Used PupTV as included with upup-463. Like it, but would you please have it default to gxine, and windowed screen (rather than full screen w/o controls) with controls? Also, a couple channels had sound only (?) and one had nothing. Could you make it post a warning if the channel was empty or sound only?

Any reason it could not be readily able to handle a webcam?

Thanks,
BS

Edit: I reversed the order of Gxine and Mplayer in <notebook> and eliminated the -fs options in the channel scripts. Now PupTV behaves pretty much as I like it. Just waiting for more channels now.

Thanks again.

Many tv stations listed at this site: mostly mms.

Here's a way to watch mms streams with firefox or seamonkey.
It works with both xine and gxine; haven't tried others yet.

(1.) Open Firefox, type "about:config" (no quotes) in the address window, and click enter.
(2.) Right click on the window and choose <New>, then <String> from the pop-up menu that appears.
(3.) In the first pop-up box, enter: "network.protocol-handler.app.mms" (no quotes, and it might just be easier to cut 'n paste this into the box).
(4.) In the next pop-up box enter the path to Kaffeine (e.g. "/usr/bin/kaffeine").
(5.) Now, click in the main window again but choose <New> <Boolean>
(6.) In the first pop-up box, enter: "network.protocol-handler.external.mms"
(7.) In the second pop-up select <True>.

In step 4. just change path to gxine or xine; whichever you have.

I`m really bummed that FoxJapan has been down, I got REALLY attached to it.....
I have lots of "One timers", (some in parts), but full time streams are hard to get..I`m going thru all the ones posted and sent to me, for an update..

P.S. Gxine 5.11 and Firefox 2.0 series with the Gxine plugin work perfectly for these streams....
Here is a great source of stuff, NOVA Science Now:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/programs/int_anth.html
A lot of the mms addresses are listed on the TV Channels thread...
But with the above configuration, in PAW, they open full screen in the Gxine plugin...

Seriously, if you use Gxine, go to 5.11.....
It works much better for me, and for PupTV...

And remember, the Mplayer-SVN-4.2.2 pet I posted is just for PupTV, and has no GUI..However, it works splendidly from the CLI...

I compiled this little stream sniffer, basically run it via the menu, It was original a CLI but I gave it a basic launch/background so that its easly launched.
step one open it --. /Menu/Internet/Online Media Sniffer
next go to a website and play a movie url, etc, it also works on Puptv, if you play a station it will list the url. Doesn't work right for youtube but thats not regular stream, anyways once rxvt opens you'll see the stream location at that point
hold your left click mouse button down and hightlite the stream from start to finish, then push your middle button it will copy and paste it, next open up a text document and middle click again, and it should paste, might take you once or twice. But thats it. Then you can right click and do the proper copy and paste and past it on here.
