    Default Adding new streams to Plex Server with Roku client

    I have had great success adding live TV RTMP streams to my Vu+Duo. But the Vu+Duo will not play MMS streams.

    I have installed a Plex server on my laptop and Plex on my Roku.

    According to the guide I can stream live channels by including a .strm file in a sub-directory i have called Users/User/IPTV on my PC. There is a Stream Maker Tool at dev.plexapp.com/tools/strmtool.php I wanted to add a TV station from my home town in the Netherlands called GPTV so i made a .strm file and added the following

    Original url from URL helper

    Conversion

    plex://localhost/video/:/webkit?url=http%3A%2F%2F85.17.92.99%2Fgptv

    When I play the channel it returns an error. M#U* cannot load. 404 not found.

    Can anyone help so that this channel will play? Otherwise is there some other really easy way to add custom live TV streams to any channel on the ROKU?

    You could try this it works with Serviio DLNA server with it's live video plugin from plugins pack but Serviio does not work with Roku
    mmsh://85.17.92.99/gptv?MSWMExt=.asf
    or
    mms://85.17.92.99/gptv

    Thanks Pheggie. I was able to view GPTV channel in Serviio but as I do not have a smart TV I can't view it on the flat screen.

    As an alternative I subscribed to Playon Premium Lifetime. I tried to make a plugin for GPTV with the Playon Scriptmaker but without success. Sounded so easy! Are you able to see where I have gone wrong on this script?

    --Code generated by the Script Maker is licensed under GPL v3

    --[[Settings
    name = "New Script";
    id = "New_Script";
    description = "New Script made with PlayOnScripts.com Script Maker";
    version = "1.0";
    link = "http://www.playonscripts.com/";
    apiversion = "1";
    EndSettings]]--
    --[[Update
    return nil;
    EndUpdate]]--
    --[[Director
    function director:GetPlayerViewingRectangle(playerSize)
    return Rectangle(0, 0, playerSize.Width, playerSize.Height - 30);
    end;
    EndDirector]]--


    function New_Script_Resolve(url)
    _SPECIAL_resolve_xml = '<media><url type="flash">'..str_html_encode(url)..'</url><options><AudioAbortInterval>30</AudioAbortInterval><VideoAbortInterval>30</VideoAbortInterval></options></media>';
    end

    _vr("GPTV", "code:New_Script_Resolve('http://85.17.92.99/gptv')", "GPTV Friesland", "", ConvertTime("00:00:00"))
    --code root_0


    --do not edit below this line

    Thanks for your help!

    car54 here is a working playon script for GPTV Friesland to download I made

    The reason yours doesn't work is because it's a windows media player stream not a flash stream so needs some special code to handle it.

    It works! Thanks Pheggie I now can now see GPTV on the flat screen. I successfully hacked the code to get another WMV channel to also work successfully. Thanks for your help.
