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.
