WorldTV99 upgrade is now available at maemo.org>download>multimedia or at my signiture. If you have prior versions installed, you should be able to get it via, umm.... SSU .

Major change, this time we have a user manual!
Most channels are now full screen, no eye soring black borders, more channels, less dead links. More info from user manual. Comments? Critics? Rottentomatos?

Readme file, the one you are reading 100608

Go maemo.org/download/multimedia to dl/install kmplayer and WorldTV99. You should already have mplayer and media player (osso media server) installed. Kmplayer is a frontend for these two players.

Start kmplayer, WorldTV99 is already loaded and running in WindowScreen mode. WorldTV99 has 2 screen modes, double tap on the video will toggle between FullScreen(FS) and WindowScreen(WS) mode.

Favorite - tap on favorite will open up channels you selected as favorite when in WindowScreen mode. You can edit the title of your favorite channels. Double tap on video toggle between FS and WS mode.

Channels - are alphabetically grouped into countries and subgrouped into each channel; clicked on group folder Canada, will expand into each single channel. All country/channels are arranged alphabetically. Done manually, so there will be a couple notch out of synch

click any channel, it will play. If not playing, go menu>Player>pick the other player, only Osso Media Server or Mplayer are streaming. Always check Use omapfb with MPlayer, it makes video rendering much smooth.

FS mode - double tap on video toggle between FS and WS mode.
tap on right upper corner will turn on a TVmenubar, a blue bar with blue triangles on either ends and a green star on the right side. Tap on either triangles will turn channel up and down, touch the blue bar for selection. Tap on the green star will remember the channel and showed up in the favorite list. Favorite list is on FullScreen mode, double tap video to toggle between FS and WS.

* = top quality
folder = expand to see single channel

DownLoad clips - select a link from the 'feeds' group in favorites by a
single click (ie. select only). Next press the 'save' button (the most
right button). This will open the RSS feed and instead of directly
playing, you get a 'Save as' dialog. Now save it somewhere and wait
until kmplayer finished download. The saved file can be found as first item in the 'Most Recents' list, double click on this, it starts to play locally.

tips

.audio
increase volume: add to the file /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf
softvol=yes
softvol-max=500

.video
When kmplayer is up, menu>Player>enable Use omapfb with MPlayer, that makes mplayer decoding much smooth.

.mplayer has more hardware buttons to inc/dec vol. and has also preconfigured in a lot of channel to make it run at FS, except CBCs. OssoMediaserver runs with 2 black borders.

Bottom line: There are 2 modes, FS and WS modes, 2 players, Osso Media Server and mplayer.

Still no sound for BloombergTV2, USA.

woah, got 1 channel in!
Awesome! thanks for the update!

WorldTV update installed fine, but kmplayer 0.8.7-6 gives "unable to update" message.

"Application packages missing: libhildonfm2 (=1:2.0.5)"

Does kmplayer depend on the last OS2008 Feature Update 4.2008.36-5?

I've yet to install that diablo update...

@heavyt: The channel we have cannot get sound. I am trying to get other source of bloomberg, still work in progress.... sorry about that.

bun

No.

I did not have any problem. Wait for a little while and try again please... sometimes it takes time with devel extra.

bun

@bun: thanks for the update and new channels!!!

I've found some new ones that work!! (This time I have tested them all, some even work on the default media player)


Mexico Travel Channel
http://201.147.20.2/pm/mexicochannel.wmv

Tv UNAM - cultural
http://201.147.20.2/pm/tvunam.wmv

Imagen Informmativa (live) - news
rtsp://148.240.229.63/broadcast/imagentv.rm

Cadena Tres (28 live) - news, sitcoms, series, movies, cartoons.
rtsp://148.240.229.63/broadcast/canal28.rm

Canal Once (live but low quality) - cultural
http://201.116.43.50:8080/ramgen/encoder/once.rm

I got them from here
http://wwitv.com/portal.htm?http://w...vision/136.htm

The best by far is Cadena Tres since it is live and with great content, movies, news, series and good quality!! And it is a major broadcaster here in Mexico.

Hope this time I've been more useful!!

Or add chinook extras to your repository list.
The packages are build using the maemo package builder system. Nothing that a package maintainer can do about that. Actually this might be a candidate for a bug report to the package build system, that it sets the dependency to the latest maintenance versions.

I tried adding "chinook diablo" to the blank Extras' distribution entry and up came half a dozen "updates" to other apps/utils I've already installed, besides the kmplayer 0.8.7-6 I was after.

I sense trouble that shouldn't be necessary...

Anyhow the latest WorldTV update seems to work fine with the previous version of kmplayer.

hello,
