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 ...

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

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 · #16 10-23-2011, 02:31 PM

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

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 · #17 10-25-2011, 06:26 AM

there are several ways to get the streaming address

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 or Replay Media Catcher.

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

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 ...

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

dugan26 · #20 11-15-2011, 10:41 AM

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
