Add XFM to Serviio

Hi all,
first post and pretty new to the "advance features" of Serviio, so bare with me while I pick it up :)

I have successfully set-up Serviio to transcode and stream music, and videos to my Sony Bravia KDL-32EX403.
But I would like to stream XFM (UK Radio Station) as it currently does not transmit on the Freeview built in to my TV.
I attempted to set it up, but am unable to find it on my TV under "Music>Serviio>Online" (Am I even looking in the right place?)

Here is a screenshot of the Serviio (excuse the poor paint skills lol)
Theses are the lines I added
http://mediasrv-sov.musicradio.com/XFML ... WMExt=.asf
http://81.20.49.50:80/XFMLondon?MSWMExt=.asf

Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

those URLs point to a playlist file, but that playlist doesn't include any real links to the stream, only links to itself. Something's fishy there - basically you have to put the content URLs in Serviio console, not a link leading to a playlist (a text file basically).

I followed this guide to the letter
http://forum.serviio.org/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=5192

What should I have entered in to Serviio?

WFM doesnt seem to work, its actual url to the stream is rtmp://cdn-the-2.musicradio.com:80/LiveAudio/XFM"

when you run that through ffmpeg you get this error.

Just try this link on my Bravia EX501 without problem. (But I use audio transcoding to mp3 on Sony Bravia Profile)

where would I find it on the Sony interface? I tried

HOME > MUSIC > SERVIIO> ONLINE
but there was nothing there.

Am I looking in the right place?
Do I need to edit the profile for my TV?

Would you mind sharing? That URL doesn't work for me (neither on XBMC, nor on Sony BDP).

I can also confirm that Xfm is no longer working via that ulr.

Could someone tell me how to find a working one please?
