------ a basic IRC client for XBMC mediacenter ------

ABOUT
Divingmule and me are happy to introduce, the IRC Chat for XBMC. Now available in the official repo. We have been working on this project for a while and we are really happy with how it turned out. It was a fun challenge, a chat for a mediacenter. We wanted to improve the experience of watching live video streaming. Often, live streams have a web chat and this was a part of the "conversation" we were missing out of. These web-chats were mostly javascript and that meant just scraping them would be hard. But then we found that most of them had an IRC server behind them. So we started looking into ways to do IRC in python and after some tries we found a way. From there on, one by one, the most important IRC features were added.


FEATURES
* Follow the chat conversations while watching your favorite streams.
* Join the conversation.
* View a list of users in your current channel.
* View a list of available channels on your host.
* Context options such as: WhoIs, set away message and sending private messages.
* Connect to channel from the channel list or by entering the channel name into the keyboard dialog.
* Great variety of colors to make the chat blend in, or stand out from the video.
* The possibility of direct integration with your favorite streaming sites and addons.
* Hang out on the XBMC IRC channel from within XBMC.
