Hello,

have been trying to play the following live stream on my apple tv what I have done is pasted this stream on my desktop and then saving it as .strm file and then putting into my apple tv sharing other streams work but this keeps on giving a message " one or more items failed to play check log file for details"

I have also noticed that when I enter this url on my computer the stream doesnt start automatically there is a play button that has to be clicked on..
could that be teh reason ?? is there anyway to automate a play string when I try to save this file as .strm file ??

here is the live stream url...unfortunately this stram is only active on sundays between 10am and noon standard eastern time incase anybody wants to try..

the stream is as follows..

http://vovcanada.com/library/sunday-service-live/

I'm honestly stabbing in the dark right now, but you can try one of these URLs:

http://static-cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/live/viewer:14.swf

http://static-cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/live/v...&vrsl=c:23

http://static-cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/live/v...rsl:23.swf

The link you've provided, http://vovcanada.com/library/sunday-service-live/, is the link to the web page, and XBMC can't play this because it's an HTML page not a video stream. You need to know the link to the video stream. There's no straightforward way to find the link to the stream because web sites generally make it hard for you to play streams without using their web site.

In this case a look at the HTML behind the web page reveals that the stream address is:

Code:
http://static-cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/live/viewer:14.swf?cid=5541/vishnu-mandir-videos-179216&amp;vrsl=c:23

But, life never being simple, the stream uses compressed SWF and XBMC can't play compressed SWF. So you can't watch it in XBMC anyway. The best you could do is use the technique described in http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...nal_player to open the web page from XBMC.

silly rabbit, atv2 is arm not x86 and most certainly runs iOS and not windows. No way iexplore.exe is there .

Does the ATV2 have a browser? I would have guessed not.

If the ATV2 does have a browser then the method you've used will work, but you need to replace "c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" by the ATV2 browser executable.

Hello,

Sorry for this questions I dont even know if my atv has browser is there any way to find out ?? also is there any way to make this work with a different external player or anyway to add a browser to atv2..??thx for your assistance..

davilla · 2011-11-22, 19:31

there is no browser on the atv2 that you can use for an external player.
