I'm having some difficulty to get xbmc to play streaming tv and streaming radio.
I found a reference in the boxee's user forum about adding mms:// sources to sources.xml and both boxee and XBMC are mentioned as if they both support this, so this is what I added to my Video section:
The entries show up in the Video GUI but when I select them, I get an error message "Could not connect to network server". These same links work fine in VLC
Same with these radios that I put in the Music section:
Am I doing something wrong? Maybe boxee supports this but not xbmc? Anyhow, how can I add my streaming tv links in xbmc?
Thanks - sorry if this is a basic question but I'm kind of lost. I can't find an explanation on how to do this in the wiki.
I don't use library mode
