Hi i'm little bit new over here and i have a stream that i want to play it in xbmc on atv2 it's an http paid stream that only can be played by ip adress and authorization so i want to know how do i need to do to pass this parameter in the xml file
the adress is like this:
http://adressofthestreamid=number&ip=anadress&auth=key

so when i try to run it in xbmc it give me an error because he gonna add ; after a specific indication the adress like this

Is there a easy plugin for Al Jazeera Arabic to install like the one for Al Jazeera English?

Could someone help me please? I've XBMC on my Apple TV 2G

I've created a STRM file with the following URL

Quote:rtmp://livestfslivefs.fplive.net/livestfslive-live/ playpath=aljazeera_ar_veryhigh app=aljazeeraflashlive-live live=true

xbmc can't see the file when I browse to it on my network share, I've copied file on the Apple TV where I can browse to /var/mobile/applications and even then I can't select the file as it is not there.

What am I doing wrong?

Great topic. I hope one of you can help me with one stream I really would love to see on my TV. It's located at http://www.scheveningenlive.nl/beach2stream.html. I've been able to get the other streams mentioned in this topic working just not this one. I've tried various tools (including rtmpdump, Wireshark, URL Snooper, Replay Media Catcher, etc) but just can't get it to work. It seems I have all the parts of the puzzle, but can't figure out how to put them together. Can someone please have a look? It would make my day. Thanks!

Fixed it. I had a typo in my code.

Just out of interest for those who use .strm files - Convergence has an easy way of presenting upto 6 shortcuts for them on the main menu.

HELP! My code (see above) already stopped working after a few days and I can't find out why. I'm trying to find out whether they changed something. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

please help I cannot get the XMBC to see my .strm file( i have already unchecked the hide extensions box in xp). What am I doing wrong?
