I have been outside of Nepal for quite sometime now. For news report and TV program, I logon to canadanepal.net among others to flick through the items. Since I am using raspberry pi as a media center, I thought of porting videos in my telly.
For those who are interested in watching Nepali and Indian TV Channels in a TV, I recommend XBMC (available on Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, AppleTV etc) and install Navi-X addon. Refer to wiki on Navi-X code page for installation details.
I run Raspbmc, a debian based distro for Raspberry Pi, connected to Samsung P2370HD and controlled by XBMC Remote – works flawlessly. I am also running XBMC in my Windows and Linux, plus in Google Nexus (I have issues with sound in my phone though).
I have added a few Nepali TV channels (NTV, NTV Plus and Sagarmatha) and some Youtube channels to Navi-X repository. The TV channels stream live. I shall keep updating the repository as I get new feeds.
Search “nepal” in Navi-X.
Right click and save the result – “Nepali TV” to your favourite.
Happy watching!
Update: November 2014 I have put the JSON of latest playlist publicly - if you are interested in building up your own app.
Here's the snapshot of generated JSON. The file gets updated every hour.
