Well winamp tv has alot of cool streams in it. Like futurama and family guy all day long


I was wondering if anyone has been able to play winamp tv streams in xbmp and how they did it

I would also like to know if this is at all possible.

I got it to buffer using a shoutcast.pls as a fake file, with the streaming ip addy, but it buffers and doesn't play.

thats because its a different file format... NSV (nullsoft video) i dont think there is a decoder for it for X yet:(
Working on this myself:)

it would be an awesome addition to my xbox htpc.

yea ive tried a few things like making a shoutcast file with the address of the winamp stream in it nothing really works.. mayb e we should make a feature suggeston for xbmc

I found out that .nsv is composed of MP3 for audio and VP3 for video, both of which are open source codecs. The shoutcast player in xbmp can already handle encoded MP3 so I figure we're already halfway there . Anyway, VP3 source code and info can be found at VP3.com, for any of you budding developers. I think this could be great for xbmp as there are more and more quality winamp tv channels around.
