I'm trying to get the hang of using livestreams. I want to add the url as a source such as blackoutworms which will automatically update the list of channels - is it correct to add it as a source?

If so, when I've tried adding a source the plugin fails to open the new source. I go to add on settings, choose add source, select url and enter the url address - in the case of blackoutworm i added the source as http://www.home.no/chj191/LiveTV.xml clicked on add source and name the channel.

Am i doing something wrong?

Thanks
Manny

anyone?

What you are trying to add is a xml list of channels so you cant stream them as a URL because are several links in 1 page... you should save the list in .xml and open it in the stream add-on you use as a file not url.

Hope it helps.

Barcelonaboy, good work. Just one thing: the thumbnail urls are referencing your local atv filesystem, so they won't appear for anyone else

For a few of the channels I was tracking it seems that for ustream links the server number changes quite a bit, so the streams stop working. The rest of the link stays the same. Is that what you guys see as well?

looking at the link i fixed, what changed were the app/file name and the number in the swfUrl. How often that changes i couldn't say since i don't have anything in my own lists from ustream. it could also depend on where the source is from. if you have the actual ustream page link, you can use this nifty little php-script i found online ustream converter. just add the pageUrl and you're good to go.
