Hi offbyone!
Any news about a new installer for current SVN?
Best regards
Helios
Yes I know, and that is true. But I am not in the mood to create yet another installer ... Maybe tomorrow

Hi everybody,
I would add proxy to another site that is not BBC but I see that the "Proxy" option is visible only for "BBC iPlyer" Site Name.
How can I add proxy address to ohters existing sites?
Thank you in advance.
Bye

You can't. It's something the creator of the site needs to do.

Hi Offbyone & Duskabouter & others.
This thread have almost reached 250 pages! Very impressive
Together with a "Support for a site request" Onlinevideos exceeds more than 310 pages!
Many of the questions you get, are the same - Especially sites not working, Feature or Site requests.
Are you planning a more structured way to address this in the future? - (Aren't you tired of answering the same questions over and over?)
-Updating the FAQ - Have not been updated for 8 months - Maybe many of the same questions can be answered through the FAQ
-Geo blocked sites - Many sites are restricted to specific countries/IP-ranges (BBC, ITV, DR.DK) - Is it possible to "mark" a site as Geo blocked by icon or mention this in description in a future release.
-Site requests - Why not make use of the perfect star rating issue tool in Google Code? When a site request is created on google code Issues, the Mediaportal community can rate the site - that way developers and other code contributors can easily see, which sites are most demanded - Furthermore, it is possible to maintain the specific site history for reference and future support.
-Feature requests - Do you have all feature requests registret some where and maybe a roadmap for future releases?
-Development on Site Parser - From my point of view, site parsing is very difficult....too difficult, and I'm sure I speak for most users - Please help us developing sites or ease up the procedure for site parsing - More generic site parsers(Flash sites especially) Probably impossible to do and I know you already help out a lot on this - but seems like "Support for Site request" demands are overwhelming.
More developers - Online media will bring Mediaportal 1+2 to the next level when competing with other Media center software - but it requires a lot of development and coding - Why not ask for more developers in the community to speed up things?
I'm happy to assist in any way if needed - Especially with coordinating Site Requests and priority on Google Code or similar.
Great work guys - Keep up the good work

Geo blocked sites
As this is a community driven project, I don't have personal control over this, but site creators are encouraged to put the info about geoblocking into the site description (I did it for e.g. BBC iPlayer)
More developers
I will NOT go out and actively search developers. This IS an open source project and everyone is welcome to contribute! If any dev wants to create sites or features he is welcome (some have done so in the past already). But I cannot affort to spend my time looking for devs - which is not very usefull anyways - the willingness to contribute must be self-driven on spare time projects.
Site requests
In my opinion this thread is giving a wrong impression to people out there that the devs will jump on their "requests". This is NOT gonna happen. User can collaborate on websites they would like to see supported, but it does not mean that we WILL add those sites. Same principle as before applies: as we aren't getting paid here but use our spare time, we will mostly add sites that we like as well (some exceptions ofc). Adding a site ALSO means to keep track of the websites changes over time, so the more sites the more work. Therefore my principle is NOT to add every possible site, but rather a few GOOD ones with lot's of content. This is why I will NOT keep track of a "wishlist" - everyone is welcome to either create and maintain a site or find a dev to do it for him.
Site Parser
As you have noticed, adding new sites is NOT without work, and if it were THAT easy we would already have found a way I guess and many more tools like OnlineVideos would exist. The real world web is in no way uniform - so we cannot provide a simple way that every person on the planet can use. You are looking for the magic bullet here I'm sure with enough time and money one could develop something usefull.
I am not trying to dismiss all your very nice ideas! I am just trying to make you understand that this is a spare time project and it follows different rules. It needs more contribution by the users to grow. Asking for things to happen will not make them happen To quote someone here: "Just do it..."
