PyTV

PyTV is an open system for realtime television data. It is based on XMLTV.

It uses XMLRPC as the transport and the software available here is written in Python. It is, however, trivial to add other languages into the mix, which is why I'm using it.

So far, all that exists is a proof-of-concept. It does, however, work so I've made releases of a basic server and a client here. Neither are done, but the server is running and accessible and I actually use the client to see what's on.

In what little time I have, I've been working on a number of low-level things such as an on-screen-display framework for opTV. keeping up with XMLTV, designing a decent query API, messing with SDL, among other things. I may eventually have something worth releasing on Freshmeat...

Of course, you'll need to see the obligatory screenshots.

If you want, you can browse my CVS repository.
