyb · 2005-04-04, 17:54

Hello

I have both meida portal and mediacenter 2005. Mediaportal seems to be much better than mediacenter except for a few things. Firstly the skins in mediaportal (although very good) are not quite as slick as the media center graphics and animations.

The other thing that i think mediaportal lacks is the internet video streams that media center offers. I have found that i can get bbc news video streams using "my radio"

this is pretty good appart from the fact that you have to go to "my radio" and then select the stream, and more importantly the video only fills up a small box on the screen in full screen mode. So here is my suggestion / request.

Would it be possible to incorporate a copy of "my radio" in "my news". This could then have the video streaming in the relatively small window, with the rss text around the video somewhere. What do you think?

It would be a better idea of having the streaming video under "My TV"... it's more logical that way... :-)

Is there a way to do this today?
Can one play a video asx stream in mediaportal?

God damn, You got an accidental "Thank You"

Well, hope IPTV and VOD-streams will be available eventually. Many requests for this...
