Hi guys, I've been using XBMC for quite some time using my laptop. So I know my way around it to get it works (add onn, etc). Now I'm thinking of building a HTPC. I'm low on budget, so I'm going to buy TV first. While saving money to buy a PC, I can play movies by plug in my external HDisk to TV.

My question is which brand that u guys recommend for me to use?that best to play 720p and 1080p? also, how well does a TV can serve while streaming live football from XBMC?anybody can share experience?

Now my laptop can play 720p movie and tv shows quite smooth. Only have dual core intel with 2GB RAM. Run XBMC on windows 7 ultimate. But when it comes to streaming live tv or football, the picture is quite bad.

For HTPC, I'm thinking as long as I have cope to the minimum requirement, I have no problem running XBMC right? or whats your opinion? Might as well have a better one to have better experience.

I have a 3.5" HD full with movies and tv shows, so I might have to install that one to the PC. I don't want to waste money to build or buy NAS.

Need some comment and opinion from XBMCgurus. biggrin.gif thanks!

i think someone here recently also asked for recommendations on htpc, how to build, where to buy... he couldn't find much here.
if u can't get much here, perhaps can check out this htpc thread...?

Low in budget might be differ to some, any older refurbished PC as low as Intel LGA755 also can run XBMC. Lets say:-
Any Quad Core Qxxxx series
Any low profile GC that supports HD displays, has HDMI or DVI output.
80GB sata HDD
OS at our own of choice.
What quality we are getting is depending on it's source, servers, bandwidth etc etc. The SD it offers, the SD we get.
My first post on top related, doesn't necessarily we need to invest on latest hardware than we able to play XBMC. Moreover it's only for XBMC and not doing multitask as normal PC do.
I am using 80GB for it and another 1TB for offline contents. XBMC doesn't need big capacity HDD to run it. IMO  biggrin.gif

Thanks Powerwoot. Low in budget means need to buy one by one, cannot lamsam buy TV and PC. hehe. I also don't mind the HDD size for installing OS. As what I said before, I need the one that can add my existing external 3.5" HD for playing content offline. So no need to connect as external anymore. So i'm guessing the NUC suggested by arslow is not for me?

Hi bro, how well do Fire tv performs? able to install XBMC? where do you buy it? amazon or ipmart?

I'm thinking of buying one media player. Before this I prefer Minix Neo 8-h but after reading some review and youtube videos on the Fire tv..I get excited to buy it. Care to share your experience on Fire tv?

XBMC is not my main concern because I usually download movies and put it in my Plex server. So I can watch it with Plex app. For Live TV I can use any IPTV app available.

tried MyIPTV apk (someone sell on lyn) on FireTV and IPTV apk (from lelong). Both not working. maybe android compatibility issue. xbmc and spmc have issues on FireTV. always crash when try to run LIVE TV and Youtube videos.

Just wanna share with you guys my link for LIVE TV and LIVESTREAM. Both basically have the same channel but LIVESTREAM got more channel. I will update this from time to time on my free time. All links are found on the internet. Don't ask for EPG because I don't use it. Enjoy ya! thumbup.gif

how to add LIVE TV:

System > Add-ons > Enabled Add-ons > PVR Clients > PR IPTV Simple Client > Configure > Location : Remote Path (Internet Address) > M3U Playlist URL : http://tinyurl.com/ABEminLIVETV > Unselect Cache m3u at local storage > OK

Restart XBMC

how to add LIVESTREAM:

-Install LiveStreamPro by Shani

Video > Add-ons > Right Click LiveStreamPro > Add-ons Setting > Add Source > Choose Source type : Enter URL > Add URL : http://tinyurl.com/ABEminLIVESTREAM > Add Source

ps: During weekend maybe I will put some adult channel. Use at your own risk ok. whistling.gif

bro,

a bit new on this thing.... about livetv using iptv simple client, can there be 2 or more .m3u? i already hv one in use, can't seem to find an option/selection to put a second one...?

live streampro... thumbup.gif tq.
i wait for those sport channels* under test to complete!
on pc, u copy and save on usb drive that long text file (paste bin link) on a simple text doc and name it anything u wish but as .xml file and in utf8 code. put usb drive into yr device.

then, install livestreampro the usual way if u dun already have it installed: video/addons/get more, assuming u hv the repos...
then, go to system/settings/video addons/enabled addons to find live streampro to configure.
androids: add source/choose file/rootfile system/mnt/sdb to find that .xml file
choose that file ok, click add source. u get prompt to name it, ok.
exit and play the addon like any other.

Sorry for late reply. Been busy. Just like @alien9 said. You can use IPTV Simple client 2 to add more m3u file OR you can use Playlist Loader addon. follow this youtube tutorial. Playlist Loader

Last time I have an XML for users outside Malaysia to stream local channels. The stream link was from Tonton. Its in F4m format and you need F4M tester addon from Shani. Now seems not working maybe because we now need to login to Tonton first to view live tv. I'll post it here IF I can make it works. biggrin.gif tongue.gif

abemin I already paste my list into pastebin but it still doesn't work. Do I need to change syntax hightlighting?

If you want to host m3u file, the header should be like this

CODE
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1, channel name
link (.m3u8, etc2)

#EXTINF:-1 radio="true",radio name
link (.flv, bla2)


Kindly check the comma, and hashtag. Save with .m3u extension or not it doesn't matter, click RAW.

Copy the link for RAW file for example

CODE
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=ATBrt8Tr


Go to any shorten link website for example tinyurl. Paste your link there. Grab the short link generated and use it in M3U playlist URL in your IPTV setting.

Enjoy! icon_rolleyes.gif

Just happened to find it on the net. You may use below link in your IPTV URL

or open it your browser, copy and edit the title of the channel. I have tested few channels and so far all of them work for me.

Have fun ya. icon_rolleyes.gif
