.strm and .m3u not working in Atlantis
#1
Hi all

I understand that .strm and .m3u streams will not work with atlantis beta 1( I cant get them to work anyway), is there any simple way I can get these working without having to recompile anything, I watch a lot of football (UK Soccer) especially live matches of my beloved Liverpool FC, if someone could point in the right direction I would be most grateful, it would be a big improvement on just using winamp. Many thanks.

You're going to have to give more details. Debug Log, sample stream, state explicitly how you create and play the file. Basically as much detail as possible.

Hi thanks for the reply

With xbmc on the xbox I was able to put my link for internet streams into a txt file and rename the txt file to .strm then I would goto the .strm file on my xbox and it would start to play the internet stream. In the first instance when I tried the same thing using xbmc on windows I hit the .strm file on me hard drive and nothing happens no streaming starts or anything.
Xbmc does not crash or breakdown or anything like that so no debug log is created. It just seems to me like its not supported in the atlantis build so what Im asking is is it possible to add support to it in the atlantis beta with out recompiling or should I wait for svn or another buildHuh Thanks

The log is created whenever XBMC is running, not only when it crashes. I've used both playlist types on the linux build but its possible there is a bug on the windows side. We're going to NEED to see the log.

.strm should work though it depends which streams are embedded. Post a debug log via pastebin and show us how to reproduce.
Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.

As you can see the GUI part seems to know that Im clicking the stream and it seems like it is going to connect but no matter what I do nothing comes up no stream nothing but XBMC doesnt crash or do anything strange.

Thanks again guys for all the help its much appreciated. Hopefully you clever lads will be able to see whats wrong Big Grin

http response code 400 means a malformed request done by the client (XBMC).
Did you tried this URL with another player?
And as althekiller said please let us decide which is the important part and post the full log on pastebin.

Thanks,

Hi Wiso thanks for you input..

To answer you question yes it works perfectly in winamp and VLC without any problems at all, I have pasted another instance of the log which was generated and did exactly as I did before the log is at

I forgot the most important one. Please post the stream filename (I guess I see it in the logfile) and the content to test it.

I can post the m3u file but I cant post the content as its streamed live! Its football live streams (you call it soccer) so Im unable to post the content, unless Im getting the wrong end of the stick by what you are saying Oo I have checked again on my xbox and the streams work fine in that version of XBMC aswell as with winamp and VLC as I have said so Im guessing its got to be something platform based, I will however go and test the Mac and linux version before I make that assumption though and report back..
