What add-on to fork for RTMP video stream
#1
What is a good add-on to fork (with persmission) for a live RTMP video stream (and later archived streams).

Details of the stream are in
https://intergalacticfm.com/content/mobi...yerprc.php
and
https://intergalacticfm.com/content/mobi...720prc.php
and the actual stream is
rtmp://95.211.225.124/SFLive/prc

I am looking for a video add-on that also can show some artwork/icon/fanart. For the moment, it only concerns a single stream, but in the I future might want offer all videos from https://intergalacticfm.com/video/ too. These are also in TRMP and have metadata such as category, genre, date and duration.

RTMP is built into Kodi, you don't need a player or an addon, just build a .strm file, in your case it's one line:
Code:
rtmp://95.211.225.124/SFLive/prc

save the .strm file in a directory that you can access as a video file. In the same directory you can build a .NFO file of exactly the same name to set all the metadata. Then, navigate to the file and scan it into the library.

See http://kodi.wiki/view/Strm#The_.STRM_file_method:
and NFO (wiki)

BTW you don't even need RTMP to play your videos, use the m3u8 in the sources, i.e. http://95.211.225.124:1935/SFLive/prc/playlist.m3u8 seems to load faster.

Just find the URL by looking at the web page source and use that in "Your 2nd Add-On: Online Videos!" example. Works fine.

The stream URL you want to use
http://95.211.225.124:1935/SFLive/prc/playlist.m3u8

Thanks i've added that example to the video add-on guide. Nice and simple!

And it always gets complicated. What is a good starting point if you have two streams? One is always playing something and the other one is live and is offering a placeholder image (that can change) when there is nothing playing.

That is out of scope for the plugin I made. Search existing plugins for xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem
