The VideoLAN Forums

Hello. I am very impressed with VideoLAN's capabilities and am interested in a PVR project based on VideoLAN. Has anyone started anything like this?

I've looked at Freevo and MythTV, but they all seem to bulky and I don't like their interfaces so I started working on a PVR interface of my own -- one I'd actually like to use. I'm making it in Flash becuase I figured it could easily be laid on top of an existing application like VideoLAN. (There are Flash players for most major platforms that utilize the standard Mozilla plug-in API.) Also, Flash is quick to develop, fairly fast and pretty darn functional.

Would anyone have any interest in this sort of thing? It's still in its early stages, but I think VideoLAN and a slick, intuitive TV-based interface could really be amazing. I'm attaching a screenshot of the guide. (The video isn't real, but everything else is functional... more or less.)

Have you made any progress?

Currently I'm using Freevo (been using MythTV) however the main thing I feel that Freevo lacks (the combination of mplayer and Xine) is the ability to read all the different types of formats that VLC does.

I have also been looking in to NMM (http://www.networkmultimedia.org/), but I haven't had the time to try it yet.

Nice. Got my attention! I'd be interested in something like this. Current mythtv user.

Definetly looks nice yeah.
