Title: AMC Contest
Post by: phoenixkonsole on August 07, 2010, 12:34:57 PM

Hello friends,
i have a bit much around my head (private, job, Broadway, AresOne). I was on the hunt for TV- livestreams to include a small collection in AMC. The list can be updated by the user too.

Now the problem is that i found not a "list" but instead you have to look manually for those streams. Takes time which i just not have in the moment.

I would like to start a contest:

First prize: AudioEvolution4(AROS),AMC(AROS or AOS or MOS ),A-live X (physical)
Second prize: AMC(AROS or AOS or MOS),A-liveX(Physical)
Third prize: AMC(AROS or AOS or MOS)
4th: A-live X download only(unlimited updates)

The winner is the one who gives us the most (in numbers) "working" stream- urls.

The url must work with our(AROS) mplayer.
- Channel Name
- Resolution
- Bandwidth Kbps (approximate)
- Language
- Country
- Genre

The deadline is September the 15th 2010. Special day for me ; )

I'm not very familiar with Streaming TV - is there a particular protocol which AMC supports?
Do you need these criteria supplying aswell (channel,resolution,bandwidt, etc), or just the URLs?

Thanks,
a good start. But we need the url of the stream itself. Mostly they start with mms://
AMC uses Mplayer. Every stream which works with mplayer will work for AMC too.

A possible how to get those streams:
On Windows:
1. I've installed a plugin for Firefox named "TV-Fox", this plug in has thousand of free tv channels categorized by country, language and genre all accessible from a button on firefox
2. I've installed a program called "URL Snooper 2", this software helps discovering embedded flash streams or any streaming media in your pc

Before lanching a WebTV I launch URL Snooper then I check the possible streams discovered and try to reproduce them on AROS mplayer under VirtualBox, if the test is positive I store the channel in the AMC channel list

But if you are able to find any streaming links in other ways you are welcome! Looking around and googling I was not so lucky so I've started discovering channel with this method.
Generally streaming links starts with

mms://

and sometimes there are asx playlists that starts with

http://

and ends with

.asx
