Gresham College Lectures XBMC Plugin
Gresham College London has been providing free lectures to the public for over 400 years and continue to this day. For some time now they have been recording the lectures and making them available on the website in a number of formats for viewing or listening.
This is a quick and dirty plugin I wrote for xbox media center to scrape the content from the Gresham College website and provide links for streaming either the video or audio available. Sadly the navigation isn’t great as there isn’t really much to go on from the site, I am looking at adding a search and maybe splitting it by year to help. Also XBMC plays nicer with MP3/MP4 in terms of buffering so stick with those if they are available.
Just scratching an itch for myself but if you fancy watching a few free lectures on a whole load of subjects, grab this and install in your XBMC plugins folder.
On page 27 you’ll find an interesting symposium on Science Fiction as a literary genre with Neal Stephenson as a guest speaker.
