Bump for status.
I'd like to know what is needed from ffmpeg and to what degree this branch currently works. Does stream selection not work at all, or does it only work with limitations?
Thanks.

without supporting code, you will be using a random stream variant (first encountered) AND you will be downloading all the streams as there's no code to disable those you don't want..

any reason these changes weren't pushed in upstream?

I see the ticket is still open? Is there any update on supporting http live/dynamic streaming as there seems to be a lot of it cropping up in paid for services (particularly sports based), any info would be great, thanks guys

Thought I'd bump this and see what the latest status is on HTTP Live Streaming. When someone gets a moment, can you describe if XBMC supports HLS, and if so, to what extent? Reason I ask is I feed in a .m3u8 HLS playlist file and it spins with the "watching..." dialog and nothing plays back (using Frodo alpha 6 on windows 7 32-bit).

It's been supported since Eden. Master playlists containing multiple streams was added to git a couple of months ago or so I think

No clue why it's not working then... I use the same URL in my iphone and it streams fine whereas that same URL in XBMC spins with the watching... dialog.
