eg maybe someone could comment on how you update the plugin from this working feed

http://www.zahistations.com/watch-cnbc-live

Code:
<embed flashvars="file=http://media4.lsops.net/live/cnbc_en_high.sdp/playlist.m3u8&autostart=true&provider=http://www.cool-tv.net/ch/etc/adaptiveProvider.swf&stretching=uniform&controlbar=over" provider="http://www.cool-tv.net/ch/etc/adaptiveProvider.swf" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" id="player1" name="player1" wmode="transparent" src="http://www.cool-tv.net/ch/etc/player.swf" width="600" height="400" __idm_id__="1969274881">

How do I update channels.py parameters?

Code:
class CNBC(BaseChannel):
    playable = True
    short_name = 'cnbc'
    long_name = 'CNBC'
    default_action = 'play_stream'

    def action_play_stream(self):
        self.plugin.set_stream_url('rtmp://media7.lsops.net/live/ playpath=cnbc_en_high.sdp swfUrl="http://www.livestation.com/flash/player/5.4/player.swf" pageUrl="http://www.livestation.com/en/cnbc" swfVfy=true live=true')

Can you pull what you need from the HTML source or do I have to do network sniffing?

Install the repo if you want from https://github.com/k3oni/repository.k3oni.xbmc and it will auto update the add-on every time i make a change.
If you want to update the stream yourself just edit the channels.py file and change "rtmp://media7.lsops.net/live/" to "rtmp://media4.lsops.net/live/" .

I am in the US and works fine currently but there are times when it stops working for a bit, it's a bit tricky as well to find a reliable stream for it and the current stream are the ones that worked for the longer time.

@smpn You're welcome, good to know.

How do I change the DNS resolvers?
Also, is there a way to get HD streams from RT?

What OS are you using, apple tv? If yes see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/425...0&tstart=0

Not anymore. Crystalbuntu now.

In that case you will have to try and ssh into the OS and edit resolv.conf and put the new DNS servers in there.
You cab try using the google public dns servers: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 .

Hey k3oni

Thanks for the awesome plugin! RT (Russia Today) seems to have stopped working - love this channel... any ideas? Says 'Playback Failed' it was working up to about 2/3 days ago.

Running XBMCbuntu, plugin version 1.2.9 with auto-update from your repo. Al-Jazeera works no probs. I have edited etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base and added:

Code:
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.8.4

Log file says:

Quote:ERROR: RTMP_Connect0, failed to connect socket. 110 (Connection timed out)

Sorry I don't know how to do that. The page says "Install as a zip in XBMC" am I supposed to download the two files from github, zip them into a file, and then add that zip file in XBMC add-ons?

I wish XBMC was a little more user friendly I'm so tired of all this hacking.......

Thank you

* EDIT: I see on that github page there is a button "Download repository as zip file" which I then installed in XBMC and I have your repo now thank you

Changing it from media7 to media4 didn't fix it Confused

Neither of the CNBC nor Bloomberg streams have worked for at least a few weeks. I think CNN still works. I'll make a list of everything that works & doesnt work for you right now. There's a dedicated Bloomberg video plugin that works (offical repo?), at least Live Stream does, but I don't know how to fix this plugin from that other code.

Currently do not work:

ABC News 24 (Australia)
Al Jazeera English & Arabic (only High Def links work, none of the other quality links)
* might be nice if there was one "Al Jazeera" menu item and then submenu English High Def + Arabic High Def
Bloomberg
CNBC
CNN 2
CSPAN 2 (temporary?)
Euronews (English)
Press TV

Currently working:

Al Jazeera (high def only)
BBC (both feeds World News/News)
CNN 1
CSPAN 1, 3
Euronews (French)
France 24 (English & French)
NADA HD
RT (English & Spanish & Arabic)
Sky News International

So there's a lot of broken stuff.... sorry I can't be more helpful. I think Bloomberg and CNBC can be made to work from other sources, and it would be nice if the remaining broken channels were removed from the list (Press TV? ABC Aus?)

Huh... RT is working for you?? It's not for me :-( I can get it to work on my PC's which makes me think it's not a country problem. AlJazeera Low Definition works well for me as well as High Definition.

Yup all 3 RT feeds (English, Spanish, Arabic) working fine here, just checked again
XBMC 12.1 on Ubuntu (Intel Atom), Canada

That's so strange! I checked all my RT's and none are working. Did a complete remove of the app and re-install from the repo, all installs well just doesn't work on RT...

Installed the same build of XBMC on my Windows 8 laptop, installed World News Live plugin from the repo and guess what - RT works!!

No idea why it's suddenly stopped working on the XBMCbuntu machine... I'm in Canada too by the way!

Do you have different resolvers on the two machines by any chance?

I am going to push a couple updates for some of the streams in the next hour.

Thanks looks like you fixed Bloomberg, haven't checked the others

Thanks for the reply. All of my xbmc's have the same DNS addresses. The only difference i can see is that two of my machines are apple tv 2's which both work fine. The xbmcbuntu is the one causing the problem with not playimg russia today.

I am running xbmc on ubuntu on both the VMs and the htpc. Can you post the xbmc.log lines when RT is trying to start?
