Har oppdatert kildekoden slik at håndteringen av rss-feedene ble mye enklere.

Konsekvensen av dette er at det er veldig kjapt å kjøre en sync mot nrk for å få oppdatert programmer/klipp mot den lokale databasen, og dermed videre ut til RSS-feedene.

Alle kategoriene og programmene med RSS-feeds finnes her: http://www.frankburmo.com/nrk/rss/

Eksempel på feed:

Klipplinkene i RSS-feedene linker direkte til videostrømmen slik at feks din DLNA-klient kan bruke den direkte.

Man kan også benytte disse linkene til å se NRK på andre enheter, feks din mobiltelefon:

På PS3 via DLNA:

Her kommer en liten mini-guide på hvordan man kan se NRK Nett-TV på din DLNA-klient (feks PlayStation 3 eller Xbox 360). Jeg benytter Tversity som DLNA-server, men andre servere kan også benyttes.

Hele poenget er at man legger til en RSS-feed i DLNA-serveren din. Etter at du har gjort dette så vil du på en veldig enkel måte kunne streame videoklipp fra denne RSS-feeden.

Her finnes en oversikt over tilgjengelige RSS-feeds fra NRK: http://www.nrk.no/podkast/.

NRK tilbyr ikke RSS-feeds for alt sitt innhold enda, så her har jeg generert endel RSS-feeds ut i fra NRK sine nettsider. Disse finnes det en oversikt over her: http://www.frankburmo.com/nrk/rss/. NB: Denne RSS-listen er ikke komplett enda.

Utklipp av noen av de genererte RSS-feedene:

1: Legg til RSS-feeden i din DLNA-server

2: Starter DLNA-klienten (i mitt tilfelle en PS3) og får opp RSS-feeden på skjermen

3: Avspilling starter. I dette tilfellet blir WMV-formatet transkodet til MPEG2 før overføring til PS3

4: Se streamet video

NOTE: This plugin is currently in early beta-state, it’s not finished.

Open Online Spotlight is a Plugin for MediaPortal that enables you to view NRK WEB-TV in MediaPortal.

Download the plugin here: OpenOnlineSpotlight.zip

Unzip the file into your MediaPortal-folder.

The correct path for the .dll-file is:
\MediaPortal\plugins\Windows\OpenOnlineSpotlight.dll

The correct path for the .xml-file is:
\MediaPortal\skin\BlueTwo\OpenOnlineSpotlight.xml

For now you have to download the program-XML to your PC and unpack the “nrk.xml” to “C:\temp\nrk.xml”. This will be changed in next versions.

Download the program-XML here:

nrk.zip (3 MB)

There is a bug in the list-component, so you just have to click the “View”-button (top-left) a few times until the button says “View: List”

NOTE: .NET Framework 3.5 is required! Download here: microsoft.com

I’ve been in touch with NRK and asked about an API like the one I wrote about a few days ago. They are working on something like this, and they are interested in getting touch with people that can help them discuss/test this API.

So please drop me a line if you are interested in contributing.

I want NRK to make a webservice that gives the users the possiblity to access WEB-TV (Nett-TV) content from any application, not just through the NRK-website.

That way users can search and watch content from any device they want, in the way they want it.

There are several great uses for something like this, an example made by NRK is the plug-in for Windows Media Center Edition, where the users can browse and watch the library of content in an easy to use interface. But this is not accessible from any other application than Windows MCE. This is why NRK should make a public webservice that makes users able implement such features into other applications. One example is the open-source project, MediaPortal.

A webservice that any application can query for content would be great.

NRK themselves are saying that they are saying that they are planning such features, but why not open up to the public, and let the creative minds out there make the most out of it? I think it would be very successful.
The videoformat used by NRK is not an open format (Windows Media), but that is another discussion.

NRK, the ball is in your court.
