I created a srtm file
Code:
http://www.archive.org/download/HalfLife2_13657/HalfLife2_13657_HQ.avi
http://www.archive.org/download/HalfLife2_13657/HalfLife2_13657_IQ.avi
http://www.archive.org/download/2011-03-05-SDA_Speed_Runs/HalfLife2EpisodeOne_hard_3713_HQ.mp4
Only first of them is being played.

Windows XP.
STRM files only work one URL per STRM file.
No, a file with multiple urls is displayed as a directory. And the links cannot be played even if 1 link per file.
Noone knows?
Is this forum dead?
As always, post a debug log showing you trying to play one of those streams.
Have you tried opening them by yourself?

That's not a debug log (wiki) and it's only a snippet. Please upload your entire debug log (wiki) to a public paste site such as www.xbmclogs.com and post just the assigned URL here. Finally, please do not bump your own thread in less than a 24 hour period.

@ololoe: I just tried to play one in VLC, it didn't work. Some files just can't be streamed without downloading the whole thing first, I've seen it happen elsewhere. I don't know if the problem lies in ffmpeg or the web server.
@negge VLC doesn't play or buffer too long even the first file, so it isn't a good comparison.

So can someone tell what's wrong with that files?

@artrafael you have the urls - you don't need logs, unless the program behave different.
@ololoe: if VLC can't play them, chances are very high XBMC can't either since they both use the same codecs. Since those files are just plain AVI files, why don't you just download them?
We're not your gofers. If you want help then generate a log file for us to look at.
@negge I meant VLC doesn't play it from internet. It have to play it from local drive but I haven't checked it.

@ned Scott what's the problem of opening that links? My log can contain some private information I don't want to share. You won't see goatse if you open them, don't worry.

Exactly the point negge was making. If it won't stream for VLC, chances are it won't stream for XBMC either.

Which is the second point negge suggested you do.

You can always edit your log to remove sensitive information before uploading it.

Ololoe you are rude beyond belief. If you can't be bothered uploasding your logs, I don't know why you expect help.

FYI the first two play OK for me (although there is quitre a delay before it starts to play, it is NOT downloading the whole file first though), the last doesn't work at all for me.
