Vastly inferior solution but as a quick fix could we not write a server that runs on a networked computer which essentially embeds the actual client and to which a python client passes variables?
It would need the server running on a networked computer, of course. quite like Xlink Kai really.....
Still as a down and dirty quick fix solution until we can figure out how to get the streams working directly it might work.
-------------------------------
Also while the BBC is essentially 'non-commercial' it's not strictly speaking an arm of the government. Our taxes do not go to paying for the BBC - in the UK one must pay for a 'TV License' in order to (legally) watch BBC channels. It is the TV license that pays for the BBC as distinct from other channels which are paid for through advertising and not licensing. That's my understanding anyway!
