So to play on Freevo side I'd like to start with two specific things and I would be more than happy if one can show me where to start ( I bet this is already coded somewhere in plugins): - core code for Freevo plugin that listens to TCP port or in another case to act as xmlrpc client - all this with possibility to somehow enter received data into structure that is accessible from other plugins...
For xmlrpc server look in src/helpers/recordserver.py, xmlrpc methods begin with xmlrpc_. You may or may not want to use Twisted (www.twistedmatrix.com) for the server part but there may be some helpful docs on their site, check python.org as well.
For xmlrpc client code check out src/tv/record_client.py.
- core code to built menu under Freevo - maybe it would be most convenient and general way to define some xml file structure to define menus with actions in casual file and then Freevo adds them to menu structure. Misterhouse already has this and those menus can be used on Web, Wap, LCD, voice menus and other interfaces - all from one source file... In this way we could also give users possibility for easier addition/customization of Freevo to specific menus (without Python coding). In my case that xml file could be transferred over tcp, or xmlrpc or shared across network...
Look for the plugin tutorial / docs here, I think you need a MainMenuPlugin here.
And Rob, since you are making effort in Video groups direction. One interesting idea (at least I think so) would be to incorporate videlan client into this story. Simple video on demand scheme could be implemented. For instance: I have 2 webcams and one TV card in house and multiple instances of vlc can do live encoding and broadcasting of video stream - clients (Freevo) can just switch to this stream as "normal" channel. This
Great idea! I will have to take a look at videolan.
