You need a subscription to use the Spotify API and external applications

 

Ah, I see. I guess they figure that is an alternative to making the end users pay? Seems a bit backwards...

They make users pay for no ads and ability to use play any song on mobile device instead of shuffle.

 

Also allows the user to download music for offline mode :)

The biggest issue so far I'm finding with the channels is that you can't jump ahead in the stream. I have a bunch a TWiT shows in the podcast channel that I can jump ahead as I watch it, but if I use the TWiT channel, I can't skip ahead in the stream. Same with all the other channels I've tried. Is this something that can be done? If I go to the individual websites, I can scrub to a spot where I want to start streaming from.

It's becuase it's not possible for us to fetch the duration becuase the website doesn't show it. Most websites don't have api.

Would enjoy seeing a PBS Video channel. Great informational, educational, entertainment and arts performances from within the MediaBrowser UI experience (MBC, MBT, Android, WebUI) would be a nice addition.

While improbable that it will ever happen, an Ultraviolet channel would be nice. Yeah very improbable but had to throw it out there.

 

Flixster, Newsy, AOL News, HuffPost News would also be nice.

Lots of good ideas. we need another snazy though if they're all to happen. you guys can all contribute via external recruiting.

I notice the ITV channel has arrived, sneaked in under the radar though, please make a fuss about it! :) Seems to work well so far from the brief go I've had with it

Seems great, one thing that surprised me is the lack of ads, tried to watch the world cup online on itv.com in the summer and they were unavoidable

Maybe Ultraviolet? (I have no idea if that is even possible the way is distributed via various sites like flixter, vudu.. etc)

Ultraviolet would be really cool. Unfortunately, I don't see Sony or the MPAA going long with that. They require lots or security and DRM.

Any chance you could please have a look at the Australian ABC iView?

I quote ultraviolet developer pages

 

Companies participating in UltraViolet must pay annual fixed license fees. Certain roles also pay usage fees.

 

Most roles pay US $50,000 per year per territory, with a cap of $150,000.

 

Client implementers pay $75,000 per year for a worldwide license, plus $0.25 each time one of their players is registered to an account.

 

Each transaction resulting in placement of a rights token costs $0.25 for a long-form movie or $0.02 for a short-form TV show, split between the retailer and the content provider. Each stream costs $0.01.

 

Usage fees are capped at $250,000 per year. Companies taking multiple roles must pay the fixed license fee for each role, capped worldwide at a total of $300,000.

 

A special partner developer license, which allows companies to develop products or components only for full licensees, costs $5,000 annually.

 

Small companies (annual gross revenue <$100M) pay only 20% of fixed fees but have
