Online sources not working

Hi - I have installed Serviio on Windows Vista. For some reason, most online media are not working for me. I have tested a few links and only one works:

## This link showed up in Online folder and played successfully ##
mmsh://live1.wm.skynews.servecast.net/s ... z_live300k

## These link failed to show up under Online after I registered them in Online Sources tab. When I validated them with ffmpeg I got an "Operation is not permitted" error ##
rtmp://cp108476.live.edgefcs.net/live/ swfUrl=http://www.wilmaa.com/player/main_v3.176.swf -a live -x 927444 -w 6c1be1765187eae0bc9af07d858fae59a0effd3c5b803d08db261ced2c5512bb pageUrl=http://www.wilmaa.com/ playpath=cnn_1_800@45497

rtmp://216.155.128.59:1935/2e2cd swfUrl=http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/r/movie/fivecool_player.0.3.6.2.swf pageURL=http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/r/movie/index.html playpath=nhkworldhd.sdp swfVfy=0 live=1

Furthermore, the 2 groovy files I placed in plugins folder appeared to load fine but are not showing up under Online folder. These are the entries in log file.

2012-06-05 22:18:18,964 INFO [PluginCompilerThread] Added Feed plugin CNN (CNN.groovy)
2012-06-05 22:18:19,247 INFO [PluginCompilerThread] Added Web Resouce plugin YouTubeTop100 (Top100.groovy)

Can anyone pls help???

both links you posted are invalid. groovys require a url in the console online sources that the groovy was wriiten to recognize.

Sorry, you've lost me with the 2nd part to your response. Isn't it simply a case of copying the groovy file into the plugins folder? These are are files I'm using:

http://www.serviio.org/index.php?option ... icle&id=42
viewtopic.php?f=20&t=3718

What am I missing?

No the groovy is just a set of rules to process particular links that are not in a standard rss format.
The links need to be added to the console as described under "Adding online resources to the library" in the wiki link you referenced. Most groovy posts include the link that the groovy supports, but I see the CNN link you reference does not. Looking at the CNN groovy code however it supports any link starting with http://rss.cnn.com or https://rss.cnn.com

See http://www.cnn.com/services/rss/ for the feeds they offer.

Thanks. I understand it better now. I've been able to get online sources to work finally.
