Ok for faster channel changing, I cannot add Skip- and Skip+ from python. It is not yet possible in XBMC without using C++, which I don't really want to do yet (much more time needed than python I find). Anyway, I was checking out to see if I could do a "live" change of channel, so while the stream was going. Here is what I tried:

[code]
TVServerXBMC:0-1
Protocol-Accept:1
ListGroups:
Ten,SBS,ABC,Nine,Seven
ListChannels:Seven
417%3B7%20HD%20Digital,414%3B7%20Digital%201,415%3B7%20Digital%202,416%3B7%20Digital%203,418%3B7%20Guide,413%3B7%20Digital
TimeshiftChannel:417
rtsp://home/stream5.0
ListGroups:
Ten,SBS,ABC,Nine,Seven
ListChannels:Ten
448%3BTEN%20HD,450%3BTEN%20HD%20(1),449%3BTEN%20Digital
TimeshiftChannel:449
rtsp://home/stream5.0
[/code]

After the first timeshift, I open VLC to open that stream. The stream plays back channel 7 fine. Now after the second timeshift, the VLC stream just pauses. It does *not* show the channel stuff until I close and reopen the stream.

I am wondering if there is anyway for the stream to change channels and still work without having to close it. That would make channel switching a lot faster I think. I could then work on making skip+ / skip- work and it'll be much faster than closing and reopening.
