Hi, I'd like to add url streams and this is really new to me, but I know I need to do this.
Firstly you mentioned you have to do it "yourself" with the pipe://-handler, What is this? a program or simply just an output with pipe://......
Secondly you mentioned you can add them using avconv/ffmpeg, put something like this in a script. I've got no idea of script writing or exeuting etc.
I've copied the script you wrote in notepad and then saved as a .vbs Do I need to execute this somehow and integrate the url.
this is completly new to me
