This may be a bit ambitious - but a script that used the same channels as democracy player + provided the same kind of frontend would kick arse!

Note that democracy player is written using a lot of python then platform specific frontends... so a lot of code could probably be reused.

it's python alright. might just need a frontend, i'm not sure what format it actually generates, but I could potentially create a python backend to the filesystem. alternate, one could use localhost sockets to stream the data to the dvdplayer/mplayer. (both support udp/tcp)

i have been playing around with miro recently, and i dawned on me that this would be a perfect back-end for xbmc.
I'm loving the way it can handle torrent feeds from tvrss. Torrent support is a bit shaky at the moment, but the developers are going to be using the libtorrent libraries in the next release, and that should sort things out.
This would be the perfect solution for downloading all my TV torrents, and tight integration with xbmc would be great for viewing them.
Sometimes i wish i had the time to learn to code!

I don't mean to bump an old topic, but I really think this could be extremely useful as a backend for XBMC. It does podcasts, TV shows from TVRSS.net, and has torrent support. It's the ultimate IPTV solution, and if we could just play the files using XBMC like we play everything else, we could have an all in one computer for media downloading and playing.

What I meant by integration was not streaming from the podcast sites using Miroguide.com as a guide, i meant connecting with the actual Miro program (which handles podcasts, RSS torrenting etc) and streaming from either the local computer running Miro (in the case of Win/Linux/Mac) or a networked computer running Miro.
basically a way to interface with the Miro backend server (maybe it's called Mirod?) and being able to add/delete RSS feeds from the queue and mark items as played, etc.
