    First VMC Project - Internet streaming

    Hi,

    There a lot of websites who offer some live channels on their web site but don't have any RSS feeds or anything to access the videos easily, they are designed to be played direclty in the webpage (i.e. see the links on the left at http://www.cbc.ca/olympics/)

    I would like to develop a VMC plug-in to access these channels on my TV with the remote.

    What would be the main steps? Is there any existing plugins or easy way to do that?

    First I will have to parse the HTML page to get the Url of the feeds. It seems that there is a security mecanism to prevent direct access to the feed, however I think that simply calling a javascript to get a security token seems to do the trick. That part I can take care of.

    Then I would have to generate a list of the channels and be able to play them in VMC. Any sample code from a similar app would be great.

    Thanks
