seems to be a good working tv internet website, and i was wondering if there was any way to implement this into xbmc.
Moving your post to the python scripts and plugins forum and changed the topic title
Has anyone actually figured out how this works?
It acts as a proxy somehow for the NBA League Pass, tricking it so that the origin ip appears to be an american one (or that's what I think it does).
A working solution at least for some groups of urls (NBA comes to mind) would be great.
If you are a python scripter then you should be able to work around that using a proxy.
It should be possible to 'fool' or 'spoof' from which location in the world you are in using a proxy, checkout
http://proxy.org
http://proxy.org/cgi_proxies.shtml
would make a nice re-usable module for any python script to use I would think
Many XBMC python scripts could probably benifit if such a module was made, any volunteers?
...though I'm not sure if the python-engine in XBMC uses the HTTP proxy set in XBMC via GUI settings?
it should use xbmc proxy.
No, that's not the issue here.
I'm located in Spain, and if I follow those urls in
http://www.channelsurfing.net I don't need to setup any proxy in my browser to access NBA League Pass for instance.
If I extract the urls and try to open the mms uri directly in wm9 it won't work.
I assume the php script is getting somehow a cookie (or doing something like that) trough the US server ip address and then it's relaying it to me so I can pass it on in the request to the streaming server.
As I said, it's pretty impressive, since it gives access to live sports events without too much hassle for us non americans.
I'm not entirely sure if it's possible to make a plug-in for it, but this site has links to live sports games. It'd be cool to watch the games via the xbox. Some of the links say they are only for IE, so I don't know if that would pose a problem.
Hi, I'd love to be able to watch the feeds from this website...
Thanks everyone
Check out the channelsurfing.net script in my code page, let me know if it still works or needs updating. It's for xbox only though.
I haven't checked on it in a while. If the streams are asx format they will not play in xbmc. I may decide to convert it to a plugin shortly.

The script appears to be broken. I'm using an xbox with the march 4 t3ch and it hangs at "Loading Directory Retrieved 0 items"
here's the xbmc.log:

thanks f8lcoder
nicoli_k,
I took a quick look at your log, did you put the script in your plugin folder??
It should be installed in the scripts folder.
It will not run from the plugins folder.
Make sure you have it in the correct folder and try again.

d'oh! sorry about that. I read right over the word "script" and assumed it was a video plugin. I still can't get past the main menu while running it as a script and pressing the back button doesn't close it out.
here's the debug log while it's stuck in the endless loop of "working please wait!":
