Over at AppleTVBBS, poster mtech figured out how to stream Internet radio using VLC. He installed a copy of VLC and my perlbin plug-in and then created individual “station” files in /Users/frontrow/perlbin along the following lines:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $status = system("/Users/frontrow/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC http://wnycam.streamguys.com");
According to a follow-up post, you can also create a pls playlist for use with the ATVFiles plug-in.
its interesting but we need tp figure out a clean model of getting things in box withouth sshing. I wonder if we could leverage bits of a Democracy to monitor subscription lists and download things based on subscriptions and also build play lists automatically
has anyone tried getting the apple tv to work like an airport extreme? see this article http://www.macgeekery.com/tips/configuration/playing_live_audio_on_another_mac
