I have designed a simple but pretty looking widget for MAC which uses vlc to playback freeview (DTT).<br><br>Thought some of you people might be interested.<br><br>Screen Shot:<br><a href="http://www.zepler.tv/software/vlc-widget.png">
http://www.zepler.tv/software/vlc-widget.png</a><br><br>It does everything featured bar interactivity (which obviously vlc doesn't support)<br><br>Source code can also be downloaded, to make it work you will have to provide it an ajax service (xml) which tells it the channel name,number and address.
<br>Basically design your own version of <a href="http://www.zepler.tv/chan.php">www.zepler.tv/chan.php</a> (which can be found in the ecstv.html source code file) <br><br>chan.php should return well formatted xml results in the following format:
<br><channel><br><chan_no>80</chan_no><br><chan_address>protocol://location.of.stream.com:1234</chan_address><br><chan_name>Test Chan</chan_name><br></channel><br><br>Source Code @
<a href="http://www.zepler.tv/software/ecstv.wdgt.zip">http://www.zepler.tv/software/ecstv.wdgt.zip</a><br><br>No freeview will not work where you are, as it would be illegal to distribute this worldwide :P<br><br>Anyway i've only wasted my time if it is useful to no one.
