as long as its not flash, you golden....hate the skipping I get from those youtube vids.
But really i'm thinking flash is the only possible route to view it via webbrowser.

plain XMLTV file(s), listing the channels. Then one can add the xml link to video center and view videos via mplayer.
that would make videocenter and your http://www.livetv.ws/ liked alot.

Not very knowlegeble regarding TV stream, the Nokia videocenter does offer some clues, http://videocenter.garage.maemo.org/VC_Formats.html. For internet videoes, it supports .MP4, .3PG, .XML, and .avi, .mpg to some extent depends on format, no luck with .M4V. I have Systm, InDigital, Diggnation, MobuzzTV, PodshowTV, Rocketboom streaming video with Videocenter 100% functioning; I have Street Fury, The Totally Rad show, Ripe TV-Podcast, dl then media player or mplayer with very little problems.

Would the few internet TVs listed above gave some clues about supporting features, maybe a beta version, Donny? Looking forward to some beta test...................thanks, Donny .

has anyone heard of slingbox? Its a hardware that upstreams your cable tv online and you can view it from an internet connection with their program. They even have the program for cell phones on windows mobile. I wonder if the same program could be made for the N800, that would work great.

lots of people have asked about a Slingplayer software for use on N800..hopefully with more Nokia tablets coming out they will notice the need and desire for Slingbox users with Nokia tablets....people have requested it on Slingbox forums...

I find watching flash youtube in the browser poor - too jerky, too slow. Watching youtube via UKTUBE/MPlayer is PERFECT however! Really good job by the developer. Take a look at it. If you can format your tv streams to be compatible with this program, that would be great. Can't help you with specs - try getting in contact with UKTUBE creator Urho Konttori. All we need is a plain text list of the links to paste into UKTUBE.
Love to watch your site with my N800. Good idea ..:

No, please... that would be a usability nightmare with all the copy and pasting. Something that would work in video center would be ideal.

I've installed VideoCenter but not really used it as it's yet-another distinct UI from Nokia with no clear instructions and no choice for changing where it looked for videos. It also didn't pick up all the videos I already had, so wasn't exactly clear on what it should be doing.

Someone'll need to explain to me better what VideoCenter does with XMLTV files. It's a file format for describing what's on TV channels, does VideoCenter double up as a listings app?

Anyway, you can get uncompressed XMLTV files from my "bulk" download service using a URL like:

http://www.bleb.org/tv/data/listings...XMLTV&file=txt

If VideoCenter still doesn't work with that, raise it on the mailing list:

http://www.bleb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tvdevel

More info at: http://www.bleb.org/tv/data/listings?help

Cheers,

Andrew

PS. Top tip for both here and on the garage thread; perhaps emailing me would've been a useful way of getting XMLTV output which worked with VideoCenter? ;-)
