So I just bought a location free player PK1 for $47.50 brand new off ebay.....
Pretty sweet deal considering they are around like $100 everywhere else....
I am waiting for it to come in an i have been day dreaming about it all day....
(I have a PSP, so that means remote XBMC, and live TV anywhere in the world)
But it makes me wonder....after all the work that has been put into xbmc, and all the apps written, there has to be a relatively easy app that you can write to get xbmc to be able to connect to the location free player (that would be connected to the cable/sat) so that you will be able to use an xbox as a TV box, because the psp can do it....
-First I would need to find out how the LFP(Location free player) sends out the signal to any device....
-Then it would help to see how the PSP LFP feature works as it would give a basic outline on how to code the xbox (cause the xbox doesn't have the hardware to reach the requirements to be called a PC...
-Then we would code it as an app
-then we would work on getting it show up as an icon in the home screen...
I plan on making this in python, because I read somewhere that python is what most XBMC apps are made of, and second that is really the only one that I really know RIGHT NOW
Also it won't get done if I do it all by myself, cause I have never fully written a useful program in python, non the less an XBMC app....so if anyone would like to help, I am fully open for you....we will try to use this thread as the drawing board, but if the mods don't like that then, no problem, we will just move onto PM's....Thansk for reading...
