Hi guys,

I started personalising my XBMC and wanted to add an extra feature to it, namely traficinfo. In Belgium there is a good site to check the trafic before leaving home:
http://www.touringmobilis.be/nl/webmap.html

Now I wanted to include this map : http://www.touringmobilis.be/nl/version3.swf as a tab in XBMC (like the weather tab).

I already did some research and tried some things: Making an extra tab in the XML files is not a problem anymore, I figured it out. Making xbmc recognize a plugin is not that difficult too. But getting that map with the realtime info imported in XBMC, I couldn't figure out how to do this. I did a lot of searching without any result.

Is there someone who can give me an example of a plugin that does something similar, or can someone tell me how I have to start with this?

apparantly nobody has an answer for me.

Maybe there is another solution, is it possible to integrate a html page? I hope someone can give me a hint

You would need to convert that swf to an image and then view the image with xbmc. Or you might be able to execute a browser with its command line argument as that swf url. I dont know if it would open the browser over xbmc. There isnt any browser integration within xbmc right now.

Thanx for the sugestion! is it possible to convert this to an image in Python? And update the image for exemple once a minute?

Im not aware of any code but I'm sure google will produce some good info on swf to gif/jpeg/other.
