Description

Hi all, ticket opened to avoid concurrent work.

I am working on such a backend. Maybe it could be adapted for other RSS-based web sites afterwards.

I have being toying with google's gdata and youtube-dl libraries, and it seems it could work pretty well (as long as youtube-dl keeps up with google's changes):I can read the RSS feeds, and extract the URL for the mp4 version of the streams. The tricky thing is again reliance on urllib, so I will have to patch both libraries quite heavily. We'll see.

I will upload code asap.

It seems there has been some discussions on implementing access to RSS-based content. Anybody interested in summarizing the status of the discussion?

regards, Jean-Michel

Seems difficult to come with something complete this month, with christmas/NYE/vacations coming soon. Can we postpone the ticket for a future milestone?
