Hello everyone,
I have spent quite some time looking for a plugin / other way to add an URL to a web TV destination (and play it using VLC or whatever, no matter), to no avail. I have managed to do that for radio with the WebRadio plugin, but not with live (or recorded news etc but available via streaming off the web) TV.
Can anyone pls help in this matter? I cannot believe such a feature is not present - I can understand WMC, but NPVR? lol... I have not tried pasting a URL into WebRadio but I suspect it will not work (tried in WMC to access live TV using their Tune plugin actually, but no go there either. I live in Australia so I cannot even see the Internet TV option in WMC for example...). I know some / (all?) of this kind of stuff is Flash based - but perhaps not all? And if so then why not a plugin using Flash the same way it uses VLC (I may be saying something stupid here) ?
Thank you
PS I have looked at NEWA as well as they talk about streaming there but there was NO WAY of accessing the config page they talk about, no tabs on that anywhere just guide, recording etc... I am stumped...
