+Title: New and improved Frikanalen addon for Kodi (0.0.3)
+Tags: english, video, frikanalen, kodi

+
+<p>If you read my blog regularly, you probably know I am involved in
+running and developing the <a href="https://frikanalen.no/">Norwegian
+TV channel Frikanalen</a>.  It is an open channel, allowing everyone
+in Norway to publish videos on a TV channel with national coverage.
+In addition to distribution on RiksTV and Uninett, Frikanalen is also
+available as a Kodi addon.  The last few days I have updated the code
+to add more features.  A
+<a href="https://github.com/xbmc/repo-plugins/pull/2141">new and
+improved Frikanalen addon</a> was just made available via the Kodi
+repositories.  This new version include the possibility to browse
+videos by category, as well as free text search in the video archive.
+It will also now show the video duration in the video lists, which
+were missing earlier.  In addition, an experimental link to the HD
+video stream currently being worked on is provided, for those that
+want to see what the CasparCG stream look like.  The alternative is
+the SD video stream, generated using MLT.  CasparCG is controlled by
+our <a href="https://github.com/Frikanalen/mltplayout/">mltplayout
+server</a> which instead of talking to mlt is giving PLAY instructions
+to the CasparCG server when it is time to start a new program.</p>
+
+<p>By now, you are probably wondering what kind of content is being
+played on the video.  These days, it is filled with technical
+presentations like those from <a href="https://www.nuug.no/">NUUG</a>,
+<a href="https://www.debconf.org/">Debconf</a>, Makercon, and TED,
+but there are also some periods with
+<a href="https://www.empo.no/">EMPT TV</a> and
+<a href="https://www.p7.no/">P7</a>.
