Nice. Are you using 0.3.3? Have you noticed any bad bugs with it? I made lots of changes to the player, hope it works ok.

This should be quite easy. All you need to do is create a playlist like this:

Code:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?><playlist><item title='Channel name' url='pvr:/dev/video0:norm=secam:size=720x576:frequency=576250:
bitrate=3000000:maxbitrate=4000000'/>

Then add the playlist to Knots like a normal directory. I bet I need to make some changes to Knots though, but try it first and report back.

No, sorry. I bet I could make it somewhat run on Linux/FreeBSD with Ruby-GTK though.
