Appendix: Including
Custom Streams
Once you obtained an IP TV or Radio stream URL,
you will need to create a container file for your
stream. Depending on the stream format,
different container files are available.
QuickTime (SDP files)
SDP (MOV) files are references to streams in the popular
QuickTime format. These files are created by the QuickTime
Broadcaster and are provided by the respective IP TV provider.
To add SDP files to MediaCentral, please complete the
following steps:
‣ In the Finder, copy the file into “My MediaCentral“ > “My IP
TV” or “My Radio“
‣ In MediaCentral, start the stream by accessing it via “My IP
TV“ or “My Radio“
Real Player (RAM)
RAM files are used to embed the stream URL of channels
broadcasting in the Real Player format. They contain nothing
but the Real stream URL:
rtsp://www.somerver.gxc/real.rm
To create a RAM file:
‣ Open your preferred text editor
‣ Copy your stream URL into a new file
‣ Store the file as plain text and make sure that the file
extension is “.ram“
‣ In the Finder, copy the RAM file to “My MediaCentral“ > “My
Radio” or “My IP TV“
Note Real Audio streams have the extension .ra, whereas
Real Video streams end in .rm.
Windows Media (ASX)
The ASX format was invented by Microsoft to allow for
embedding ASF streams in local files. ASX files contain the
stream URL in an HTML-like format:
<ASX version = "3.0">
<TITLE>Simple ASX File</TITLE>
<ENTRY>
!
<TITLE>This is a great IP TV Channel</
TITLE>
!
<REF HREF = "mms://someserver.gxc/
yourchannel.asf" />
