The project's aim is to allow other applications and websites to consume this information with an easy to use API.\n\nChannels are basically the containers of Media Objects translated to computer format, just as Websites are the containers for the information we humans digest.\n\nMedia Objects are the smallest building blocks. These are often things like comments, twitter or blog posts, songs, movies, books, and the list goes on.\n\n\nThe reason I started these projects was to allow people to consume THEIR content WHEN they want and HOW they want.\nThis opens the door to a brand new world of possibilities.\n\nThe primary objective is to make the web more open and accessible regardless of the software or device that people use.\n\nMotto: People need to see past what it is, for what it can be.\n\n# Examples:\n  * Watch content from flash websites on your AppleTV.\n  * Access content from your computer on the AppleTV without the need to be at your computer.\n  * Get up to date show times right on your Calendar. (Google, iCal, Apple Watch, iPhone, Android, etc)\n  * Get notifications when a movie hits your local theater.\n  * Read RSS feeds from Websites that don't support them out of the box.\n  * More coming soon\n\nIn the future, there will also be an authentication API to allow more personalized content, settings, and\ncontent from subscription providers.\n\n# Content (Consumable Media Objects):\n* eBooks\n* Movies\n* TV Shows\n* Trailers\n* Songs\n* Notes\n* Documents\n* ROMS\n* Recipes\n* Art / Fan Art\n* Study Guides\n* Live Streams\n* Events\n* Calendars\n* Torrents\n* Anonymous / Private Networks\n* Cancellation Buzz\n* RSS Feeds\n* .. And practically everything else on the web.\n\n# Projects:\n* [Aggregator (Core)](https://github.com/bugs181/Aggregator)\n\n# Streamers: \nThese projects add a compatibility layer to existing products.\n\n**Television:**\n * [AppleTV App Streamer](https://github.com/bugs181/AppleTV-Streamer)\n * [PopcornTV](https://github.com/bugs181/PopcornTV) - *Modified version to use MediaChannel instead of torrents.*\n * [Popcorntime.io Streamer](https://github.com/bugs181/Popcorntime)\n * UPnP Server\n * Plex Channel\n \n**Events:**\n * Calendarizer\n\n# Players (Consumers):\n\n**Television:**\n * MediaChannel - *Provides easy access to all desktop players using a plugin architecture.*\n * Modified Popcorntime-desktop\n * Genie - *Web UI that shows proof of concept and in-action demo of using the service for television.*\n * [AppleTV 4 tvOS App](https://github.com/bugs181/tvOS)\n\n**RSS:**\n * Feeder.io - *Adapted from Feedly, this site allows you to have custom RSS feeds and community driven plugins.* (Coming Soon)\n\n# Planned\n* Roku\n* Chromecast\n* Dedicated web portal\n* iOS and Android apps\n* Notifier\n* Apple TV 1 - 3 Trailers hack (In progress) - *See [PopcornTV](https://github.com/bugs181/PopcornTV) or [AppleTV App Streamer](https://github.com/bugs181/AppleTV-Streamer)*\n* [AppleTV 4 tvOS App](https://github.com/bugs181/tvOS) (In progress)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbugs181%2Fmediachannel","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbugs181%2Fmediachannel","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbugs181%2Fmediachannel/lists"}
