Hi everyone,
I really love XBMC, but one thing doesn't work very fine, HLS support is even better on Boxee, simply with url, no local proxy. Full support on XBMC, Just a dream?

What is it?

HTTP Live Streaming.

I don't know about what Boxee does HLS wise that XBMC doesn't (I gave them the proverbial middle finger back when they dropped PC for set top boxes they don't even profit from) but if XBMC is lacking somehow, then I guess it needs to be addressed.

AES should be supported in master, came in with the ffmpeg bump. boxee uses its own code, but we don't want to go there, when we have an upstream maintaining it for us.

From research that I did a while back, it seemed that in order to get the HTTPS streams you needed to have ffmpeg compiled with gnutls or openssl. Does this mean you no longer need this, and XBMC should support these streams by default? This would be terrific. According to divingmule, the developer of the MLBMC add-on, the HLS feeds from MLB.TV use HTTPS.

i'm sure you still have to build your ffmpeg like that...

Is there a reason that XBMC cannot have ffmpeg compiled with gnutls by default? From my understanding (which is limited) it would not cause a licensing issue, but could/would it cause a performance issue? It would be a shame to have to run custom builds of XBMC just for an add-on.

no reason. but somebody needs to do the work, confirm that it works on all platforms, then send the diffs.

I don't know about AES but standard HLS (using http:// URLs) work just fine even in Frodo.

Guys I was also hoping for this support for another feed. Is there anyway to get xbmc to play it as yet?

Bumping this one as it seem appropriate for my question.

Is it correct that HLS streams with AES encryption is supported on Linux and Windows but not on Apple TV?

Running XBMC 13.1 on a ATV2 I cannot playback this stream* but it does work on Linux and Windows (13.1).
