2 feature request for canola:

i am currently using canola as streaming client for my vdr. This vdr serves the live-tv channels on the fly via an externalmux script as divx avi 400x240.

The streamdev vdr-plugin server generates a .m3u channels list of the format:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0,1 arte
http://<vdr-ip>:3000/Extern/S19.2E-1-1051-28724
#EXTINF:0,2 Phoenix
http://<vdr-ip>:3000/Extern/S19.2E-1-1051-28725
#EXTINF:0,3 Das Erste
http://<vdr-ip>:3000/Extern/S19.2E-1-1101-28106
#EXTINF:0,4 ZDF
http://<vdr-ip>:3000/Extern/S19.2E-1-1079-28006
#EXTINF:0,5 3sat
http://<vdr-ip>:3000/Extern/S19.2E-1-1079-28007
canola opens the list good as "Internet Radio URL" and mlayer displays the channel 1a, so my request would be a new menu called "Internet Video" which accepts the m3u list as Internet Radio does.
The only difference: After mplayer is closed, it should not start automatically to tune to the next channel, but just go back to the channel list and wait there for the next channel selection.

This would make the life for us vdr & N800 users much easier.

The second feature request would be a EPG (feeded from xml, same as the Nokia VideoCenter accepts them) The epg can also be exported from vdr into xmltv format and loaded on the N800 video center.

Would be cool if canola could also load this "Remote EPG" as Nokia calls it in VideoCenter.
