Who to use it with Firefox:

Now I will explain you how to get it working with Firefox,

First we need a Firefox extension called: Lanchy,
this extension give us the ability to open directly from Firefox Youtube video on youtube webpage (not on all webpages that have a youtube video!

You ALWAYS need the youtube videos webpage! After you have installed Launchy (from firefoxs addon site), restart Firefox, now it will ask you to insert a Launchys button on your toolbar (DO IT! so open Youtube videos will be very simply), after that go on the preferences/option of this extension and uncheck the option: "search automatically programs".

Now copy the "launchy.xml" file that you found on the package and copy it on your directory:
".mozilla/firefox/YOUR_ID.default/chrome/" , after copied it, please dont forget to edit it with your myvs.py COMPLETE PATH, and add or delete oppurtune option to pass to the script.

Now restart again firefox an watch if it recognise the command (by pressing the G).

Go on youtube.com, open a video webpage, click on the G button-> Open in Mplayer Youtube Video Streamer.

Download Youtube video is a Konqueror service menu to download and encode youtube videos.
This is a hack of another service menu that stoped working (at least for me): http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=37509
Main features:
- Download videos with the KDE file copy dialog instead of using KGet
- Automatically encode videos with mencoder, or just download
You can use ffmpeg too, just comment out the right lines in the python file, Im unable to encode some videos with ffmpeg, so mencoder is the default

Its my first script so its pretty straight forward.

News Streamer provides a script to play the most recent France 2 news report with Mplayer.

The French TV station France 2 has been kind enough to make its news broadcasts available on the Internet. However, this has been done in a way thats not particularly friendly to non-Microsoft products.

This script makes things easier by checking for the availability of the most recent news report and then playing it using Mplayer.

The checking for the availability of an episode is done using a mmsrip.

If its useful to you to watch the news at a different speed, a speed parameter may be passed to this script (eg f2 0.5 to play at half speed)

If the most recent episode is not available, this script will keep searching back until it finds the most recent available episode.

It wont keep searching for ever, however, and gives up after 10 episodes.

To be honest, if it doesnt find anything after 10 episodes it probably means that theres a problem at their end, theyve change their URL format, or youve got some kind of network trouble.

YouTube Cinema 4.7 is a high-speed and powerful program which is capable of playing YouTube videos in cinema style.

VDR MP3/MPlayer Extensions let you play MP3s with Video Disk Recorder and provide a frontend for MPlayer so you can use a DVB card to play files in formats like AVI, ASF, QT, MOV, VIVO, FLI, and FLC.

VDR MP3 plugin adds sound playback capability to VDR by Klaus Schmidinger.

Supported audio codecs:

- libmad Supports MPEG-1/2/2.5 with layers 1/2/3.
- libsndfile Supports MS WAV/A-law/u-law; Apple/SGI AIFF/AIFC; Sun/NeXT AU/SND; Amiga IFF/8SVX/16SV and more.
- libvorbis Supports Vorbis/Ogg.

The MP3 plugin is distributed as a dual-plugin together with the MPlayer plugin. The different audio codecs require additional support libraries.

VDR MPlayer plugin adds the ability to call MPlayer from within VDR (by Klaus Schmidinger), allowing to replay all video formats supported by MPlayer over your DVB card.

Note: for most formats MPlayer has to do on-the-fly transcoding to MPEG1. This requires a decent CPU to work (>1Ghz). It may work with slower CPUs if you tune down the transcoding quality.

The MPlayer plugin is distributed as a dual-plugin together with the MP3 plugin.
