HOW-TO Play Live TV/Internet Video in XBMC (including some sample streams!)

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.

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.

I am having trouble getting xbmc to "see" the file. I have pasted the text for Al Jazeera English into notepad, save as AJ.strm, drop it in my videos folder. But when I go to open it in xbmc, it doesn't "see" it. I have tried this for Russia Today and Cspan as well and can't get any to work. I must be doing something fundamentally wrong.

Make sure you aren't in library mode.

Thanks, but it doesn't seem to work even when I am not in library mode. I just go to that directory and it is like there is nothing there. For example I have a folder with misc videos. I can go to that folder and see all of my videos, but if I put the strm file in there, I can't see it.

Weird... are you running at least XBMC 10.0? What platform?

yeah I am running 10.1 and using windows 7 (64 bit). I am using notepad to save these files. Just doing a save as *.strm where "*" is just the name of file. I have tried this using different skins thinking that could have something to do with it, but no luck.

Ah, you probably have Windows set to "Hide extensions for known file types" and the file you saved is actually called AJ.strm.txt

Disabled that feature, and rename the file to just "AJ.strm".

Thanks! I thought I was going crazy! Works like a charm now!

Danfred, you're good.

Can you figure out this one: http://www.alhiwar.tv
I tried all possibilities and could not figure it out.

This thread inspired me to make an add-on alternative to .strm files.

This one doesn't seem to work for me, it just launches IE in fullscreen mode with a "page cannot be found error".

Can Justin.TV links be parsed and broken down using rtmpdump? There are some channels I would really like to see in XBMC (CNN, MSNBC).
