Question about video streams and playlists... - giftie - 2011-04-23

I am wondering if there is a specific way that video streams should be added to a playlist(using xbmc.PlayList().add()

Is a 'User Agent' needed to be added to the url or is the url just fine?

Cinema Experience uses the URLs for movie trailers(provided from XBMC's Database) and added them to a playlist combining local videos and these streamed videos. Some users(I think all of them use a Windows OS) are reporting XBMC freezing up when these streams start in the playlist. I'm hoping that I can find the answers if I am improperly adding streams.

Thanx
