which channels don't work for you? we can't find new links, if we don't know what to look for

blackoutworm's list - documentary channels ( animal planet, discovery, national geographic, history etc....) , many other channels from that list don't work anymore - movies, entertainment channels, sport channels ....

Seems your XBMC install is made in another userprofile and that has screwed it up.
If possible, un-install and re-install in the current profile.
Make sure you also delete the C:\Users\Rümy\AppData\Roaming\XBMC folder
before re-installing.

Edit:
Try to move the C:\Users\Rümy\Desktop\XBMC\new channels.xml file to the root of C instead,eg:
C:\new channels.xml
Perhaps XBMC/the script don't like file paths with foreign characters in them (Rümy)?

ATM i only have problem with the National geographic ones, the other mentioned above works for me.

Most SD channels play fine, however, the HD ones
are often down because of server overload.

Better 0ne working SD channel than 10 buffering HD ones.

At peakhour, most of these channels wont even start.

As a matter of fact, some SD channels is almost as good as the HD ones.
A good example is Discovery channel b from k1mo5's playlist.(Navi-X plugin)
That one rarely buffers and is a joy to watch.
It seems to be a scaled down HD channel to SD, where SD
is going at it's full potential.

The scaled down channels in blackoutworm's list,eg:
UK\ HISTORY CHANNEL HD(SD), etc.. unfortunately is unwatchable because
of blurred pixelation.
(But not the HD ones)
Dunno if this is a settings issue, but on my Nvidia ION rig these channels aren't working properly?

I moved the 2 files new channels.xml and HD tv.xml to

[["new channels", "C:\\new channels.xml"], ["HD TV", "C:\\HD TV.xml"]]

and edit the source file to the path above

-->script failed

Would some be so kind to help me via teamviewer

When composing these RMTP/rtsp in the XML. What happens if you run into random sessionID, or tokens in the URL stream? How does one go about adding that into the xml file?

Some characters may need to be 'url encoded', in the above the '/' in sessionid should be %2F.
