Streaming non-DRM content from iTunes - discovery piece

I have a series of videos I want my kids to be able to get to. They are in an iMac with iTunes.

I haven't tried writing an rss parser with the Roku scripting stuff, but I did the server piece using Rails (can get your iTunes library XML, create a db of the movie items and build an RSS file with direct enclosures to the content). You can find it at

http://github.com/hackerdude/itunesmovieserver

It also has a bit of info on how to set up symlink following so you can publish the movies folder directly through apache.

Now all we need is an enterprising Roku App developer to write something that will parse this list. 😄

Re: Streaming non-DRM content from iTunes - discovery piece

When we launch our channel / application it will read XML/RSS feeds.
I think Mediafly can read XML/RSS feeds.

I don't know if that helps.
