Sure. Combine MythTV and XBMC and have it ready by November. :)<br><br>Come to think of it I have been toying with the idea of starting up the TV in Myth, then calling XBMC from a menu option... I haven't really gotten past just thinking about it. I know XBMC can playback Myth Recorded Video, but I have the Wife Acceptance Factor to deal with. For now, she is happy with the Myth UI. We'll see what happens with the new UI in 0.22!<br>
<br>XBMC is open source. If we could get all those features built into Myth, or a Live TV addition to XBMC using the Myth backend... that would be interesting...<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 2, 2009 at 12:43 PM, Adam Glauser <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:adamglauser@gmail.com">adamglauser@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I'm not so sure that Myth does a passable job at internet videos (youtube etc.)<br>

FWIW, XBMC also has trouble with streaming video, and from what I have found, streaming audio too. There are plugins that are supposed to work well, buy my mileage has most certainly varied.<div class="im"><br>

-- I currently torrent and have a half-assed script in writing which automatically adds the completed torrent to myth's recordings, but it's very hackish.<br>

I've found that XBMC excels for this sort of thing. It can generate its library format from a directory using 'grabbers' to get metadata from places like IMDB and TheTVDB. One can also simply navigate a directory structure to view something if it isn't added to the library.<br>

I've got my DNS-323 home NAS set up to watch RSS feeds for podcasts (CBC, TVO, etc.) and for torrents, so I can automatically have my content waiting for me whenever I'm ready to watch it.<br>

Did I just talk myself into a presentation? :)<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>
