Trying to create STRM files.
#1
I am a newbie, and have searched the forum. I have not been able to figure this out, but have to get these working before my wife will let me ditch DirecTV.

WoodTV8 News (Local for me) -
<iframe src="http://new.livestream.com/accounts/1853498/events/1645986/player?width=1920&height=1080&autoPlay=true&mute=false" width="1920" height="1080" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"> </iframe>

Fox 17 News -
http://fox17online.com/on-air/live-streaming/

WZZM 13 -
http://archive.wzzm13.com/video/livestream/live.aspx

Any help would be appreciated.

*I have tried URLSniffer and couldn't figure out which results I needed.

OK so I figured out part of one of them, but it is not a very good solution.

refers to

rtsp://212-123.livestream.com:8080/livestreamiphone/1853498_1645986_37fbd508_1_198@188541

This plays at a very low resolution though. I am trying to get the rtsp to play at at least 480, preferably HD though.

Well no one is very helpful on here. I had hoped that fellow xbmc users would be more understanding about wanting local channels.

Your links are geoblocked it has to be someone from your location/country to help you.
Moreover, your question is not xbmc related (even though you're trying to play them in xbmc) and even less with xbmc video addons (the subforum in which you posted your question).

Your question has to do with stream url grabbing, rtmp links, how to get rtmp links. There are better foruns or communities to ask for help on that area. One of them is stream-recorder: (http://stream-recorder.com/forum/). And some good tools/tutorials on the web. If you are new this area and run windows I advise this tool, it's pretty easy and straightforward:

http://www.urlhelper.com/ (it is not freeware but you have a trial period which is far enough for your needs)

Just play the stream on your browser at the same time the program is running on the background. Then format the stream variables to something xbmc can understand.

Example:
in urlhelper you'll get something like this: <playpath>mystream.blablabla
in xbmc you should use: playpath=mystream.blablalba

Thank you for the response, I also found that using rtsp://212-123.livestream.com:8080/livestreamiphone/1853498_1645986_37fbd508_1_1756@188541 - gives me HD, but stutters or shows no video on xbmc.
