Not sure what you are talking about. I don’t know what a .strm file is. Please explain in great detail what you are trying to do and how specifically you are using Wowza. Charlie ---

We do not have any experience with XBMC. So not sure we are much help. Maybe others on the forum will jump in and help. Charlie ---

Yes … Just install XBMC … I tested it on OSX … And LIVE installation of XBMC on ION + ATOM small hardware box … Create \*.strm files in Videos directory (its /home/xbmc/Videos on linux, or User/Movies on OSX) … strm files are text files with link to wowza … For example : file Mystream.strm containing : rtmp://WOWZA\_ADRESS:1935/application/MystreamName or rtsp://WOWZA\_ADRESS:1935/application/MystreamName Start XBMC … Go to Videos and click on stream name … ---

Hi, I’ve been trying to do this on my mac, but when I click on the .strm file it simples does not work. It flashes “Working” for a second and then nothing happens. I’m trying to watch a live stream provided by the wowza, from the FMLE. The streaming in itself is working, because I can watch it on a FLV player. Can you help me? thank you. ---

I’m trying to do the same as Pytkin said. Play RTMP streaming on XBMC using Wowza as a server. ---

Yes! 10.0, dharma! It’s weird because I can watch the streaming when I play it on “Moyea FLV player” are you sure you don’t have any other plugin? thank you.
