Web Browser - TV Tuner Control

[rye_dude]

I’ve had success lately in using VLC to stream out from my TV tuner over the network and viewing the stream via a web browser on another computer (using Mozilla Pluggin) … Pretty cool!!!

I’d like to beef up the web page and add functionality to change the channels. I've gone through the VLC documentation and haven’t found anything to support this remotely through the browser … Any ideas/suggestions?

You could do something using the VLC HTTP interface. It's basically an embed web browser which makes it possible to control VLC remotely. So i guess that you could either use the current HTTP interface pages, or hack your own pages to have a list of links for each TV channel and an embed mozilla plugin in the page.

Thanks for the reply!

Actually, I'm using the HTTP interface to view the stream. I've updated the index.html file ... basically embedded and modified the mozilla plugin examples from the documentation to receive the tv tuner stream through http. I guess what I'm looking for is some direction into controlling the tv tuner through the page. I haven't found any web controls specific to tv cards.
