The World News Live plugin brings live streams from News sources across the globe.


Latest Version: [Image: pluginver.pl?plugin=plugin.video.world.news.live] [Changelog]

Attention Canadian Users
There is another plugin in the repository called Canada On Demand which contains a huge amount of Canadian content. the forum thread can be found here.


Installation
The plugin is available through its own repository. To install it, download this zip file.

thnx. I also miss the ability to easily add my own streams through the GUI. Can you also note that as a feature request?

Stupid question I think ... How is this different from the Livestream Plugin?

100+ video files can all be found on my blog: Beachfront B-Roll. All are free.
The clips are a simple "Right click, save" and there is no signup or registering required either.

1.1.0 is out now and you can add your own streams Smile

you can even import them from the same XML file that "That other Plugin" uses. Smile

@beachfront its not much different I guess, I didn't know that one existed when I wrote this one.

I'll be adding a bunch more channels soon.

Cnn 1 doesn't work for me. I just get a black screen. Not a big deal as I just wanted Al-Jazeera. Thanks!
