Stumped by online streaming

I have a Samsung tv and downloaded Serviio because I couldn't get Allshare to work! Only took me a few minutes to get going and to be able to see my pictures on the tv.
However I cannot figure out how to get the streaming to work. I added a source url which works in VLC in the console under online sources but cannot figure out what to do after that. How do I get it to play on the tv? Do I need to download a pluggin?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

What URL did you add?

Thanks for the quick answer.
I added the following: mms://38.96.148.86/belmizikboston which streams music from http://www.belmizikfm.com. I didn't add anything for thumbnail url. When I ran the "check stream url" I got a green check mark.

Right, so after you add the URL (as a Live Stream), just go the Video (or Audio, depending on the stream type) on your TV, select Online and you should see the item there.

When I select "source" on the tv I see Serviio listed under network; when I select that I see 3 categories: videos, photos, music; when I select the latter I see a list of folders and one of them is labeled "online" but when I select it there is nothing there. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

My bad!!! I redid the stream (it was missing the last part) and now it works.
Thanks again for your help.

Hi Tech Rookie. I am hoping that you can pass on the love and help me to get the streaming on my TV.

Is there a guide that shows you how to do this?

Is there are list of streaming sources?

I see a lot of info, but it appears to be over my head. Need the simplify version.

thanks

Post where you are having trouble. Of course you can also read the howto's under my signature.

After you have installed Serviio you should see it listed as 1 of the input sources on your TV if you select "source" on the remote.
If you select it then you should see the "contents type" listed: videos, photos, music. When you select one of these you should see
the folders that you have set to "share" on your pc.
Good luck!

I am having a bit of difficulty in locating stream content. I believe that I understand how to set this up properly; however, I am having difficulty in finding streaming content that will work with Serviio. So far all I have found that I comprehend are RSS/Podcast feeds. I wish to stream music (i.e. Pandora, Chicago local stations, etc.) When I see a station I like I don't understand where to get its IP address instead of its dynamic IP. What would be the best method to find an IP address of a specific radio station rather than its dynamic address? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
