XBMC User Guide Page 29
On the original Xbox the default Microsoft dashboard contains the ability to rip your CDs to WMA format.
This type of media source (enabled by default in XBMC) allows you to read that database and play those
audio tracks. Some limitations exist with these files including crossfading due to WMA filetype.
Syntax example:
soundtrack://
iTunes Network Share (DAAP) Media Source
iTunes has its very own library sharing protocol, DAAP. XBMC can play all unprotected files, (ie. all files which
haven't been purchased on iTunes Music Store). To enable sharing in iTunes look under the edit tab, click on
preferences, click on sharing and enable the sharing check box.
Syntax example:
daap://192.168.1.100
Shoutcast Streams Media Source
This type of media source will contact www.shoutcast.com and list the web radio streams provided by them.
Shoutcast.com maintains a list of the Top 500 stations on their listings. Through XBMC you can select and listen
to any of these stations over your broadband internet connection: free online radio at your fingertips! This source
is available in Music by default.
Syntax example:
shout://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/newxml.phtml
Note: direct links to genres and searches are allowed
shout://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/newxml.phtml?genre=Funk
shout://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/newxml.phtml?genre=Top500
shout://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/newxml.phtml?search=[stationname]
Last.FM Media Source
This type of media source will contact www.last.fm and list your recently played songs/albums/artist etc. You can
even playback Last.FM webradio streams provided by them.
Note: Please make sure you have read the Last.FM Manual.
Syntax example:
lastfm://
RSS Feeds in XBMC
XBMC features a built RSS Feed Reader Client for such audio and video sources, this type of media source will
connect to the RSS feed you enter and lists the audio, video or image files available to stream with thumbnails
and metadata if available. The RSSFeeds.xml file within the XBMC UserData folder contains the RSS feeds
which are displayed by XBMC, however, there is an easier way to enter RSS feed data using the RSS Editor script
which you can install using the SVN Repo Installer!
