HOW-TO setup streaming internet video/audio
#76
is there any updates to this? like winamp.com's mystery sience theater 3000 stream. or using a http://orb.com/ personal streaming account with xbox? you can watch live tv from your own tv tuner over that website. any way to incorporate that?

hey dr. evil...coolstreaming works fine....just put the url that it broadcasts "[url]http://a.b.c.d:6789/1.asf"[/url] in a file on your pc called something like "cool.strm" (where a.b.c.d is the ip address of your pc), access the file remotely from xbmc and bingo!!!

i think pplive, which currently has superior quality to coolstreaming, broadcasts in a format that xbmc doesnt like (wmp lists format as: video-windows media video 9 & audio-windows media audio 940 kbps, 32 khz, stereo (a/v) 1-pass cbr) , but i'm not on the latest xbmc release.....if anyone has got this working i'd like to know!!!

carlito - thanks, i did sort this on coolstreaming myself, but just couldn't get pplive to work which is ashame as it is significantly superior quality on my computer! hopefully there will be some xbmc that can play it soon then.

ok, just tried it with the latest xbmc i can find and it get as far as buffering it to 18.75% and then briefly flashes up that it can not play it because of no audio stream (though it plays fine on my computer) - so guess its missing a codec of some sort; but don't know which one or how to sort that...

Hello Everyone,

Please forgive me for the noob questions, but, i am Deperately trying to get this setup for my home.

I started with Boxee powered by xbmc and found i like xbmc better.

I want to configure XBMC to work with Local TV News, but, i am lost as to what i my need to make it happen.

Should i look for internet feeds and skip basic cable, or should i add a cheap tv tuner card and basic cable just for the news?

Also, who here has made the complete jump to internet only TV/Media?

What are good resources to read up on to make the transition work with the family?

Thank for your time.

Chipsta

PS. what are some of your favorite configs/setups?

wow, a 5 year old resurrection...
i use this as a poor man's music streaming server:
Code:
[schneidz@hyper ~]$ cat ./hyper/nc.ksh
#!/bin/bash
PL=$(find /media/win/stuff/damian_jr_gong_marley -name "*.mp3")
NUM=$(echo $PL |wc -w)
{
while true; do
r=$(($RANDOM%$NUM))
if [ $r -eq 0 ]
then
  r=1
fi
s=$(echo $PL |cut -d ' ' -f$r)
echo "Playing $s ... " >& 2
echo "HTTP/1.0 200 OK";
echo "Content-Type: audio/x-mp3stream";
echo "Cache-Control: no-cache ";
echo "Pragma: no-cache ";
echo "Connection: close ";
echo "x-audiocast-name: schneidz-bash mp3 streaming server";
echo;
echo;

dd if=$s bs=1024
done
} | nc -v -l 8020
should work in xbmc-live

Question 
I just found these two sites http://www.dovyweb.com and http://www.seeon.tv
I am enjoying watching the feeds from my browser but I would love to just run the stream by clicking an icon in XBMC.
Can anyone suggest a solution?

does this work if you are using the PLEX software and a Roku LT box? If so, please help with instructions. I am trying to get PBS Frontline, which posts old shows on their website and I can watch on my computer, to stream to my TV. But when I go to PLEX on my TV, it says I have nothing in my queue.

Or if you think PLEX and Roku are not the way to go, what should I buy? I have never had an X-box, and I am not a gamer.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
