XBMC Stream Playlist.
#1
Hey there, I'm new in here and in need of your help!

I XBMC on Windows 7 laptop. Because of a change in signal in our country, my TV can no longer receive normal channels. My provider have a online streaming service too, and instead of changing tv, I would like to use my laptop connected to my tv, to watch tv. My problem is however, that after copying the URL from the channel, making a .STRM file and pasting the URL in it, it opens fine in XBMC, but I cant press next to change to next channel. I have tried searching online, but the solution seems to complicated for me. When I press next, it says "Can't find a next Item to play".

I figure I need to make a Playlist, but I dont understand the mechanics of the build-in one of XBMC.

Is it possible to make a single file, containing a text like this:

type=video
name=DR1
URL=http://DR1online.m3u8
swfVfy=true
live=true

type=video
name=DR2
URL=http://DR2online.m3u8
swfVfy=true
live=true

And so on, making it possible for me to switch back and forth through the channels, like you would on a normal tv.

Help would be appreciated, and dont hessitate to ask if I havent made enough info.

Kind regards.

Well those aren't even valid URLs - your TV company doesn't occupy the m3u8 TLD!!!

I know its not valid urls, I made those up from what I could find around on the forum. I didnt want to risk violating any rules by posting the urls of my Provider.

How about answering the question instead?

Ok I see.

I think you might need something like the iptv-smple pvr addon. Take a look at that and see if it does what you want.

Ps love the Danish TV I have seen. Borgen, The Killing, I assume from your 'made up' urls that you are in Denmark? Aren't there addons for a lot of Danish TV anyway?

You should see The Hunt. Its a nice danish movie.

Yes there are addons for Danish TV, but its not possible to change channel in those either. Besides, Tommy Winther, who made alot of the addons, are having trouble keeping the addons running.

I'll look at iptv-smple pvr addon, thanks!

Cant get the Iptv addon to work. And when looking for a guide, I get alot of russian stuff.

Any other ideas?

Okay, so I came up with a solution, I made a .M3U file, or I found a made done .M3U file, copied it and deleted the text. I then wrote the following text:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:1,DR 1
http://DR1online.m3u8
#EXTINF:2,DR 2
http://DR2online.m3u8
#EXTINF:3,DR 3
http://DR3online.m3u8

Dont know how, or why, but this did the trick. It now works as a playlist, with forward and backwards. The only thing I am missing, is a way to add a picture to the channels, like the picture of DR1. Anyone know how to incoorperate that in the above text?
