[mythtv-users] Twitter Box ~ Twitter Search+MythTV=SocialSubtitles

[Dean Collins]

I mentioned www.LiveBaseballChat.com <http://www.livebaseballchat.com/>
a few days ago.

 

What I didn't say was watch this space for www.LiveChannelChat.tv
<http://www.livechannelchat.tv/>  :-)

 

Basically the baseball rollout is just the first 'trial version' of the
technology to bed it in and work out any kinks (we've already learnt a
lot about what does and doesn't work) and how best to scale the
technology.

 

We're probably about 8 weeks away from rolling out a beta test to select
people but if you want to get added to the list shoot me an email with
"Live Channel Chat Beta Request" as the subject and you'll automatically
get invited once we launch.

Hi all,

Thought some of you might be interested in a MythTV + Twitter "mashup" I
put together.

In a nut shell its a python script which periodically searches twitter
for posts mentioning the title of the show your currently watching,
displaying the resulting tweets on-screen using mythtvosd.

The results are often quite humorous and sometimes even insightful
(arguably rare on twitter ;).

You can find more details and a link to download the script here:

cial-tv/

Cheers,
Glen

That is rather cool.

Music stations over here often have an "sms chat" on screen, even though
I think their approach is rather lame, this is quite nice. Of course, it
all depends on how it's used and misused.


Met vriendelijke groeten,
