Archive talk:Play free P2P (peer-to-peer) online streaming TV
There are several other peer-to-peer (P2P) IPTV systems out there. You can help by listing/linking those you know here, so we can test and decide on adding others on the article:.
P2PTV (P2PTVServer) (http://bbs.xboxchina.com/read.php?tid-10223.html)
There actually already exist a (chinese) P2PTV python script for XBMC (which can be downloaded from the above link together with the P2PTVServer PC application), however one has to register on a that forum to download them and it and it is all in chinese, maybe someone who speaks Chinese can help to translate it all to English and host the P2PTV script and the P2PTVServer PC application somewhere else?
ppstream (http://www.ppstream.com)
Very hard to use unless you know Chinese (maybe someone who speaks Chinese can help?)! Lots of channels though, (but kinda annoying process to find channels), still probably the best for choice of channels. Unsure about viewing this via Xbox/XBMC. More investigation needed, and help is wanted here.
Now added to the main article - just get the stream URL from the media player and put that in URLPaster.
SopCast (http://www.sopcast.org)
Fast and easy to use. Has a built-in server which can be viewed from the Xbox/XBMC. Downside is that SopCast does not really seem to have any good English channels.

TVkoo (http://www.tvkoo.com)
TVkoo is nice since it airs channels that only play specific shows, like for example 'marathon channels'.
TvNoo (http://www.euchannels.net)
TvNoo is a TvKOO clone, not been tested by a XBMC user yet. Does seem to have many European and Skandinavian channels.

There are now also plently of websites that offer non-P2P streaming TV-episodes and thus better suited for python scripting, here are just some:
