Hi All
I am compiling a list of greek TV streams (currently at 31) for XBMC.
I am having some trouble with a couple of streams on kanalia.eu

Namely Alpha and Mega (the top two) and Alter
I have managed to get the rtmp link but i cannot get RTMPdump (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/rtmpdump-freeware-console-RTMP-downloading-application.htm) working as it keeps saying Application rejected connection.

I cannot get it working with rtmpsuck as it is running on port 80. Can anyone help out?

The command i am using is:

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://178.162.134.45:80/kanali10" --playpath kanali10.sdp -o test.flv -V --live

Alpha TV
rtmpdump.exe -r "rtmp://178.162.134.45:80/kanali10/kanali10.sdp" -p "http://kanalia.eu/player/flash/alpha_original.php" --live -o Test.flv

Mega
rtmpdump.exe -r "rtmp://178.162.134.45:80/megaweb/megaweb.sdp" -p "http://www.kanalia.eu/player/flash/mega_channel_original.php" --live -o Test.flv

Alter
rtmpdump.exe -r "rtmp://178.162.134.45:80/alterweb/alterweb.sdp" -p "http://www.kanalia.eu/player/flash/alter_original.php" --live -o Test.flv

Hi KSV -

Im new here - and trying to figure out how to get this working in XBMC - any ideas?

[opelcalibra]

save the url above into a text file and save it with a file extension of .strm
save this somewhere xbmc can get to and it will play

are you after the greek streams or just getting this to work in general?

ive got about 35 working greek channels

Could you please upload them to some file sharing web-site like multiupload?

Both!

and thanks!

Can you post the Greek streams ? Would love to have them!

[dugan26]

Also-

Does rtmpdump (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/rtmpdump-freeware-console-RTMP-downloading-application.htm) need to be running on the XBMC box for this to work? I copied the multiple links in this thread and none worked. I have other streams that work as .strm files but they are all mms: etc ... such as:

mms://74.55.128.50/publishingpoint1

This is the first time I am trying to get a rtmp: string to work ...

Sorry if this is a silly question ...

[opelcalibra]

you dont need rtmpdump on xbmc
the format of the url for xbmc is a bit different from above
im using all these channels on apple tv 2

you can download all the greek channels below. you can open them with notepad to see the url format

http://www.filefactory.com/file/ce825df/n/Greek_IPTV_2.zip

let me know if you have any issues

[opelcalibra]

the xbmc version of alpha tv would be:

rtmp://178.162.134.45:80/kanali10 playpath=kanali10.sdp app=kanali10 pageUrl=http://kanalia.eu/player/flash/alpha_original.php live=yes

save that as alphatv.strm from notepad or textedit

[dugan26]

Many many thanks i will try these tonight


.... So i am assuming you are from Greece .... If yes What part?

Thanks again

[opelcalibra]

no i am from australia.
i dont even speak greek. i am setting up xbmc with greek channels for my father in law.

[dugan26]

Ah ... Got it ...

I didn't download yet ... Hopefully later tonight ... Question?
The zip file contains the streams but they are not formatted for xbmc?

I will have to reformat them and use your alpha example?

Is that the case?

Many thanks ...

[opelcalibra]

no they are all .strm files ready to use in xbmc

[dugan26]

Many thanks again -

So, in the beginning of your thread here you had this ...

The command i am using is:

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://178.162.134.45:80/kanali10" --playpath kanali10.sdp -o test.flv -V --live

Which lead me to my quest of figuring out how to extract the actual stream using sniffers etc ... i winded up using wire shark only because i was more familiar with it and followed some guys youtube on how to do it ...

can you describe how you take this rtmp "command" stuff and turn it into these mms: strings?

This has be baffeled right now - i think I am just missing something silly ....

[dugan26]

i followed this guys example of "how to get the actual stream address"

8PuUnQCS7DQ

Am I making any sense ? or have is just completely taken a wrong turn ...

bottom line is i would like to learn how you got all those addresses for the Greek channels incase i wanted to make my own .... from other website streams ...

[opelcalibra]

there are several ways to get the streaming address (http://all-streaming-media.com/faq/recording-media-stream/faq-get-media-stream-URL.htm)

i use developer tools in chrome to browse the resources of the page
you can search for mms, asx or rtmp depending on the stream type

for pages where you cannot find the stream you can use URL Snooper (http://all-streaming-media.com/find-stream-URL/Project-URL-Snooper-Find-the-actual-stream-URL-Free-download.htm) or Replay Media Catcher (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Replay-Media-Catcher-download-and-capture-streaming-music-radio-video.htm).

once you have the stream try playing it in vlc via open network.
if it plays there it will play in xbmc so save the url of the stream as a .strm file with notepad

if theres some particular sites you are trying to get working post the site and I will tell you how i found the stream and the format it needs to be in for xbmc

[dugan26]

First of all thanks for the Greek channels - !

For the sake of trying to get an understanding of how this works- i tried that guys youtube which i posted and could not get that to work - can you check out that guys youtube i posted - i got the stream the way he did ... which gave me:

rtmp://aljazeeraflashlivefs.fplive.net:1935/aljazeeraflashlive-live/galjazeera_eng_high

I tried following his directions and could not get a successful stream - so if you could show me on this it would help only because i have already invested some time in trying this ...

[dugan26]

Are there any streams for the Blue Channel? would you know?

[dugan26]

Hi - Are you still there?

Was wondering if you had any good sites which explain exactly how to strip the stream info off of a website like you say with RTMP dump etc ... I tried following that youtube I posted but had no luck -

I am in the market to try and put together a bunch of financial news streams but cant grasp the basics here ...

Any help would be greatly appreciated

[zeus589]

Hi, pretty new at this, my question is how to you setup xbmc in atv2 to read these links? is there a step-by-step somewhere on this? sorry if i'm asking a silly question, but i just can't figure it out, thanks.

[zeus589]

how can you make xbmc access this txt file?
