− | | |
− | Martin has analysed the TVgenial data format and put the specifications online, hoping that someone would write a client for the data, which would also run on Martin's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh Mac]. Due to a lack of interest, Martin started to write a client on his own in January 2003, using the plaform independent language [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_%28programming_language%29 Java].
| |
− | | |
− | He offered this client to [http://www.tvgenial.de TVgenial], as they only have one client, that runs but on Windows systems.
| |
− | | |
− | ===April 2003===
| |
− | | |
− | When TVgenial rejected the offered client, Martin decided to offer his client under the name "TV-Browser" as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Source Open Source-project] on [http://sourceforge.net/projects/tvbrowser SourceForge].
| |
− | | |
− | For legal reasons he removed the part which would load data from TVgenial. Instead, Martin designed the system in order to allow others to read own data (today known as [[Plugin#TV-Data_Services|TV-Data Services]]), which means that a TV-Browser existed, but did not contain any data.
| |
− | | |
− | ===March 2003===
| |
− | | |
− | Til joined Martin and wrote the first public [[Plugin#TV-Data_Services|TV-Data Service]]. He got his TV data in [http://membled.com/work/apps/xmltv/ XMLTV]-format from an Austrian server.
| |
− | | |
− | ===September 2003===
| |
− | | |
− | The host of the server that provided the XMLTV-data discontinued his service, hence TV-Browser didn't have any more data.
| |
− | | |
− | ===November 2003===
| |
− | | |
− | The first version with its own TV data is online. Martin and Til had created an own TV-data format (... as Martin knew by now how to do this http://forum.tvbrowser.org/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif ). Both started with a rather meager choice of channels, but were nevertheless confident, that they soon would be able to stock up the number of available channels.
| |
− | | |
− | Since then, the data is directly drawn from the channels, exported into the TV-Browser format and provided on servers, which had been provided by volunteers specially for the TV-Browser project.
| |
− | | |
− | ===December 2003===
| |
− | | |
− | [http://www.wannawork.de Bodo] joins the TV-Browser project. Firstly adds a few smaller [[plugin|plugins]] ([[WebPlugin|Google.de_Suche]], [[WebPlugin|Imdb.com_Suche]]), later supplies the [[TV_Rater|TV-Rater]]-plugin and finally joins the development team.
| |
− | | |
− | ===May 2004===
| |
− | | |
− | ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG refuses the use of their data by the TV-Browser-team - for legal reasons as they claim. Hence, the channels Pro7, Sat1, Kabel1 and N24 are not available. [http://hilfe.tvbrowser.org/viewtopic.php?t=333 Forum]
| |
− | | |
− | ===May 2004===
| |
