URL Streaming

Is Serviio able to perform URL streaming from websites like cbc.ca/video?

I was trying to learn how to program a plugin for this page, but it seems to me that plugins are for feeds only?

Please let me know if I am correct or not and if URL streaming as described is possible.

I had TVersity before and it could be programmed stream any flash video so I thought this would be possible.

Re: URL Streaming

I apologize, I'm pretty new to this so forgive me if this is due to my lack of knowledge.

I've tried to figure this out. I've read the plugin dev guide and looked at many plugin examples in Groovy. However, I don't see how you actually can link to the video on www.cbc.ca/video/ So I can't figure out how to get the plugin to find the video.

Are there any plugin examples you can suggest that might help me? All of the ones I've seen actually point to the streaming video which I can figure out. But www.cbc.ca/video doesn't seem to display this.

Re: URL Streaming

look at some of the current plugins, eg Channel4 or ITV.
