I'm happy to announce the initial release of my XBMC Plugin, XBMCTV.  The XBMCTV plugin provides easy access to thousands of streaming videos from many sources around the net.  The plugin requires XBMC Dharma, if you're not familiar with XBMC you can read up about it here.

The current features:
Around 2000 videos available

The latest version of the plugin can be found here:

To install the plugin just follow these steps:


Download the ZIP file and save to a location accessible by XBMC.

After installation the plugin will appear under Videos > Video Add-ons > XBMCTV


At the moment the video collection is limited to a few thousand streams so if you have any video RSS feeds you want added then leave a link in the comments below.  Also any feature requests are welcome just leave them in the comments.

  3. @cakuzo the difference is that the current "Live Streams" does live streaming, this streams pre-recorded content.
