Thanks a bunch !

I was trying to get some HINDI live channel on it as well. Any chance of you adding them?

The "name of Add-on" says it all bro!
otherwise he would have to rename his Add-on lol

strangely, xbmc notify that add-on updated successfully. but it is not!
At every startup it does say it, but the version still reads 1.0.4

btw, I did try the steps you mentioned earlier , but it does not do anything.
when i click get-Addon , it shows "downloading 0%" for a second, then disappears and nothing happens afterwards.

Edit : Finally managed to get it!
had some issues with my xbmc .. i deleted all the databases and recreated them.
now it got Pakee 1.0.5. ... and love the new Sport Section u added ... especially stuff about the Great IK!!! lol

From the log you sent it, not sure why but seems like it was trying to access version 1.0.4 from the xbmc servers at mirrors.xbmc.org. Since XBMC only keeps the latest version, it could not find it. I had a similar issue on my ipad when I was trying to update the plugin after I had originally installed it manually via zip file. Deleting the plugin dir resolved the issue for me, so I thought you might be encountering something similar.

Smile Actually the Sports section was always there...I just added the cricinfo section. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! I am not actively looking for streaming links to add as they as were unreliable. Actually even for the Pakistani ones I have up, yacir provided me the links and I just put them up. Have you tried the two below plugins for hindi channels:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=97116
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=115583

Do you already have a set of links? I can add the capability where users can add their own list of links, but I think the LiveStreams plugin already allows user to do this.

Thanks!

Hi guys,
I got a request to add some live streams from the below websites:
http://www.zonytv.com/geo-news-pakistan.html
http://www.saadtv.com/geo-news-live-geo-...online.htm

Can someone help with this? Whats the easiest way to figure out the rtmp stream link and parameters from a stream on website? If someone can point me to some docs/tutorials on this, I can also try

Thanks!

All the currently added live channels are under "Live TV Channels" category (on the first page of the plugin)
Geo used to work but looks like the stream link I was using before wasn't working...so I think that is the reason folks are sending in these requests.

Starting a request thread is a good idea but for live stream link requests, looks like there is already a lot of people reuqesting/fulfilling such requests on the LiveStreams pluign's thread
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=97116
For now, let me make the request on that thread and see how it goes.

I do not have any guide or tutorial, but i tell you what i do to get the rtmp links out of the stream

i use URL Helper V3 to get the rtmp link plus other info, for the given stream
you need to run it and select the Network Adapter to capture the incoming traffic, start listening and then simply open the url in browser.

for example, Aaj TV link : http://www.saadtv.com/aaj-news-live-onli...eaming.htm
i get : rtmp://178.86.20.88/aajnews<playpath>aajnews <swfUrl>http://www.eboundservices.com/live/player.swf <pageUrl>http://www.eboundservices.com:8888/users/aajnews/aajnews_iframe.html

and then I make an xml element in this format:

<item>
<title>Aaj News</title>
<link>rtmp://178.86.20.88/aajnews playpath=aajnews swfUrl="http://www.eboundservices.com/live/player.swf" pageUrl="http://www.eboundservices.com:8888/users/aajnews/aajnews_iframe.html"</link>
<thumbnail>http://www.aaj.tv/wp-content/themes/aaj/images/aaj_news_logo.png</thumbnail>
</item>


that is ok if you get the rtmp link ... but if you remember, i even asked you the question on how to get the actual stream link if the hosted site is actually using server side plalist i.e. *.wsx - [this is what the above GEO TV link is using]
I could not find the answer yet. Sad ... if you find something, plz do share with me.

Thanks yacir...I downloaded the URL helper and looks very easy to use.

So looks like saadtv.com is down now so we can't use it to extract the streams (not sure if this is temporary or permanent)
You are right: zoomtv uses mastv which uses wsx files which don't seem to be currently supported by XBMC

So looks like currently we don't have a way to stream Hum, Ary, etc in XBMC. If someone finds some other websites (which stream these using rtmp or mms format), please let us know

Btw I just realized that Geo also streams live on youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/user/geonews/featured

Here is the stream link that I got from URL helper...anyone know if we can convert this to XBMC friendly format?
http://o-o.preferred.comcast-lax1.v5.lsc...M13s&cm2=1

Thanks...as you can see from the other posts on this forum, we are looking into this. If you know of any websites that are streaming these channels (using rtmp or mms formats) please let us know and we will try to get them added

saadtv.com is up now, but unfortunately it also uses the same wsx link for Geo
this is what i got out f it : rtsp://46.105.99.171/datax/51.109.108.105.118.101.46.99.111.109.eSWItMPUpZBPWo.wsx

good to know about Geo Live youtube stream. they have recently started it and it is still in beta.
anyhow, here is the link live youtube stream : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOg5KS7M13s

i am not sure oif we can add it to LiveStream Addon. I am using it with xbmc youtube plugin and it works on my ATV2.
you can also utilize youtube plugin in your add-on. This is how I utilized it:
ActivateWindow(10025,&quot;plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?path=/root/playlists&amp;playlist=8C3E34EF50FA4224&amp;user_feed=playlist&amp;login=true&amp;&quotWink
