I am making my first steps in XBMC add-in development and this is what I have in mind:
This would be an audio plugin (ie, for Music section). The add-on would give access to the live audio streams of my country's radio stations and also program archives for the stations that have them.
So far so good, I started from the plugin development tutorial http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...s_for_XBMC
The tutorial code contains basic subfolder and link adding, what would be just enough for my purposes.
However, I tripped on this problem: I'd like to add also live video streams for those radio stations that have them. So I tried adding one to the list:
addLink('Live video', 'mms://lr1wv.latvijasradio.lv/pplr1v', '')
Clicking on this link in XBMC interface gives me the audio, but fails to show the video. It seems like XBMC understands that this is a video content, because it doesn't jump to the audio visualisation screensaver as it does when the audio stream is loaded.
I wanted to know this has something to do with the installed codecs, or other XBMC configuration, or the way I add the link in the add-in code. Perhaps there's something bad with the stream itself? Can you give me some video stream url that is known for sure that it works?
