Tvu player plugin? (1 Viewer)

[jonas.s]

A plugin for http://www.tvunetworks.com/, dose it exist?
If not, anyone working on one?

http://www.tvunetworks.com/ is a great free service that allows you to se channels like FOX, NBC and Comedy Central online! I would be great if was accessable via MP.

Probably not;

The TVU service will premiere later this year.

You mean that the service will not be free later this year?

Because im watching Comedy Central atm.

Its currently a plugin using the website wwitv.com but is expanding to hopefully include things like the website you mention.

well, two years later and it's still free. No plugins? IPTV is the wave of the future, but this would be sweet.

Definitely would be cool.

TVUPlayer is always streaming on port 8901 whilst the program is running. When you open the video window it basically streams from localhost. What is required is a way to get MP to control the TVUPlayer channel selection.


Once a channel is selected in TVUPlayer I have a playlist in a movie folder that points to the PC running TVUPlayer(could use the same PC and then connect to http://localhost:8901). This allows me to watch the stream on my main HTPC if required.

Filename: _TVUPLayer.asx
(The underscore is to place the file at the top of the list when browsing by "shares")

File contents:
http://pcname:8901

Nice workaround! I'll have to play with this. Are the TVU channels separate streams with their own URL? If so, I'd imagine coding a plugin would be really easy.

TVUPlayer uses Peer to peer file transferring (like bit torrent), so it isnt as simple as connecting to a URL for each channel. You need to have the TVU app running and you connect to it.

TVUPlayer now also includes links to some more traditional streaming sites that you can connect to with any program. Some of these could be used the same way I am connecting to the main TVU program. That is you would make a playlist file for each site and put the url inside it. From memory there was talk of including this sort of functionally in MP's TV module. That is, instead for a channels frequency etc, you assign a url.

If only it was open source. Do we know if the TVU Player only has one WindowClass or does the actual stream have a different one from the main body? We could at least easily grab that, give it focus and fullscreen it.
