Ideas for new Channels

Iplayer works well in tunerfreemce and a dedicated wmc plugin that I think May have since passed on, so I would think it's actually quite easy

PlayOn.  I have a love/hate relationship with it, but it does work.

So, channels have shown up on my MBC. Cool, this could be the beginning of a whole new area for MB3.

 

This is going to sound like a wish list, however if there's anything I can do to move these forward I'll do it.

 

Online services

- BBC Iplayer

- Hulu

- Netflix

- 4OD

- TV Catchup

 

I also remember a rather fine idea called TunerFree MCE. I did look into that but It didn't work well on extenders. How about bringing that into the MB3 channels world?

 

How about Spotify, Google Play Music.

 

It would be lovely to see these things. Any thoughts on how?

How is really the question for a lot of those suggestions. Many of those companies don't have APIs that can be used to get the content. Netflix won't be happening unless MB3 gets so big that they decide to develop a channel for it (we can hope/wish).

 

I don't know for certain but I suspect that Hulu and BBC iPlayer are going to be in similar boats.

Netflix and hulu are no go. ITV player is nearly done just waiting to fix issues with MB core and the way they stream there videos so shouldn't be long. :)

 

BBC iPlayer I started work on other day :) these two plugins are quiet time intensive plugins as there's lots of parts :)

Unfortunately, Netflix and Hulu will probably never happen.  A lot of others can though.

All the ones I think I want can't happen either :( Maybe I'll get introduced to something new tho :)

 

Just in case:

MLB

Crunchyroll

HBO Go

NBC Sports Extra

Espn would be a nice addition also lol, but like most others probably won't.

ROFL, I said they wouldn't happen. Just a wish list.

 

But yea, the problem is that these companies are pretty protective of their content. Especially those with complications with licensing content from other parties (Hulu, Crunchyroll, etc.)

 

I don't think it's worth their time to create a public API when they can avoid a lot of problems by just creating apps for the most popular platforms.

 

 

.... SOooooooo.... The real solution is to become the MOST popular platform !!! haha

if you get a chance, could you please have a look at the Australian ABC iView as a channel? If it helps, I found and open source android app called aview that uses it (github link). 

 

Edit: Found another link from a Plex Plugin

I thought it was just me, pretty basic layout too. And only catchup TV, will the channel your developing do live streams? I think it's possible for the bbc one (going by the xbmc plugin) but not sure on ITV.

I'm loving the channels. Great the way they are 'just there' in MBC next to my local stuff. If we get to a stage where BBC, ITV, 4OD and Demand5 are all there then  :D

 

Good Luck!

Is there a Youtube plugin yet?

 

No.  We are continuing to look into it but, in the past both downloading YT content and playing it in any player other than their own were strictly forbidden.
