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?

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:
