Stream Apple Live Event on XBMC KODI this evening - how? [9-9-2015]
#1
Hi.

You can see here, that it is possible to paste the stream link into VLC on windows.

Can I do this on my Pi running XBMC Gotham?

Thank you!

You normally play URLS by creating a .strm file containing the URL. See:
http://kodi.wiki/view/Internet_video_and_audio_streams

Not certain if these stream play with kodi. Reading this suggests it might...

I appreciate your help.

Perhaps you will know how to I take it from here:

- I have opened the .m3u8 (followed the instructions from your link - thank you for that).

- found this, and I don't know what of these should I copy (where does it end, where does it start? Note: my TV is 1920x1080):

I was just suggesting creating a text file called apple.strm containing:
Code:
http://p.events-delivery.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1503ohibasdvoihbasfdv/m3u8/atv_mvp.m3u8

From kodi, play apple.strm

texturecache.py play "http://p.events-delivery.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1503ohibasdvoihbasfdv/m3u8/atv_mvp.m3u8"

should work.

Yes. Give the text file a .strm extension (e.g. apple.strm) and you should be able to play it through the video file browser.

I don't see any address in the html source - so you have to wait until the player shows up on that page
