yac support in xbmc? knowing who calling would be great while you watching a movie for you will know if you want to get up and pause the movie and answer the phone or just stay watching the movie and ignore the call

the way yac works is when a call comes in and your 56k modem on your pc picks up the name/number yac will broadcast the name/number to the programs that support it on the lan/network such as tivo/some directv boxes and if xbmc would add support for it well yac could broad cast the name and number on screen while you watching a movie or so on...

here is a screen shot of how it shows up on tivo http://www.sunflowerhead.com/images/yac-...enshot.jpg

and here is a screen shot of how it shows up on pc

basically all xbmc needs to do is support yac so yac can send info to it "broadcast" the info to the screen etc... i'm not sure if people understand how it works so i tried to give a better look on it

for more info check http://www.sunflowerhead.com/software/yac/ it is opensource and here is a site with info on how to write a client for yac http://www.sunflowerhead.com/software/yac/yac-sdk.htm

maybe a on-screen dialog like the one used for movies that show play/pause/rewind buttons could pop up and show the name & number of caller for 5 seconds or what ever you set your osd time-out to

eeeh, beelzebub, a little ot in this thread. u should post stuff like this in a separate thread (or perhaps you already have) and then once is enough.

well if support for such thing was to be added it would need to be supported in the new osd they're working on? so i thought it had to do with it? for the "pop-up" dialog on screen showing the info etc...

actually the new osd which this thread was originaly opened for is already in so i'm going to go ahead and close this thread.
