I was playing around with XBMC (Xbox Media Center) on my Xbox, and notice lots of python scripts that allowed me to view streams.
Shoutcast TV, internet TV, anything really.
First thing I decided to do was to find out if XBMC was available for linux,
and it was. So I tried to compiling the source for maemo, but failed.
n800 is not powerful enough to run XBMC.

So since I failed at compiling XBMC(in order to run all those python scripts available) I said f@#! it, why not just try to run the scripts, I could do without installing XBMC (save 100MB+ of space).
I downloaded the YouTube script, and took a look at the default.py, and notice the 2 imports that I knew were going to be a problem from the get go.
import xbmc xbmcgui
All the scripts I took a look at all have that import.
XBMC.py and XBMCGUI.py is installed when XBMC is compiled for linux, so considering it wouldn't compile in scratchbox, well you know the rest.
Now searching online I found that someone had a workaround for this.
but the workaround for the import suck, and doesn't work.

discouraged, but still wanting to view streams on my n800.
I decided to ask around on IRC
went on #xbmc and #xbmc-scripting and ask a little about replacing the import xbmc xbmcgui and also rewriting the gui/controls/actions with pygtk similars and was told it is possible.

so at the bottom are the links to everything that is needed.
The scripts are complete, all that is needed is to modify them to use pygtk or python-hildon gui/controls/actions instead of xbmc xbmcgui.

I know diddly squat (<-- slang for nothing ) about scripting.
but am very hopeful that people who do will take a look at this post and do know there way around python.
Hopefully make some magic happen.

XBMC is available for linux, can give it a go with that and see what i'm talking about with the python scripts being use to do lots of things.

You may be interested in knots, or my own prototypical on-demand transcoding: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ed=1#post79460

knots is defintely more focussed on live TV, although I've not had a chance to test it with my DVB card yet.

Alright. I am looking into releasing a new player for the website with the launch of LiveTV.ws 2.0. It will be supported by the N800, and various other versions.

Thank you,
Donny

I have bookmarked quite a few mms sites on the default media player on my n800. Is there a way to capture/download a live video stream for offline viewing?

Probably mencode would work. It's a second program in the mplayer project; I don't know if serge's builds have it, but I know qwerty12's does.

"mplayer -dumpstream" works in the desktop. It could work in the n800 too.
