the ability to open realplayer streaming files (.ram files, methinks) would be great alongside shoutcast support, as would the ability to put winamp visualisations into xmbc, since all they do it use calculations to generate images.

winamp visualisations is a bit more than "just" generating images... i don't think we'll be seeing them in xbmc (unless author's specifically port the code over).

i am trying to play a real video stream. i put the link below in a strm file but it won't play. from what i've found through searches is that it will work but, no one says how they did it. i am using the xbmc-2004-03-09 build.

thanks for any help.

rtsp://209.215.175.40:554/encoder/wmar/wmar-abc2500-live.rm?cloakport=8480,554,7070

i have also tried these variations:

rtsp://209.215.175.40:554/encoder/wmar/wmar-abc2500-live.rm

http://209.215.175.40:554/encoder....54,7070

http://209.215.175.40:554/encoder/wmar/w...00-live.rm

and mms:// variations of the above

real streams is not supported yet, rm does not use mms and neither does it's stream the same way of http, see here (link)

[pepehdez]

are real streams supported now ? because i noticed a new mplayer in xbmc build 3-27-2004.

[tslayer]

no.. still not supported.

check bugs.txt to see all the latest changes.

a new mplayer.dll does not mean that there is support for it.

hello,

i use xbmc version 2004-03-09 and ccxstream server 0.3.4
i have a particular radio stream which uses realplayer to stream its signal.
http://www.decibel.nl/live/live.ram
or
http://www.decibel.nl/live/live.rpm

both of them are working in internet explorer

i've tried  the following:
-copied the link into a notepad and renamed the file into .strm
-copied the link into a notepad and renamed the file into .rm
-copied the link into a notepad and renamed the file into .sc

neither of the options worked and only crashes xbmc.
is this a bug or are these kind of streams not yet supported?

i''ve also a bunch of .sc files (shoutcast) which were installed with the latest evox version, but seemed not to be supported in xbmc. when i view the file it contains for example the following:
shoutcast://24.226.84.222:1080
i only can get it to work when i change it to
http://24.226.84.222:1080 and rename the file into .strm

thx for any suggestion

unfortunately xbmc does not play realmedia streams because mplayer does not do the natively.

[kompressor_uk]

i even think that shoutcast was broken in your release.

i can confirm it works ok in cvs 12-04-2004 build.

xbmc does not yet support streaming realmedia (or any other real format) from the internet. ps! shoutcast is never ever real

i have some web radio that i use to listen to.

some are in .m3u files. for these i've simply copied the .m3u files in the /album/playlists directory and they works great.

but what about realplayer urls ?

searching through the forum i've understood it is possible to play them ... but where do i should add those links?

(same story for windows mediaplayer links)

thank you for any answer.

bye

you must have search the wrong forum, or simple read the post incorrectly. realmedia internet streama are still not supported.

you can play real media files downloaded from streaming sources with xbmc i have done it many times. use a download manager that supports rstp and you can save them and playback on the xbox. of course live broadcasts don't really work with that method but im just glad i can watch it =)

yes you can (personaly i use nettransport) but that isn't the same as internet streaming directly to xbmc which is the topic here
