So just what can be used with the IPTV plugin? Any links to sites known to work?
The plugin was designed to watch multicast MPEG2 transport streams provided by finnish Internet operators, but the EXT protocol allows you to use it for every possible stream you can receive and transcode on your Linux machine.
The plugin comes with an example script that utilizes VLC (www.videolan.org) for streaming and transcoding. Just add for example NasaTV to the first URL entry of the script and then modify channels.conf according to it:
iptvstream.sh: 1) URL="http://www.nasa.gov/<COMPLETE-URL-HERE>.asx" ;;
channels.conf: NasaTV;IPTV:1:IPTV|S0P0|EXT|iptvstream.sh|1:P:0:2:3:0:0:1:0:0:0
If you can watch a stream via VLC, you can use it as IPTV source.
