i've put together a script for controlling the snapstream beyondtv server. the script supports the “watch livetv” part, with the possibility to set the streaming quality, select channel and watch the stream. i’ve also implemented user authentication.
i’ve only been able to test it with v3.4.4 of beyondtv so if anyone has another version of the server please pm me.
while the stream is playing i would like to show a custom dialog with 2 labels displaying what channel is streaming and the stream quality. is this possible? i know that the ok dialog can be shown on-top of the video, put i haven’t figured out how to show a custom dialog/window at position x-y with size h-w.
i would also like to be able to change channels while the stream is showing with the up/down keys on the remote or on the controller. while the stream is playing these keys are assigned to other actions, is it somehow possible to intercept these actions (e.g. in onaction ) and from there set the action to handled/none to indicate that script has handled the action and thus the player does not need to do anything?
channel selection while the stream is showing could alternatively be implemented by using the select(..) dialog, but i just can’t find any available button that could trigger the display of the select dialog. seems like every button on the remote or on the controller is already assigned to an action.
