Beardyname 194 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Having twitch is very important for the "younger" (myself included) ppl, who for example love watching e-sports So this is an awesome channel and I can't wait to see how it turns out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abobader 2945 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Good day Snazy, I know it early beta, but at vimeo setup, if you put the username wrong, you can not change it or modify it from the dash. My best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best I don't think that setting is doing anything right now Abo. I think he meant to hide it. The plug-in is more of a proof-of-concept at this point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14913 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Does this mean we could have a YouTube channel as well? I still have the proof of concept I did. The problem with YouTube is playback. You cannot just stream YouTube urls. You have to use a YouTube player. So, every client needs to know how to play these back. It should be possible in all clients except MBC, but each client would have to be able to recognize the item as a YouTube item and then know how to start the YouTube player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your not I will look in to that next Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk I already have a POC in the works, Snazy. As I stated, the legality of it is the playback. As long as the client can launch the item in a sanctioned YT player, it is fine. But we need a way for a channel item to be designated as YT item so that the client can know how to play it back. And then we need the clients to recognize that and start a YT player for it. @@Luke, can the channel infrastructure provide us this mechanism?

Luke 37071 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yea i'm just not totally thrilled about a channel that can't be supported by every client. So we would have to figure out how that would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trusselo 220 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 it would be awesome if someday you had the time to look into the following Canadian channels: http://www.thecomedynetwork.ca/video http://www.space.ca/Video.aspx http://watch.discoverychannel.ca/ non-subscription, no log-in, just a Canadian-IP check to play content.

trooper11 63 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Yeah, maybe something but there is an important distinction between live tv and these types of "channels". Live TV presents actual live broadcast streams whereas these internet channels are really nothing more than another source for media content just like the content you have locally. With a Live TV stream, you can only watch what is being broadcast right at that moment whereas, with these "channels" you can pick and choose whatever content you want - just like you do with your own media. So, to me, these channels really integrate much better with your media folders than they do with the programming guide in a Live TV interface. Well what got me thinking about this is the OneGuide on the X1. I can pin and third party app content there (if the dev enabled support). I can mix it in with tv channels or just have the guide only showing the third party sources (that is how I have it set up now). Heck, I pinned a shared OneDrive account to the guide so that I could watch new videos or pictures (especially new X1 game dvr content). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
