Add stream to XBMC
#1
Noob here and could use some help. Can someone help me figure out how add this site so I can view it in XBMC? I'm sure it's not too difficult, but I sure am stumped. A little more information if it makes any difference is that I'm running Frodo on Raspbmc.

Not a lot of help here, but I finally figured it out on my own. Just add the following in notepad and save it as a .strm file. Open it XBMC under Video>>Files and it works like a charm.

This wiki article talks about how to add video/audio streams to playlists, as you've already figured out: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Int...io_streams

The "how to add a stream to XBMC" is the easy part; the trick is coming up with the underlying direct URL for a given stream and that's not always easy to do since the provider often obfuscates this so users don't bypass their website and ads. Since your request was for adding a specific stream, rather than how to do it in general, that may explain why you hadn't received any responses in the 26 hours since your initial post. Anyway, I'm glad you were able to figure out the URL for your stream.
