How to create your own video sources using exiting rss video feed online
Using Xbmc Video> “Add sources” feature

I am using :
Video>Add sources> Enter “rss feed”

Most Rss feed I found start with http://, not Rss:// (I try change it to Rss://, video don’t work also)
CNBC Video RSS feed
http://www.cnbc.com/id/19838222/device/rss/rss.html
CNN.com - Video
http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_freevideo.rss
WSJ.com Video - News
http://feeds.wsjonline.com/wsj/video/news/feed

How to make it work ?

Also , Can I use this method to incert a live video stream feed for http://www.bloomberg.com/tv/ , Or cnbc tv live ?

(I don't want to wait for the addon since these video sources are free already online)

Is there any solution for this? I'd like to add a few CBN RSS video feeds.

I second this request. I have been searching for how to add an RSS feed. In particular I have been trying to add CNBC's Mad Money. I can't get this to work.

Here is the feed. I can add it but nothing is showing up.

many rss feeds only link to the page and not the video itself.

you have to write something to resolve the playback url for xbmc to play anything.
