Add internet stream as a channel to My TV (2 Viewers)

[kkendall]

O, hahaha! I hadn't seen the thread was that old!
I just searched for the word NASA and I ended up in this thread...

But yes, I must confess I'm anxiously waiting for this option
I'm going to try the Mytrailers plugin this weekend, maybe that could be a temp. solution.

I found that with the Elecard stream-codec, you could just make .pls-files (w/UDP address) that you could play in (My)Movies.

Stil no possibility to watch NASA tv in MP?
It's been over 3 years that people have been asking for it and over a year for me looking for a solution...

I've read all kinds of half baked suggestions, all very confusing.
I wish someone could explain how I can get it working...so I'm not looking for remarks like:
"I found that with the Elecard stream-codec, you could just make .pls-files (w/UDP address) that you could play in (My)Movies." (no offence ),
"Perhaps you can get some of the webstreams included in OnlineVideos",
"If you install Mytrailers plugin you will be able to see internet tv streams in fullscreen.",
"If you have direct links for internet tv stations, you can contribute to do a playlist database.",
"Only external Mediaportal plugins like VLC-plugin or MPlayer-plugin will do." or
something like this. This all says nothing to me, I'm lost here without some more detailed information.

Please, if someone can make this work, could you please tell me how...

I guess it will never happen, webstreams in MP...

So there is another NASA TV viewer who also uses MP

Try this...

Open the attached ZIP file and save the contained .m3u files in your video playlists folder (you can set this folder in MP configuration)
Start MP and go to "My Video" / Playlists
Pick one of the streams and press OK.
Wait for a few seconds. The stream should be displayed in the bottom left corner.
Press the fullscreen button (On the MCE remote it's the red button)
Enjoy full screen NASA TV

P.S. I totally agree... Internet TV should definately be integrated into My TV. Fingers crossed for MP II
P.P.S. If you can get the 1200k stream to display nicely you're a luckier man than me... I can only get as high as 300Kbps before it starts to buffer constantly.

Hi,

yeah that is on the ToDo.

HTH, Flip.

Sure...
But I don't believe it anymore after more than 3 years

there is an option for a internet tv stream channel at the new channel window in the TV-server config. But when i select the channel in the client MP it says 'no free card'. How do we solve this?
