Here are some specific examples. These are the URL's (with paramaters) you'll want to put in your .strm file.

RT.com English (I'm assuming RT stands for Russia Today or something similar?):
Code:
rtmp://fms5.visionip.tv/live app=live swfUrl=http://rt.com/s/swf/player5.4.viral.swf pageURL=http://rt.com/on-air/ playpath=RT_3 live=true

Thanks for the tips and links. Aljazeera and ISS work fine but the RT News doesnt seem to work. Am I supposed to alter the code or does it work as it is?

These are the News channels that I was able to get to work on XBMC. It's quite a collection now!

Press TV
Code:
rtmp://presstv.fc.llnwd.net/presstv/PressTV swfUrl=http://www.presstv.ir/live/llnw/LLNWPlayer.swf playpath=PressTV app=PressTV live=true

Al-Alam
Code:
rtmp://184.107.48.217/live swfUrl=http://www.alalam-news.com/sites/www.alalam-news.com/modules/alalam_flowplayer/flowplayer.commercial-3.2.2.swf playpath=alalam1 app=live live=true

RT English
Code:
rtmp://fms5.visionip.tv/live app=live swfUrl=http://rt.com/s/swf/player5.4.viral.swf pageURL=http://rt.com/on-air/ playpath=RT_3 live=true

RT Arabic
Code:
rtmp://russiatoday.fms.visionip.tv/rt/Russia_al_yaum_1000k_1 app=rt/Russia_al_yaum_1000k_1 swfUrl=http://arabic.rt.com/style/liveplayer.swf pageURL=http://arabic.rt.com/live_high playpath=1000k_1 live=true

France 24 Arabic
Code:
rtmp://stream2.france24.yacast.net:80/france24_live/frda playpath=f24_livefrda app=france24_live/frda pageURL=http://www.france24.com/fr/aef_player_popup/france24_player swfUrl=http://www.france24.com/fr/sites/all/modules/maison/aef_player/flash/player.swf live=true

If someone can get the code for Euronews that would be great. I cannot seem to get the RTMP URL Sad

Has anyone had any luck getting the cnn live feeds to work?

Also another great url atm to get working in XBMC would be NHK World broadcast which is covering the Japan tragedy.

http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/r/movie/ is the link for the flash.

thanks

Have you considered setting up a repository on Github or Sourceforge to maintain the .strm files?

I'd be interested in developing/hosting the index for this. Maintaining and hosting the strm files on a server is better in case the stream changes.
Living Room: Dell Optiplex 755 / Intel C2D E6550 / 4GB Ram / NVIDIA GT 430 / LiteOn BD-ROM / Harmony 700 / XBMC B2 on Win 8 Pro
Bedroom: Dell Optiplex 755 / Intel C2D E6550 / 4GB Ram / NVIDIA GT 520 / LiteOn BD-ROM / Harmony 650 / XBMC B2 on Win 8 Pro
Windows Home Server: Intel Core i3-2100T / 8GB Ram / 32TB / MySQL / StableBit DrivePool on WHS 2011

It's a bit of work... this listing are almost identical to the lists I used to keep for an early version of Miro, I had 300+ and left them on the site... went back too look and everything has changed. Would be nice if someone would write a program that would buffer and allow graceful exits from dead links.

Heh, we need a "watson-lite" not only to remove the dead links but also create the new ones......Which I bet someone will code in the near future.
