Use Ace Engine to stream to vlc (and maybe chromecast)

Make sure you installed Ace Stream media 3.1 from http://www.acestream.org/

  1. Open "Ace Stream Media Center"
  2. Go to http://127.0.0.1:6878/webui/app/XBsF06CtbkkB/server#proxy-server-add-item
  3. Give it a title
  4. In CONTENT-ID put the acestream content id
  5. Click ADD-TO-PLAYLIST
  6. If it doesn't move you to a new screen go to http://127.0.0.1:6878/webui/app/XBsF06CtbkkB/server#proxy-server-playlist
  7. Now there's a list with a row with your title (should be the only one if it's your first time)
  8. Click the arrow next to play in the list and choose VLC or the chromecast device (chromecast not working for me yet)
  9. enjoy! works great with VLC

You can also just play http://127.0.0.1:6878/ace/getstream?id=<acestream hash>

Any idea on how to make it work for Apple TV ? I see the device in the dropdown list but it always says "failed to start" after buffering :/

Latest release seems to now work with http://127.0.0.1:6878/webui/player/<acestream hash>?autoplay=true assuming that your browser has the AceScript extension installed
