Request: Pimpware script or plugin

[TheBoxMan]

Hey all,

I'll start with a link http://www.pimpware.org

This is a streaming program that's mainly meant for PSP users. There's a server for installation on a desktop and a client for installation on the PSP.


It also runs a webserver which renders *any* requested media to a preset size and displays them via a flash video to most flash enabled devices. The program is open source I *think*

What I'm wondering is 2 fold.

1. Could we produce a server program for running on the xbox so that the media on your xbox could be accessed via web-browser and PSP wherever we go.

2. Whether a plugin could be read that would enable users to access a remote PSP on the internet using it's IP address to play all media on it via flv video.

Let me know what you guys think these are possible ;-)

I should add that accessing it on the PSP would be via pimpstreamer adding the xbox ip address as a server. Of course if you're behind a router this means setting up NAT but it's quite easy.

Not going to happen.
1-The Xbox hardware isn't powerful enough to do that sort of real-time transcoding, even if you were running some sort of native port of the stream server.
2-To get this running within XBMC you would have to port the server to Python. It appears to be written in C++, so this is far from a trivial task even given the available source code. Add in the fact that the app relies heavily on external libraries like libffmpeg and you get mess.
3-There are simply not enough people who would want this in the first place, since the end-user would have to have a modded PSP, modded XBox, proper network setup, plus the time and inclination to dink around with this and try and get it working. Most likely such a person would simply transcode their videos on their much more powerful PC, either in real-time or with one of the many media packages people have made for PSP stuff.
So yeah, I don't think so, but you're welcome to try it yourself ;P

It would be simpler if the PSP supported UPnP as XBMC already have a UPnP MediaServer (and are not going to add any other streaming servers nativly).
