Online movies collections - is this possible? - parslej - 2012-03-28

I've colleciton of links to online streamed movies.
I wonder if there is a way to manage them inside XBMC in the way similar to normal avi files I have on my HDD.

Eg can I can make txt / xml/ nfo file for each movie/link - then I'd like to browse them similar to local avi files
(so I can have sample folders trialas, documents etc an under those links visible by XBMC as 'normal' movies)

Would this be feasible ?

Yes.

You can create .strm files (search for that here and you will find enough hits) Wink

yep, STRM (wiki) files

Great to hear that!

However I've just tried that: created text .strm file, put this example link inside:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHsVbptb1RU

And XBMC doesnt want to play it... Sad

What I'm doing wrong ?

A youtube URL is not a stream-url or a media-url.

Not sure if you can pass plugin urls into STRM files - you should give it a try...

in the strm file you need to put the link of that movie you can use urlsnooper to sniff it once you find it try to run it into vlc and copy the stream from VLC it's gonna be something like this

i think it's an ip adress depend link i don't know if it gonna work at your end but you need to do it by yourself and this file gonna play in a .strm file

Sure you can hulu plugin does it and so does a few others.


Code:
plugin://plugin.video.hulu/?mode="TV_play"&url="40020422"&videoid="336208"&eid="JRhc-Y5cas8BTJMG6WUu-Q"

there is also a program on here called mylibrary that makes strm files from
many of the plugins for you and adds them to your video library with all
the info. even music videos.. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=98210]MyLibrary
