Template:XBMC wiki toc XBMC contains an HTTP-client with which you can add sources in all sections in the XBMC interface.

Source formatting

Formatting in sources.xml:

Example (if any variables are not needed, omit the required punctuation):

  <source>
    <!--to connect as anonymous use "http://ipaddress:port/" or just "http://ipaddress"-->
    <path>http://username:password@ipaddress:port/directory/|option1=value1&option2=value2</path>
  </source>

Examples of options include "auth", which is required if your HTTP server uses any type of authentication other than basic. E.g. if your HTTP server uses digest authentication, use http://username:password@host:port/directory/|auth=digest. For maximum flexibility, use auth=any or auth=anysafe (i.e. anything other than basic).

Other options include:

  • Referer
  • User-Agent
  • Cookie
  • Encoding

For the meanings of these, see RFC 2616.
