If you are using PC/ Mac, just find the XML file where you save.

If you are using ATV2, SSH to your ATV.

There is a thread somewhere here in this forum which list all the HD channels, quite good but demands fast internet connection.

I still use .strm files for my livestreams cuz it's usually pretty easy but I got one livestream that I really want and can't create a .strm file that will work so if someone will help I would be in major debt to you.

http://www.tikilive.com/show/classic-rock

I usually can get my .strm files created and working but this one has got me screwed up. Below is what I pulled from URL helper. thanx

rtmp://fms2.tikilive.com:1935/view/23997_302<playpath>stream23997 <swfUrl>http://www.tikilive.com/public/flash/viewerModules/player/PlayerModule.swf?version=2.1.5 <pageUrl>http://www.tikilive.com/show/classic-rock

motley28: I tried to get it to play but couldn't

I did some sniffs

Code:
DEBUG: Property: <Name:               code, STRING:    NetStream.Play.Reset>
DEBUG: Property: <Name:        description, STRING:    Playing and resetting 23997_301/stream23997.>
DEBUG: Property: <Name:            details, STRING:    

23997_301/stream23997>
so the playpath is "23997_301/stream23997"


I still couldn't get the stream to play.

rtmp://fms3.tikilive.com:1935/view

is the rtmpurl i get(fms3 rather then fms2). swfurl and pageurl are the same as the invoke packet.

I am still unable to play in xbmc it shows a stream not found error. this is usually when the playpath is wrong but I logged the whole thing and it seems all the parameters are correct.

it was weird because when I connected with debugging I could see that they are actually using youtube cache as the source of their videos.


I also monitored all the AMF communication which is how the rtmp link is sent to the client. I got all the orginal data is sent. It also uses a rtmp server for chat.

Code:

I was surprised when I saw your username in the rtmp logs at first till I realized it was the chat session.

I went back and used rtmpexplorer instead of URLhelper and this is what i got out of it

app: aggregator/23997/
swfUrl: http://www.tikilive.com/aggregator/23997/
pageUrl: http://www.tikilive.com/show/classic-rock
flashVer: WIN 11,1,102,55
tcUrl: rtmp://fms.tikilive.com/aggregator/23997/

I am not by any means a python programmer, but I've been able to do some modifying of codes to get stuff(xbmc) to work on my atv2 and atv1. Mostly using what you guys as templates and grinding it out till something clicks. I'm gonna go back and try a different .strm file and see what happens. Let me know if you come up with something. I found this site (tikilive) when I was trying to figure out the rtmpgui addon, and was skimming through

http://apps.ohlulz.com/rtmpgui/list.xml

to try and find livestreaming sites to create my own .strm files. thanx for the help.
Like I said I'm no python pro but does the aggregator part of the link have something to do with it? Is that some sort of redirect?

oops think I put an extra 9 in swfUrl above but I just deleted it.

the aggregator/23997/ url isn't the video link it the chat server.

I kept running into that problem too.


I sniffed the AMF request and got this.

rtmp://fms2.tikilive.com:1935/view/23997_311/stream23997

seems the be the for the video. The other url is just a chat server.

I still can't seem to get the thing to play even. I think we have all the information we need. I just get a stream not found error. when I sniff it though I see the playpath I posted.

I am a little confused.

- motley28 - 2012-01-31 10:25

Yeah I was getting something like NS Stream not found or something can't remember exact error it was warping my brain for an hour and a half. I had to step away for a bit. Bummer cuz I like the videos though it was only playing OZZY for the past 24 hours. Don't get me wrong I love the Prince of Darkness but was hoping some other vids would play.
