Hi guys, i need help for open a stream(.strm) file on XBMC.
I've founded a topic here in forum that a user explain to use this way to open a file from .rar archive on .strm files:

Code:
archiveurl = http://some/where/|whatever=bar
encode(archiveurl)
rarurl = rar://archiveurl/file.avi

When a try to make a equal with my url and archive that i want, this error appears when i try to open "Can't find next item to play"

Here's my code in .strm file:

Code:
archiveurl = http://media-a505.firedrive.com/download/92/89354601f1d7eea77d58429fdada1933?h=lz3QFZ7li1ZSZGNxZmWBqQ&e=1398223600&f=BM.208.rar&domain=firedrive.com
encode(archiveurl)
rarurl = rar://archiveurl/bates.motel.s02e08.hdtv.x264-killers.www.tuserie.com.mp4

The http url is the direct for download or the normal link?
I need a little help Smile
Thanks adv

It should be the direct link. However - the problem seems to be with firedrive specifically, the download link you posted isn't working.

Yes, link updated:

Code:
http://media-a511.firedrive.com/download/07/61a7281bdab0f83c2f607cc2482b159d?h=YSXV6URDmZ60AgBCmDFGxw&e=1398386639&f=SLM.101.rar&domain=firedrive.com

Maybe because .rar stream on XBMC doesn't support file .mp4 ?
Thanks for the help!!!
Judging from the link, this is a "problem" with firedrive - the links are generated on request and are not static, probably also tied to some sort of cookie and/or referer header. MP4 should work fine, however I think the problem here is firedrive and it is unlikely to be resolved easily.

Ok, really thanks.
You know a way to get MEGA (aka megaupload) direct link?
Because i can't get it with Internet Download Manager, maybe by JD + IDM?
And other question please, this method really works? (stream from .rar archives)
Thanks for everything Big Grin
It definetly works - but usually not with those 1-Click-Hosters, MEGA included. They usually generate dynamic links, use Captchas, etc... I really don't think that you can get it to work with MEGA.

Oh thanks!! Can you give me a example of some work services/hosters to stream directly by .rar archives?
No, not really - I only ever used this feature in conjunction with usenet. Sorry :/
