Add-On Releases - Radio and TV Player 3.8.x

Mark this thread as installed only if you want to receive important update notifications by email.

This will add a fully featured Radio and TV Streaming Player with stations library to your forum.

Features:
- Users can add / delete / edit own stations (controlled by usergroup permissions)
- Users can have a favorite stations list
- Report broken / duplicate stations links
- Totally coded in AJAX (no page reloads)
- Plays Windows Media Player, Real Player and Quicktime streams
- Shows user's favorites and last played station in profile page
- and much more...

Installation is easy. You need to upload some files, import a product, import the default stations (if you wish) and make only two manual navbar template edits, one for the popup link and another for the javascript that opens the popup. This is optional and the link can be put elsewhere, just remember to also add the javascript on the same page.

Nominate this mod for Mod of the Month!

If you like this script you can donate (note that won't make me work!)

Donations so far: U$ 137.65

This mod is "Re-usable Code", meaning you can modify and release your modified version.

You are responsible for the streams you add to your website. The mod author doesn't take responsibility for possible copyright infringements in some countries by using some stations.

Arabic and Chinese don't work with Ajax, so this mod won't work, sorry.

This mod took roughly two weeks to code, so it should be somewhat good and bug free

How do we get a really good file of all available TV stations up?
I am working on some, but this will take some time.

Anyone:
I am finding streams, but I am sometimes unable to find the original url for the source stream. How do you see what the real URL for the tv stream is?

It's not easy and there's no real way to instruct how to encapsulate the URL in order to embed. Mostly all of the big name streaming sites use different variations to their stream url.

Some just use the name of the stream, some use the raw rmtp string, some include both the channel and an id.

Unfortunately theres no real "easy" way.

This is a great app - thanks for making it!
I made a symbolic USD 10 donation right away.

I do not have the time or ability to spend the time to find and set up a file with all the available TV stations.

I would be willing to pay USD 100 for a really really good file of a lot of the available TV stations that is available. Perhaps others are willing to pitch in as well. I hope this can inspire someone to get going on making this file. It is a bit tedious work.

I am adding streams now, it is tedious.

If you find a stream you can right click on the actual window of the stream. "Properties" - will give you the url for the stream and you can index that.

I just uploaded all the channels partnering with Livestation.com - but they will only play for 15 minutes and then livestation will pitch to download their application.
This is tedious work!

This is the link for BBC from livestation.com

http://www.livestation.com/channels/...a96eed1938520a


But this link I believe is actually just a forward of the "underlying" link feed directly from BBC.
How do you get the actual underlying stream link?

This addon sucks, it does not work on a default install of a new macbook

I have installed the application, but might have to take it down if I cant get a good list fast.

Please post link to list if anyone has one. Thanks.
