playing music from a url in xbmc

nmirza · 2008-03-31, 17:07

Hi,
I usually lsited to a certain online radio station through winamp by adding the url to playlist, it has an m3u extension. is there any way to add the url to my music library and playing it from xbmc, or maybe even creating a shortcut/favourites for it from my home screen?

you must certainly be the first one trying to do this - it is extremely likely that stuff like this is in the friendly manual. oh wait, no it isnt.
