making .asx files?

[orangesuburban]

so i found on here, i think it was here, an .asx file that had a few tv channels in it.

how does that work? i googled .asx but it didnt really help. i know of a few sites that stream tv for the computer, is there any way i can turn their feed into an .ask file to use on my WX?

(if this is the wrong place to put it please move it.)

Yea, its real simple. Just open up notepad and create one using the following layout/tutorial. And if ya wanna, you could share it!

PS I nice thing would be maybe a couple .asxs that stream music but are grouped by categories. Say one for Hiphop and R&B, Country, Rock, and so on.....that would be kind of cool eh? Instead of having to use thestreamcenter.com and clicking links you could just skip through and find the links ur looking for.

ASX Files (Windows Media Metafiles)
Below is a typical layout of an ASX file created in notepad, and used with Windows Media Player:

<ASX version="3.0" BANNERBAR="AUTO">
<ABSTRACT>Your Radio</ABSTRACT>
<TITLE>Your Radio</TITLE>
<AUTHOR>http://www.yourradio.com</AUTHOR>
<COPYRIGHT>(c)2006 Your Radio</COPYRIGHT>
<MOREINFO href="http://www.yourradio.com" />
<REPEAT>
<ENTRY>
<ABSTRACT>Your Radio</ABSTRACT>
<TITLE>Your Radio</TITLE>
<REF HREF="http://rs2.radiostreamer.com/yourradio" />
<PARAM NAME="Location" VALUE="Chicago, USA" />
<PARAM NAME="Genre" VALUE="Rock" />
<PARAM NAME="Homepage" VALUE="http://www.yourradio.com" />
<AUTHOR>http://www.yourradio.com</AUTHOR>
<COPYRIGHT>(c)2006 Your Radio</COPYRIGHT>
<MOREINFO HREF="http://www.yourradio.com" />
</ENTRY>
</REPEAT>
</ASX>

Here "Your Radio" would be replaced by the name of your station/website. The section which reads "<REF HREF="http://rs2.radiostreamer.com/yourradio" />" identifies the stream location "http://rs2...." and publishing point "/yourradio" of your stream. This information you will receive from your Streaming Server provider.

One you have amended this information you are free to save it into the ASX format. In any text editor this is done simply by saving it as "youradio.asx" in the Save As dialog. If you have correctly performed this task you will see a Windows Media Player icon showing the filename.
