hey guys, i've created a big package of strm files (i.e., no script needed) for 225+ different tv stations/feeds in 71 countries. the list is sorted through folders by country for halfway-easy reference. i got tired one night (after the long-dead xsp stream-pack plugin lost its saved addresses) and decided to create this for the betterment of everyone who just wants to stream world television without getting fancy about it.

it's based from many different large lists on the web (after reading asx files right and left to get the mms:// addresses for most) and i tested almost all the streams on the pc to make sure they're at least up and running; i can't vouch for all working in xbmc, but i can tell you that there can't be too many non-working streams. if you find any that are positively not working at all, drop a line in this thread. also, so far all the streams in my pack are windows media only. (see below for my questions on rm streaming.)

file: xbmc-tv.zip

just throw it all in a "tv" folder on your xbox and add the appropriate bookmark under "video" in xboxmediacenter.xml. you're set. anyone who can add onto this growing list with real working world tv station feeds (i.e., no live webcams, random video clips, or crap like that), please feel free to help! also, feel free to pass the archive around and enjoy. it's just my way of giving back to a community that gave my xbox a new life.

anyone familiar with streaming realmedia through the rtsp:// protocol on the xbmc (or is there just a problem with rm playback in the 05-28 t3ch build)? got a sample file you could paste? if i can get that figured out, the number of stations i can add and release would rise dramatically. thanks in advance on that.

Hey all, sorry for the lack of an update here until now. I updated the pack to 442 channels in 102 countries over the course of this week, and it can be obtained at:

http://www.op9.net/files/XBMC/XBMC-TV.zip

To use:

1. Extract ZIP into a directory on your PC/Mac.
2. Upload that directory to the Xbox (on mine, F:\)
3. Add source under "My Videos" for the directory
4. You should be all set at this point. Enjoy!

Most streams have been personally verified working, but some are part-time and others do go down from time-to-time without warning. I do my best to get rid of dead channels after checking them over the course of a couple of weeks to make sure they're really dead.

Also, some of these will return demuxing errors; the experimental mplayer.dll fixes a lot of these. (Most of these demuxing problems occur in the German streams).

If anyone has additional television streams (preferably actual stations rather than internet-only), please submit them to me at http://www.op9.net/contact.

Edit: 448 streams from 102 countries.

[vanadium]

488 from 103 countries as of tonight.

What about make diferent strm packs by countries or languages?

[vanadium]

If you want just a specific country, you can just extract that country's folder and upload using my instructions. Unfortunately, I don't have time to arrange them by specific language.

Ok, I'm making a lot of headway with new streams, so for here on out you may want to check my site http://www.op9.net for updates. Thanks for all the support, folks, and enjoy!
