Make your own BTV Link client!!! is it possible?

[DTN]

I was playing around with the web interface to access BTV files from XBMC. I think I may have found out a way to get streaming to work, but it will require a script and I cannot figure it out.

First off, accessing the library
http://192.168.1.100:8129/Library.aspx
This will send this to you
pastebin - collaborative debugging tool
If you look near the top of the file you will see the entire library.

Here's one of the files:
C%3a\Documents+and+Settings\All+Users\Documents\Sn apStream\Beyond+TV\shows\Battlestar+Galactica-(Islanded+in+a+Stream+of+Stars)-2009-03-06-0.mpg


If you copy and paste that into /download.aspx?show= like:

http://192.168.1.100:8129/download.aspx?show=C%3a\Documents+and+Settings\All+Users\Documents\SnapStream\Beyond+TV\shows\Battlestar+Galactica-(Islanded+in+a+Stream+of+Stars)-2009-03-06-0.mpg

The server then sends the entire file to you.

The thing that needs to happen is for a program to sort out all the rest of the BS and put it into a easily accessed format.

According to the docs for the the BTV SDK, you could use the SDK to "roll your own" Link client... if you really, really wanted to.

Ok, I was playing with XBMC but it had issues with H.264 HD PVR BTV recordings, format issue I think, although I have not tried renaming the files as ts if that makes a difference. Try those?

^^ I don't understand what you are saying.

Have you tried playing H.264 files in xbmc that were recorded in BTV recorded with the HD PVR? Last time I tried, xbmc had issues with them on a machine that link played flawlessly.
