[QUOTE="juan pablo, post: 86078, member: 25644"] Vulture, I think this website would work perfectly alonside the wwwitv.com element and within the same plugin. IT would probably be best to rename it something like 'myIPTV'. ViewTv.co.uk is attempting to recreat Satellite TV only via the internet. Proffessional broadcasters stream or relay their channels via this website. The website / service has a given number of available channels rangin from channel 100 upto something like channel 500. The channel numbers are then suubdivided into genres eg: 100-199 = Sport 200-299 = Sales 300-500 = movies etc etc. Now the company actually plans to launch a standalone box to stream these channels over the web much like freeview or satellite and thus will be a very proffessional solution and step forward for IPTV. So if we can get this working in MP it will make MP by far the most powerful HTPC!!!! So this is how it works. If you go to: [url]www.ViewTv.co.uk[/url] you can see a flash animated page with all the channels. Click one and it takes you to a flash player with the given channel played via a flash based version of WinMedia Player and is thus compatible with MP. The only problem is getting direct access to the streams to be included in your plugin. However ive managed to collect and test this info via my firewall logs. So we now have direct access to the streams. So how do we get this info into your plugin? Well i envisage that when a user launches your plugin they are presented with 3 buttons: 1) wwITV.com - Your plugin as it currently stands eg scraped from wwitv.com 2) ViewTv - See below 3) Favourites - A list of manually added user stations. Ok so the ViewTv option will do a screen scrape from [url]http://www.viewtv.co.uk/sitemap/[/url] (html links page) . This will display all currently active channels by number and thus genre, in one list. Or with a little work just showing stations within a given genre. Then when a user selects a station they would be taken to the ViewTv stations flash page on their website which plays the streams (asx file) in a neat flash/wmp player. Now of course we dont want this to happen because we want to remain within MP. So using some regular expressions we simply get the channel number from the screenscrape / id given in the channel link. So for example a user click to view channel 450, we build our own link direct to the stream for channel 450, and thus can display the channel within the plugin directly and via Windows Media Player. I also have the locations for the channel logos as well as the channel listings which are represented as little flash movies. Hope this explains things a little? Please take a look at the ViewTv.co.uk website, and IM me if you want to work together on this. I hope we can make this happen as it will truly make MP the most advanced HTPC around, and will certainly be something to impress your mates with. lol [/QUOTE]
