I have been using strm files to store all my tv shows online and stream them to my computer and apple tv, but all of a sudden yesterday they stopped working in XBMC, i figured i would try them in vlc but they wont work there either, I made an rss feed for each show with the .strm files in them and have tried to play my videos from the rss feed and from local .strm files, neither of them are working anymore. When i select one of the .strm files, it starts "working" and after a few seconds, just goes back to doing nothing, no error message or anything, just sits there. I dont know whats going on, please help if you can. There is nothing in the log files about this because it's not coming up with an error. Thanks, Nick
Update: I have tried using a direct link to the video file and it still does not work, i.e. added http://www.myfiles.com/blahblah.mkv to an rss and tried to play it, but it doesn't play that way either. I would think that it doesn't support the network protocol of the storage option I'm using but it worked before. So i see no reason why all of a sudden, it doesn't work.
