Calling a third Party viewing app from the guide

[Ambro]

I don't know if this sort of thing has been requested before.

- when on the TV guide page: when I choose 'watch program'; instead of running the gb-pvr tv viewing software a .bat specific for that station is called to run. I could then have individual .bat files pointing to whatever commandline driven viewing app I choose. This could be setup by selecting another drop down box in the config for each channel that the epg had detected - although as a non-programmer this sort of stuff may be more difficult than I think ...

Reason being is I'd like to get a small program called digital watch going. It has a the ability to choose codecs for individual stations and a 'rolling' timeshift buffer - something that allows my nvidia decoders to work (they don't like reconnecting with the current 'block' timeshift set-up). I gather these features are not going to be put into gb-pvr, so this request would provide a work around.

Cheers,
Ambro

I would like this as well...when choosing to watch, give a choice of tuners or in the config, set an external player like in my videos.

The reason being, I have a AIW 9600 xt as well. Long story short, I get tearing which is driving me crazy and the AIW doesn't have any tearing. Interestingly, the resulting transcoded files don't seem to show tearing.

Anyway, that's my vote for this feature.
