Hello, python-list members!
This is my first post. I have created 'leetv', a Python application.
You can find it at:
https://github.com/oregonjim/leetv
There are several 'firsts' here (besides my first post...). This is my
first time using Github. This is my first major Python effort, though I
have been a C/C++/Asm/Embedded developer for several decades. As a
result, I'm sure the code is more C-onic than Pythonic at this point.
This is a project that I've wanted to do for a long time, as well as
learn Python, so I combined the two.
Here is a short excerpt from the README:
---
Do you have a large collection of TV shows stored on a hard drive
somewhere? Have you spent weeks (or months) ripping all your TV and
movie DVDs to media files? Have you ever wanted a program that could
take your entire collection and just play it according to a daily
schedule, all day long, every day (like a real TV station does), without
requiring you to do anything beyond the initial schedule programming? Do
you wish you could choose your OWN commercials to play between shows
(perhaps some memorable favorites from your childhood, or maybe a few of
those SuperBowl halftime legends) rather than watch the drivel that
plagues today's television? Want to get rid of Cable because you
realized that you're paying for 1000 channels worth of stuff that
doesn't interest you?
That's what LeeTV is for. It's a set-it-and-forget-it application that
turns an unused computer into an always on, always playing personal TV
station - one that plays the content YOU want.
My own setup has been running continuously for months now. It requires
nothing of me. I will occasionally ssh into my LeeTV box to change a
schedule, or to add a few more commercials that I found on YouTube, but
that's it. I don't even have to stop or restart anything. It works so
well that I added a wireless HDMI transmitter so that the signal is
available on any TV in the house!
