I use the livepause plugin with atsc. It can use vlc, xine, or mplayer for display. I run a script to cycle and dump xmltv data from dvbstreamer. If only all the local stations actually broadcast the data. btw atsc epg data is only supportted by myth and dvbstreamer the last I checked. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge > Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes > Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world > http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ > _______________________________________________ > Freevo-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Freevo-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users
