Comment on iView for XBMC plugin v0.2 by Ranga

@ James

Very unlikely - too much effort.

But it may be possible to use DLNA to stream iView from a PC via a simple interface. IIRC Someone has done this already.

Comment on ABC’s iView on XBMC.. update 2 by Ranga

@Mark

This is because of “SWF Verification”. The official builds of XMBC don’t support it (Adobe don’t like it).

If you use a build of XMBC that has RTMPdump with SWF Verification, a command needs a little extra info added to it.

BTW - iView has changed somewhat so I doubt you can even get the iView lists from V0.3 anymore.

Comment on Automating Debian installs with Preseeding by Ben Last

At NearMap we use preseeding to build our (many many) servers… to avoid hardwiring IPs we allocate them using DHCP (via MAC addresses). Means one preseed can cover all the systems. You should be able to get DHCP to serve virtual systems if your dhcpd listens on the bridge address.

Comment on Using libvirt with Xen on Debian Lenny by Andy Botting

Can’t say I had any network problems in the VM. Does it get an IP address with DHCP, or are you specifiying one manually? Proxy maybe?

Great article! But didn’t you have problems with networking during lenny install on your VM? Mine had problems right after selecting the repository. Do you know how to solve that? Thanks. And Happy New Year!

How plausible would it be to make a plugin to browse the programme list, then communicate to a PC to download the file, then play the file as it downloads. I know the XBox can play files that are downloading on the PC. Although this would require the PC to be on (and probably some sort of app running), it would seem transparent from the XBox end. Probably a lot of work for not much result now that I think about it.

Hi Brett,

Seems that ABC has enabled ‘SWF Verification’. This essentially means that they’ve locked us out. Unless they disable it, my XBMC plugin won’t work longer than about 60 seconds
