I'm having trouble trying to get rtmp links to work. The following is some rtmp information for a collection of links that work in xbmc which I'm trying to bring over to MediaPortal. I'm trying to standardize on MediaPortal for our family as it has a working PVR for live TV.

Link info:
<item>
<title>+ US \ Bloomberg</title>
<link>rtmp://media2.lsops.net/live/ playpath=bloomber_en_high.sdp swfUrl="http://www.livestation.com/flash/player/5.4/player.swf" swfVfy=true live=true timeout=60</link>
<thumbnail>http://thestreamdb.googlecode.com/svn/logos/8gbjm6.png</thumbnail>
</item>

The above info works great on xbmc, but I can't get Online Videos to play it. The log suggests that I get a successful connection, but I end up with an error of "can't play video, no URL".

I've attached log files for your perusal. I'm sure I'm doing something stupid here, but I'm a newbie, so please bear with me.

Until the new version of OnlineVideos is released, you can use this:

There is something odd with YouTube rss-feeds. I have created "Youtube Suomi" site for OV and have added this feed:

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?racy=include&author=ilveshockey

There is currently six videos on the feed but in OV it only shows three.
I think the videos shown in OV are a result of this feed:

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?author=ilveshockey

So does OV ignore the "racy=include" parameter?

Yeah I realise this, I just don't think Full Update should "Add Everything to My Sites" as a) it suggests it's going to do an update, not wipe the user's choices and b) it shouldn't be so easy for the user to wipe their settings.

Does the api say something about that parameter?

If you have a better name for the button please supply it. And it does not wipe any settings - it just adds and updates sites.

I'm sorry but selecting which sites are in My Sites is a user setting/configuration and doing Full Update wipes that selection and adds all sites to My Sites, which I don't think it should do.

As for naming the functions, perhaps Automatic Updates could be Update My Sites and Full Update could be Update All Sites? It still shouldn't overwrite the My Sites selection though.

Thanks and sorry. I knew that safeSearch could have something to do with this, but was confused because feed
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?orderby=published&safeSearch=none&author=ilveshockey
results in my webbrowser to "Parameter safeSearch not available in version 1" and yet thats the correct one. Ofcourse I should have just looked the results inside the api-tool, but as I'm just an amateur in all this everything is trial and error to me. Didn't even realize to read the developers guide as I thought it would have nothing to do with this since I clearly had a working feed...

You are clearly not seeing the difference between online sites and local sites. When you are in SiteManager you see ALL sites that are on the server of couse. So doing a full update will get you all what is displayed.

And then when I go back out of Manage Sites it lists all the sites where previously it had only listed the ones I'd selected, so doing a Full Update has wiped my selection of sites I added to My Sites and replaced it with all the sites.

Now if you're saying that when the user goes to Manage Sites it always shows an up-to-date list of sites on the Server (without the user needed to click Full Update) and Full Update justs adds all the sites to My Sites, then I would suggest the button should be named "Add All Sites to My Sites". However, if I need to click Full Update to get the list under Manage Sites up-to-date, then I should be able to do that without it changing My Sites, so that I can update the list and then select any new sites I want to add to My Sites.
