A useful plugin, thank you very much!
Once I wrote the following in open-aaf forum
TV - Radio - NetStream
Also erst eine Entschuldigung; Ich weiss nicht besonders gut was die Plugins für steaming Media anbieten. Einige have ich probiert und bin ein bisschen enttäuscht was ich gesehen habe. Ich beschreibe also meinen folgenden Vorslag obwohl er schon veraltet sein könnte.
Der normale Sat Empfänger bietet TV und Radio Sektionen. Ich möchte gerne einen dritten Sektion Namens "NetStream" haben, und zwar mit folgenden Eigenschaften:
* Videobouquets, Radiobouquets
* Kanalliste, Favoritenliste, Genreliste, modifizierbar vom Anwender
* Streamsources Web, local Netzwerk
* normale Timer und Aufnahme Services
* Wiedergabe von Aufnahmen durch einen universalen TV/radio/NetStream Mediaplayer
* mehrere Datenformate, die gewöhnlichsten
* Operation von Kanäle genau gleich wie bei normalen TV und Radiokanälen
* Unterstützung im Webinterface, (Hineinschreiben von eigenen Sources, URLs usw)
Die Bestandteile sind schon da, aber keiner hat sie auf diese Weise in Enigma integriert, so weit ich (weiss?).
Translation
First an apology; I don't know particularly well what the plugins for streaming media provide. Some I've tested (that was before I found tsmedia) and I'm a little bit disappointed with them. Thus I will propose the following eventhough it might be allready outdated.
A normal satreceiver has TV and radio sections. I would like to have a third "netstream" section with the following qualities:
* videobouquets, radiobouquets
* channel lists, favored lists, genre lists, (easily) modifiable by the user
* streamsources web, local network
* the normal timing and recording services
* replay of the recordings through a universal tv/radio/netstream mediaplayer
* support of several codexes, the most popular
* operations on the channels in the same way (the same remote buttons and functions) as the normal tv and radio channels
* support in the webinterface (openwebif or similar), (input of user sources, urls etc)
The various components allready exist, but nobody has yet integrated them in this way as far as I (know?)
Tsmedia goes a long way towards the implementation of the foresaid indeed. But it's still a separate plugin and not integrated in the enigma, and this integration is what I miss.
I see this plugin as a two part structure. First part ist the functionality (playing of streams, choosing channels, channel database operations, etc), and the second part is the channel database itself. Would it be possible or desirable to program the first part, the functionality in some enigma distribution as part and parcel of it and provide the channel database as a plugin?
Or alternatively, to let the plugin to insert the said functionality into enigma and to have it behave as if it were a born part of the base system?
