TV Framework - Bartsidee TV Framework App

[fperrotta]

If i add this repo now will it work??

[bartsidee]

The repo will work if you add it, but the framework app is still not included. You have to wait a few days till it is released. I will post it in the forum when ready.

bartsidee,

Please have a look at Navi-X and the navi-xtreme (http://navix.turner3d.net/)

From a quick read of the OP, it sounds like you are replicating the functionality they have.

[bartsidee]

I'm familiar with navi-x.

My framework is slightly different as it is more focused on tvplayback especially episodes. An example of the intended sources are bbc itvplayer, hulu etc

The main functions is also to dynamically search these streaming sources instead of opening them from static lists. Of course static streaming sources like livetv channels are also supported but are more an addition.

Also another preference is that it is natively build for boxee.

[shadowmelded]

The app supports all file formats boxee does. In essence the framework just passes the url path to boxee when playback starts

I've been looking into flash and was able to include the flash page from local source, but I haven't looked very well into the javascript controls. I will be keen to have a look at your page containging flowplayer and the control js if you agree. Do you have a url?

I will launch the framework probably somewhere next week. Also I will try to release some api documents for the modules so others can start developing it.

At the moment it has mostly dutch channels, but after that I will try to focus on adding:
bbc itvplayer
swedish channels

and more

Il give you a pm later tonight. Going out to the pub now.
have you considerd putting youre app on github or a git repository.

Initial beta released today:
You can find it at the repo boxee.bartsidee.nl

For api details I'm building a api document on
http://www.bartsidee.nl/api/
Still under construction so this is not complete yet

The app is still pretty beta, but was stable on my windows boxee, I have to do some more debugging on the box. You are free to try it out, current apps are mainly dutch channels, but I also included youtube.

Hi,

I made some quick testing of your app. So far I only tested it on my PC/W7. It worked. Best was that you can watch the live broadcasts aswell.

I have not tested it on the Boxee Box yet, but I will do. I would prefare a different kind of programlist where you can find your program by only using the "simple" side of the remote.

But in total it looks very promising!

[bartsidee]

I would agree that using the simple side of the remote is best. You must know I just made the svt module i only 20 minutes with my api, there are expendable options available for the framework. (Like genre browsing) Also you can access a static list of the streams if you go to the svt module in the app.

For future releases I'm trying to integrate a search history list, would lower the need for the keyboard use.

For now I'm trying to first iron out possible bugs.

I am not a programmer or very good at this but in the modules is there ways of adding networks (ex I am in canada so Global tv, CBC, Ctv, etc). Do you know if anyone will add stuff like this to your app.

[bartsidee]

It is easy to write an app for the module, although you have to know a little bit about python and html.

The entire setup for this app is so I will be able to add more channels by other developers. As I don’t time do it always myself. I just created a bbc iplayer module this afternoon. Actually in about 30 minutes.

The only thing what a module does is scraping the correct code from a website and delivering it in the right format to the main app.

There would be no problem adding more from Canada or any other channel.
I just started on documenting the api that I created. You can find it at www.bartsidee.nl/api
(is in english)

For anyone interested you can just develop and debug the module on your home computer and send it to by mail so I can add it to the main app.
