WEBmedia plugin for Showtime is a free internet source media reader. Can read RSS feeds, Imagecast, Podcast, Videocast, Live TV/Radio (rtmp). I built this plugin for my own use because I wanted more than current Showtime plugins can give. The purpose of this plugin is to have the possibility to read free media sources available on the Internet.

I thank Andreas Öman for Showtime, a wonderfull application, for always improving it and for all the plugin documentation. I also thank facanferff and NP for their excelent plugins.

Release notes: 1.0: Initial version

Read RSS feeds (RSS, Imagecast, Podcast and Videocast)
Read Live TV and Live Radio (rtmp)
Read up to four XML data files from HTTP or SMB (just one URL needed)
Settings for choose if want to aggregate sources
- By publisher
- By theme
- By country (242 countries by default)
- By type (6 types by default)
If you want to, you can choose a parental control level (1 to 9) for each source
If you want to, you can choose if each source is your favorite
Extremely flexible, for each source, you can have a simple xml with title and link or a more complex xml with title, link, thumbnail, themes, publisher, country, type, parental control and if is your favorite
Some debug settings

Installing:

WEBmedia v1.0, is available directly from Showtime plugin repository. Just install it from there (the puzzle peace in showtime homepage right top corner). For the latest version (v1.1), while is not in the plugin reservatory, download here
Create your sources XML file
Put your sources URL in WEBmedia plugin showtime settings (for those that don't know how to do it, see the readme file)
Run it!

If you want to, use other users sources URL and share your generated pastehtml or pastebin URL so others can use it.

Suggestions & feedback are welcome. But take into account that there are problems related with showtime that are not related to this plugin. So if you have freezes or something like that, add a bug to showtime tasks in showtime website.

Read the readme file for more information.

This is a plugin for showtime not an application, so i think it can be done only as showtime + plugins pkg and unfortunately i don't know how to do it.

But, as you can see in the readme, if you have allready showtime installed, for installing the plugin you just need to do this
"Copy the webmedia zip file to a USB pen drive, open Showtime, go to the USB pen drive icon and run webmedia zip file"

You should install the zip into /dev_hdd0/game/HTSS00003/USRDIR/settings/plugins. Something like that.

Nice work andreus.

Thanks for the warning NP

So now for installing it you just need to go to the plugin repository in showtime (puzzle peace icon on the top right of showtime homepage) and install it.

If you are talking about channels.com, i think all those channels come from rss/podcasts/videocasts from the publishers.
So what you need to do is go to the publisher of that channel and get the podcast URL.

Then you can add it to webMedia plugin.

But, if you give me an example i can help a little more
