[Linux] I want to stream from this site
#1
Here's the deal. I have an Ubuntu machine set up with XBMC hooked up to my plasma tv and use the official Android-app as remote control. This set-up is almost perfect, as this is easily the best media experience I have had in my life.

There's one catch. There is this one great website called Gamekings which offers (excellent) streaming video's and I visit it daily. I have yet to find a way to integrate them into XBMC. Their website doesn't support rss nor do they post their vids on youtube. The end result is that I either go to their site to stream their vids or just download the mp4 and start it up in XBMC using the filebrowser on my remote.

Thing is: both involves switching away from XBMC. So my question is: does anybody has any idea of means to watch their vids through XBMC, perhaps through a plugin, script of Android app?

Site:

http://www.gamekings.tv/videos

Thanks!

If you know your way arround the computer you could try the software Flexget, it can pull files from HTML pages configured with a filter to only pull, for example, *.mp4 files

Download the software from http://www.flexget.com and check out the HTML function at http://flexget.com/wiki/Plugins/html.

be sure to read up on the software a bit before since it's kinda easy to mess it up, but the config should look something like this:


Code:
html: http://www.gamekings.tv/videos
regexp:
  accept:
    - *\.mp4
  rest: filter
download: /path/to/download/the/files

And if you run into some problems they have a IRC channel with great support over at freenode #flexget

I finally discovered how to do this. Forgive me for my necropost; this thread ended up in the google-rankings and I'm hoping this post will help other Dutch gamers.

The website gets scraped by Navi-x which has a plugin available. Google, download, install, add and open. It's listed under the scraped websites.

A 'thank you' is in order to the Navi-x ppl.
