Does your link play from a .strm file? Looks like the player doesn't know how to handle a .cgi. You might try adding ?mjpg or ?mjpeg to the end of your link. eg:
Code:
http://admin:admin@192.168.1.104/cgi/mjpg/mjpg.cgi?mjpeg

PatK Wrote:Lovely job... and Fish Oil, thanks for the cut&paste. This collection has potential, just wondering if holding the icons local might prove a better solution. Hate to lose a stream on a sticky icon.

If you want to use local icons you can do this:
Code:
<thumbnail>special://home/userdata/my_icons/cnn_hd.png</thumbnail>

Where 'special://home' is your user xbmc directory.

@divingmule or anyone (technical) can answer this:

I searched google and xbmc forums to no avail.

Objective: use VPN (not proxy) to watch country specific content (with country's specific IP addresses).

How do you invoke VPN configuration by xml, or some other methods within AppleTV2?

I understand AppleTV2 doesn't have a built-in VPN client. I understand there is router (DD-WRT router) method or share VPN connection via computers.

Your help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

@avis and myXBMC
I suggest you both start new threads. Your more likely to get help.Wink

avis, You should ask your original question in the general help and support forum. myXBMC, you should try the apple support forum.

Pretty much any video stream. Finding the actual playback url and formatting it for xbmc is the hard part. This post explains it well and there are more links posted their as well.
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=93280

Here is one for local weather from the weather channel.
hxxp://v.imwx.com/v/wxflash/a_city.flv eg:
Code:
http://v.imwx.com/v/wxflash/dallas.flv

US National Weather
Code:
http://v.imwx.com/v/wxflash/national.flv

I'm not sure but I think southeast,northeast ect... will work also.
