| Post subject: | mythtv and videopodcast: how to download |
KM R5E50 i want to record some videopodcasts with my KM box (version as above, standard installation). after some search on the forum i found Democracy should be able to get it. Democracy can be started, and some (tried a bit) of the default sources work. but: i cannot get a working address from the site which has the videopodcast on it transported to Democracy Player (tried Channels > Add Channel > insert URL) on my windows 98se machine the videopodcast is playing fine, but i cannot download it on that machine because(?) there is no podcast (RSS?) client available (on the net) which works with 98se. when clicking on the site above i get addresses in the status bar of my browser, but none of these gives Democracy the connection which is needed. at the screen (win98se machine) where the video plays, the status bar in the browser has disappeared, so no address is visible. at the edge of the playing screen, the RSS logo (clickable) is visible. on the Mythbox that same logo is called ROD tried the ROD button: gives a window that will let me search on some sources, e.g. Youtube (tried that, it works), but i see NO way how i can seach for the site my wanted videopodcast is on... btw: that video is on www.zdf.de, search for 'anstalt', you get some programs having been broadcasted, i tried 'Neues aus der Anstalt', episode '8' (the one which plays on my win-box as described above) would be grateful for advice how to near that site from the Mythtv box... thanks, rob NL |

strange things happening here.. did some work with democracy player. discovered the possibility to let seach for files in the 'Google video search' window. gave in the relevant text. there was returned a list of files (most seemed to have a certain 'youtube character' (short/coarse) a number of them could be downloaded successfully (as *.flv files) on trying the more promising files (big files which could be the whole film i searched for), democracy tried to download, but within the split of a second gave the output: 'file not found'... bad..... i tried a search on another computer, using my browser. went to Google, to the tab 'video'. searched using the same relevant text, here it returns a list which looks the same. i tried to download one of the big files democracy did not 'see'. the file downloaded normally, it was called ######.wmv.mp4 what is wrong with democracy? is it the mp4 file type it does not recognize? (haven't played the mpeg4 yet, so i don't be aware it is corrupt).. edit: the film plays in vlc (video + sound present) can i instruct democracy to download mp4/mpeg4 files?? thanks, rob NL |
