(own)Cloud Plugin

Hi all,

is there an plugin to sync multimedia and dates with the cloud?

If not, I am willing to develop such plugin. My first ideas are:
- showing and editing calendar entries
- up/download files
- first I would prefer ownCloud as platform.

Any comments are welcome.

Rene

MythWeb will already generate standard RSS and iCal that should
integrate well with most calender applications.

MythWeb allows you to download and stream content already, as does the
web application built into mythbackend. A mechanism to allow upload of
new content for the video/music/photo libraries would be interesting,
but it would still be better for this to be integrated rather than made
possible through some 3rd party platform.

I don't think you actually understand what the "cloud" is. Shared
hosting and terminal servers have been around for decades, providing
high bandwidth and a tech staff for cut rate prices. The "cloud" is
nothing more than another layer of abstraction on top of that. Instead
of those tasks and data living on any particular physical server, they
are now in a virtual instance, dynamically shifting around the server
farm as utilization requires, allowing for more efficient allocation and
high availability.

The key characteristic is still that it is off in some remote server
farm. When you as an end-user download ownCloud, and run it on your own
home server, you have not produced a "cloud". You are just running a
web server.

Re: (own)Cloud Plugin [In reply to]

My last post was not very clear. I will explain again.

My use case for calendar is:
I stand up in the morning and turn on mythtv. Then I will check my private
Dates of the day (not tv-recording or so). On work or so I edit my dates via
web or smartphone and mythtv should display this changes. After work I will
edit my dates from television. Therefor I would like to use a mythtv plugin.

My use case for multimedia is:
I plug in my memory-card or camera (e.g. via usb) and i see my fotos. This can
now be downloaded to cloud through mythtv.

I hope this explanation helps to understand my idea.
