here what ive done today
i decided, that in time for tonights Man U vs Arsenal game, i would get English commentry on TPS Star
what a mission lol
anyway, after trying to unsuccesfully copy radio PIDs and save them as an extra audio feed on the said channel, i decided that internet streaming was the way forward....
i added the dreamnetcast plugin on the Dreambox and edited the stations.xml file to pickup a stream from 5live through VLC.... wouldnt work.. although i could get http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/live/live.asx to save as a streaming C:\5live.pls file and then play it... my dreambox couldnt find a path to my C: drive??? limitations of the dreamnetcast player i think.
So i then joined shoutcast making my own radio station .... anyway apart from attracting a few listeners with my cool rock music and wit (and getting slightly side tracked hehhe) i then routed 5live through my new station and put the stream address into the stations.xml file on the dreambox <sigh> are you still with me....
although it worked in principle... i could here it on the TV along with watching the TV channel.... it didnt work, Shoutcast has up 90 secs delay in broadcasting, add to that the slight delay that all the re routing of the 5live broadcast had... it made it a complete wate of time.
shame really, thought i was onto something O-st
