- eases off the workload for skinners (only one skin for all sites)
- makes it easy for developers to create and maintain a site
- provides a unified user experience for browsing online video content from any website
Download
The current version was developed and tested with MediaPortal 1.16.0. You can also find OnlineVideos in the MediaPortal Extension Installer linked on the Desktop or Startmenu.
Linked by the installer package are:
- LAV Filters - they provide the easiest, most complete and contained way to get all the different formats to play that websites use for their videos.
- Extensions plugin - which allow configuration of almost all OnlineVideos Settings directly inside MediaPortal.
- MediaPortal IPTV filter and url source splitter - With great thanks to georgius we have a custom directshow source filter that supports connection via RTMP, HLS/HDS and improves http connections by supporting ranges for seeking into unbuffered areas files.
Bugreports
