canadave Wrote:Hi all,

Please pardon my stupidity here...I'm a little confused about how to use this addon. Am I supposed to be downloading an XML file from somewhere? And if so, how should the addon settings be set so that I use it? I'm sure it's quite simple, I just don't seem to have it figured out--I keep reading about different XML files, so I'm confused.

Like, what does the "use community stream" button do? Is that better than using some other XML file? I'd say about 90% of the streams I see aren't working, too...which is why I was wondering if I'm using the wrong file?

the community stream is for loading a xml form your pc, look at my post on page 93 Smile

should be all info you will need

Hi,

Quick update,

Fresh install of Dharma 10.1 (on my laptop)
XPSP3
default skin\settings etc

Installed livestreams addon and downloaded xml on p93.

Pointed livestreams to the xml.

Tried to stream all the sports chanels and was greeted with the previous error.
Tried to stream hbo, nothing happened, not even a "loading" icon or error?

Other channels work OK such as the CW and showtime, however others do not?

Hmm.. Confused

Is there anything else i can do to help understand this issue, would a log file help if i can knock one out? Do i need to do anything regarding updating certain files or options etc?

Amazing!

truly appreciate the work your putting in, this is fantasic for uk users as we now have a definitve and specific list of channels that work and that is priceless.

Just noticed, Livestremas has an option for mirrors for certain channels in the options, is it possible to have lists of fallback or mirrors for it to chose from incase one is down again?

Thanks again,

will test as soon as its up Nod

New channel list :) - LordPhil - 2011-10-03 20:51

Some new channels too

As to the fall back mirrors etc will look into this, i am still pretty new to doing this though not new to learning lol

I have tried and tested these channels on win7 and the xbox original, and worked a treat.
And following a request from earlier i have added "speed" to the sports section

Following channels do not work yet:
(In the tv section)BBC1, BBC2, CHANNEL 4, CHANNEL 5, CBS(has abc stream), STARZ, TBS and CARTOON NETWORK

Hi,

HBO and Plus work for me Nod

Amazing... Really appreciate that one..

However the only sports channels that work are ESPN and Speed ... the rest of the sports channels fail with the same error as before? i've tried them again and again? is there something extra i need to do or should this work on a default install totally as standard... Oo

ooh,
I tested the test channels too and only the first one worked.. the 2nd and third both failed.

Great work so far though and its nearly all working, amazing work and soooo appreciated!

Thanks again, and if you can help me with the sports (when you get time) id sincerely appreciate it.

Thanks again,

- LordPhil - 2011-10-03 21:37

ignore the test channels i just use that section solely for testing, then when channel works get moved to different section, as for sports section, i am aware of it but am hoping someone can tell me where to find the live streams or atleast the website playing them as i stated eaerlier they are hard to find as seem not to be working anywhere at the mo, and trust me i have been looking all day lol. lost all my hair in process but did find some more channels for each section Smile

I will be looking for more and adding soon so keep checking back here, any and all help will be welcomed appreciated too

Hi,

mypremium.tv has working sky links...

Are they compatible with the kivestreams format etc? Or are they not possible to pull from the site?

I can watch them in a browser which is ok I suppose, but it means leaving xbmc and going to my browser and blah blah blah.. Laugh

If you can find a way to get them in then that will be awesome. Keep up the good work, I think many here really appreciate what your doing. Nod

Cheers,
