Could someone tell me why I can not read any .strm files while this is not a problem with xbmc???  
  
  
  
I have a folder containing a file.strm for each tv live channel pointing to my HDHomeRun tuner, with inside the following code:  
  
  
  
hdhomerun://1220B6D0-1/tuner1?channel=auto8c:306&program=1 for example  
  
  
  
This way, a can watch any channel with XBMC by simply adding the folder as a source!  
  
  
  
Thanks,  
  
JonKP

But the Same Problems.
