XOT-Uzg.v3
XOT-Uzg.v3 stands for XBMC Online TV - Uitzendinggemist. It is an XBox Media Center script which allows playback of streams a number of online TV stream sites.
It originally started with streams from [wwww.uitzendinggemist.nl] which is a Dutch site. The script got it's name from this site: 'Uitzendding gemist' means 'missed episode' in Dutch.
Discussion about the script can be done in this thread at XBMC or in this thread at Tweakers.net (Dutch only). Issues regarding this script can be submitted at our Project Page at [code.google.com].
Script or plugin or addon
XBMC supports two methods of custom content:
- Plugins
- Scripts
With the introduction of plugins, I converted XOT into both! Depending on how it's called from XBMC. Visit the installation page for more information on how to install it as either a plugin or scripts.
Be aware that XOT originally was designed to be a script and that the plugin functionality is only there because some people like it over the script version. Development is done on the script and then afterwards implemented in the plugin.
More recent builds of XBMC use addons instead of plugins or scripts. XOT-Uzg.v3 is also available as an addon. The big benefit of the addon version is that it provides both the script and the plugin version in a single download.
XOT-Framework vs. XOT-Uzg
In 2009 more people started to use XOT-Uzg for their own channels. That introduced the problem that users from those derived-XOT's came to use with their problems. There were even derived-XOT's that used our update url!
So the XOT-Framework was introduced. The framework contains the basics from XOT-Uzg.v3 script minus the channels and skins and it is meant for others to use in their own streaming script. However, the XOT-Frameworks is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 Unported License. So everybody is allowed to use it for non-commercial use, but not to change any part of it. This solved the problem of issues with derived-XOT's because they now need to use the unchanged XOT-Framework.
If you need a version of XOT and you need either XOT-Uzg.v3 or, if you are using a derived-XOT, you have to download the XOT-Framework.v3.

Please sir, can you spare a dollar?
A lot of people are using XOT-Uzg now. On the 20th of januari 2008 we passed the border of 100.000 XOT-script starts. What if all those people would have donated 1ct each time they started XOT :D. It wouldn't make me rich, but heck, why not try to earn a bit on the side with my hobby? So if you are enjoying XOT and you can spare a some change (1$ or 1€) just donate it via PayPal!
