    Default Openbox/Skybox - add iptv streaming ulr to channel list?

    As per the thread title, I just wondered if it's possible to edit a channel list and add an iptv/streaming link as a channel entry?

    Are these boxes capable of playing back streams like this? eg. MP4?

    depending on which box you have i don't see why not most of the newer boxes are said to play MP5 & can play some streams

    whether the box could handle it well thats another question all together

    Thanks for taking the time out to respond. I have the Skybox F5. Would this support it - and how would I go about adding the url to the channel listings?

    The F5 isn't capable of streaming via URL's.

    You will need a box with webtv facilities, such as the V8 or V6. You cannot mix satellite channels & streaming channels in the channel list. To access the streaming channels you will need to watch them via the webtv menu.

    Yep. Got it working on my V6 box.

    Delete the list that comes with the box & search for an m3u list on the internet. Some sites let you download as an m3u file, with others you need to copy & paste into notepad & save as webtv.m3u.

    Theres a file in the downloads section that may help:-

    I noticed though that not all streams play with sound. It looks like there's a codec problem that prevents sound from playing on certain streams.

    You'll make a load of new friends on DK if you upload that list for others to share.

    Sorry to drag up an old thread, I have loads of m3u files from a well known site but the m3u files contain .ts links which some may be aware only play for around 30 seconds, To play a .ts in VLC the loop button needs to be selected or in Kodi playlist Loader F4MTESTER is required and an F4MTESTER string pasted infront of the .ts link, Is there anything that can be done to make the .ts link to continue to play on WebTV on an V8S ? Thanks.
