ive tried to follow the wiki, and had 3 stations streaming on my xbox ok. now i want to add some more they don't seem to work in windows.
What am i doing wrong?
If i take this link:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/meta/t..._au_nb.asx
and paste it into a text document the n save as "bbcnewshour.strm" and save it as allfiles OR as a text doc neither will play under xbmc...
what am i doing wrong?
do i need to find the raw stream URL? howdo i do this?

Probably.
Download curl.exe (
http://curl.haxx.se/) and use (to take your example):
Code:
curl http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/meta/tx/nb/newshour_au_nb.asx
This gives me:
Code:
<asx version = "3.0">
<entry>
<ref href="http://wsdownload.bbc.co.uk/generateasx.esi?file=worldservice/css/nb/latest/newshour.wma" />
</entry>
</asx>
so the correct stream is:
Code:
http://wsdownload.bbc.co.uk/generateasx.esi?file=worldservice/css/nb/latest/newshour.wma
However, I found this doesn't work either! If you use the curl trick again you'll find this URL returns:
Code:
<ASX VERSION="3.0">
<Title>BBC World Service</TITLE>
<AUTHOR>BBC World Service</AUTHOR>
<ENTRY>
<REF HREF="mms://a406.v39440a.c39440.e.vm.akamaistream.net/7/406/39440/201102230940/bbcworldservice.download.akamai.com/39440/worldservice/css/nb/latest/newshour.wma"/>
</ENTRY>
</ASX>
and the stream:
Code:
mms://a406.v39440a.c39440.e.vm.akamaistream.net/7/406/39440/201102230940/bbcworldservice.download.akamai.com/39440/worldservice/css/nb/latest/newshour.wma
does work!
