Also was wondeting where to get those URI's with the stream address from? Is there like a website that lists them as it is so easy just to add a few there.

k.

The only other two live stream URLs I have are for NASA TV and the live feed from the ISS:
http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplaylist.dll?id=1368163

mms://a1709.l1856953708.c18569.g.lm.akamaistream.net/D/1709/18569/v0001/reflector:53708

I too would like to know where to get more of them, or a simple how to on how to use rtmpdump (or other tools) to figure them out would even be useful.

I found a bunch more live feed streams (using rtmpdump, piping into mplayer) here: http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/f...t?sort=hot

Based on our discussion here, I also started a new HOW-TO thread, explaining how to get live streaming feeds into XBMC: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=93280

There are a few more examples in that thread, as well as general instructions on converting those nasty rtmpdump command lines into something XBMC recognizes!

In Travelling Guy's How-To thread, I've added CSPAN 1, 2, 3, and CNN Live 2 (arabic).

Also, broke down the Al Jazeera rtdump into sections so you can see how it all works together.

For whatever reason, I couldn't get TravelingGuy's strm to show up in the file browser, so I made a video addon. If anyone needs it, just drop plugin.video.aljazeera in to the addons folder to install.

I have made the .strm file and placed it in a folder that xbmc can see. When I go to that folder in xbmc on my apple tv 2g I do not see the file. Can someone who was successful using an aTV2g comment?

The addon that I made works with an ATV2. drop it in /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/addons

Ok, I followed your instructions and it did show up. I am used to installing from .zip usually.

I still don't understand why those .strm files aren't working. I have seen those other feeds and it would have been nice to add them.

Thanks for your help, I'm glad to finally have Al Jazeera on my aTV. Smile

Update: Ok I figured out why the .strm files were not showing in xbmc. I didn't have hide extensions for known filetypes unchecked. Noob fail. In either case I'm ecstatic that it's working!
