News Streamer

News Streamer is a fantastic software that provides users with a script that allows them to play the most recent France 2 news report using Mplayer. The French TV station, France 2, has been considerate enough to make its news broadcasts available on the Internet. However, it has been done in a way that's not particularly easy for non-Microsoft products. That's where News Streamer comes in.

This script has been designed to make things easier by checking for the availability of the most recent news report and then playing it using Mplayer. The check for the availability of an episode is carried out using an mmsrip. If you find it useful to watch the news at a different speed, a speed parameter can be passed to this script, for instance, 'f2 0.5' to play at half speed.

In the event that the most recent episode is not available, this script will keep searching back until it finds the most recent available episode. However, it won't keep searching endlessly, and will eventually give up after 10 episodes. To be honest, if it doesn't find anything after 10 episodes, it probably means that there's a problem at their end, they've changed their URL format, or you've got some kind of network trouble.

To access News Streamer, you'll need to have mmsrip as one of your system requirements. What's more, in the latest release, the script has been edited to work with mmsrip v0.6.0 (patch no longer needed).

Overall, News Streamer is an excellent software that provides users with a hassle-free way to access the most recent France 2 news report using Mplayer. Its easy-to-use interface and impressive features make it a must-have for news lovers who want to stay updated on current affairs.
