Good lookin' out, but no joy here either.

Either way, the world will not be right until there is Sling or Hava support for the 900.

Re: So you want to WATCH THOUSANDS OF TV SHOWS on your N900 FREE!?!?!!!!
 
sorry guys . . . after playing with it a little more it seems rather unusable . . . . the first movie will load and play fine but after navigating through the site any loading a second movie all the players that load after the first will be stuck in the loading circle of death . . . :mad:

The only solution is to close all browser windows and start all over again . . .:confused:


Sorry guys I tried . . . Still a great site for the desktop:rolleyes:

Re: So you want to WATCH THOUSANDS OF TV SHOWS on your N900 FREE!?!?!!!!
 
It's a great site for the N900 too. You can suck down the .flv file and play it on the KMPlayer. I tried it and it works pretty well. No need to do any conversion on the files.

By this do you mean that there's a way to grab the .flv on the N900, or were you referring to downloading it on a desktop first and then transferring it over?

I got better results with vlc, but haven't done any real testing.

I have automated the process a bit by creating a simple one-liner script with the following content:

Code:
lynx -source "$1" | grep -o 'http.*flv' | xargs rvlc
I called this script "tvf" and put it in my usual scripts folder.

Now, I can go to the tvforge website and copy the url for the episode and fire up the terminal and paste it as an argument for the script, e.g.

Code:
tvf http://tvgorge.com/shows/desperate-housewives/season-6/you-gotta-get-a-gimmick/
NB: Of course this only works if you have vlc, xargs, and lynx installed.

EDIT: Regarding, lynx, xargs, and vlc, see

http://maemo.org/packages/view/lynx/
http://maemo.org/packages/view/findutils-gnu/
http://www.remlab.net/files/vlc/fremantle/

But keep in mind that this is unofficial (prerelease) software -- especially vlc -- and install on your own risk.

Re: So you want to WATCH THOUSANDS OF TV SHOWS on your N900 FREE!?!?!!!!
 
I'm not quite as handy with scripts and etc. so I by downloading on a PC and move it over. When I get a chance def. going to try the script listed. :-)

That's a cool script. I am not a scripter, but would it be possible to rename the file using the directory structure so that the file becomes (in your example)

desperate-housewives_season-6_you-gotta-get-a-gimmick.flv

automagically? :-D

Thx. Right now the file names are numeric and not useful for sorting. Thanks.

The one-liner I posted above wasn't meant for saving the episodes. It starts streaming them right away. No need to download them first.

duh.. yeah.. don't know what I was thinking. For some reason I was thinking wget. I tried to install lynx and but my install failed. plus I couldn't find it in the app directory. Where is xargs too btw?

They are both in extras-devel, so the usual warnings apply (I haven't encountered any problems with these though). For further information, see:

http://maemo.org/packages/view/lynx/

http://maemo.org/packages/view/findutils-gnu/

For some reason i couldn't get Lynx installed. It complained something about dependencies. I'll figure it out.

Presumably your script should work mplayer too right?

Can you explain how you do that? thanks

It should if you change "rvlc" to "mplayer", but as I mentioned in my first post it didn't seem to stream well (might be a question of configuring mplayer).

The script listed earlier is much more elegant than my brute force method.

Go to the page you want and ^u to see the page source. ^f to search for .flv and then you take the URL and download the file. Once you've downloaded it you can move it over from your pc to your phone.

Kmplayer can play the file directly.

ok one last question then... where did you get vlc from? I didn't find it in the app directory either after enabling extra-testing / extra-devel.

You can find the install instructions here:

http://www.remlab.net/files/vlc/fremantle/

BUT, do read the warnings and install on your own risk!

http://surfthechannel.com works for me.
Use Megavideo links, that's what i use on my PS3. Have not tested other links on N900.

Lots of movies and tv series. :)

TV Gorge looks gorgeous in KMPlayer with mplayer backend. I made a little bookmarklet for easy copy & paste directly from the browser.

Code:
javascript:(function() { prompt("Copy and Paste in your favorite player.", document.getElementById('watchwrap').innerHTML.match(/clip\:\s*{\n\s*url\:\s*'(http.*flv)'\,/)[1]); })()

How do you install and use this bookmarklet thru Microb please ? Thanks in advance for your answer.

Save that as a bookmark and run it on one of tvgorge's episodes.

Bec 2010-02-07 09:50
Re: So you want to WATCH THOUSANDS OF TV SHOWS on your N900 FREE!?!?!!!!
 
Bundyo, this is awesome :)
Do you think you could make something similar for smotri.com?

rcull 2010-02-07 09:51
Re: So you want to WATCH THOUSANDS OF TV SHOWS on your N900 FREE!?!?!!!!
 
To download any flash file from a url edit filologens script to look like:-

Code:
lynx -source "<input url>" | grep -o 'http.*flv' | wget -i - -c -O "<output filename>"
Thats 'space "minus i" space minus space -c space "minus uppercase o" space <filename> '

Replaces rvlc with wget, will only work with the -O if there is only one file. replace with xargs wget if more than one flv on the url.

DISCLAIMER:
Please bear in mind, copyright, you should only use this for free content :)

Re: So you want to WATCH THOUSANDS OF TV SHOWS on your N900 FREE!?!?!!!!
 
So how much of the url does it actually need?
http://smotri.com
http://smotri.com/video/view/?id=
http://smotri.com/video/view/?id=v[some long number]

I guess this would require editing the script every time?

Hmmmmmmmmm.... trying it, pops up with a message to enter the url, so i paste in the tvgorge URL page i am on (with a tv show on it)......

Nothing? - does it do things in the background?

noobmonkey 2010-02-07 10:32
Re: So you want to WATCH THOUSANDS OF TV SHOWS on your N900 FREE!?!?!!!!
 
ignore me!!! :)

The language didnt make much sense to me!

i think is meant is.....
Run the bookmark, then copy the url in the popup box and play it in kmplayer - it will then stream the file :) - works perfectly! :)

Would like to see a download option - similar to the iplayer method :) - can got in xterm and type iplayer <url> and it downloads :)

raily 2010-02-07 10:42
Re: So you want to WATCH THOUSANDS OF TV SHOWS on your N900 FREE!?!?!!!!
 
is there a way to tell mplayer to open the copied url or do i need kmplayer for that?

Wow that is really something . . . but the average user is NOT going to be comfortable doing this . . . . .

I am not as handy with linux scripts as I am with PHP and JavaScript . . . if I was going to do this I would make a java-script bookmarklet to pass the url to a php page that would do the rest . . . no copy and pasting ... no extra packages on your device . . .

My question is are the bookmarklets in MicroB???

Or Mobile FF for that matter???

Re: So you want to WATCH THOUSANDS OF TV SHOWS on your N900 FREE!?!?!!!!
 
I've updated my thread regarding streaming with the latest news on this thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=503229
It explains what Bundyo means by bookmarklet (basically create a bookmark, paste his code as the target and run it while starting a video from tvgorge)

I didn't add the VLC solution yet since vlc seems a little "rough around the edges"...

think you probably can do it prob terminal probably mplay <url> (Just a guess)...

KMplayer is just the graphical viewer front-end.
