Actually with this release and the latest nightly XBMC build I am able to get ABC, NBC, CBS, and USA to work on ATV2. The rest of the feeds do not work however. I keep thinking that there must be a solution if this plugin works on other devices. This is an amazing plugin and I truly long for all to work properly.

If I might drop a quick suggestion, I'd say AMC is pretty important, especially with the new season of "The Walking Dead" coming up this fall. And frankly, FOX and AMC are the only channels worth watching, but you should still keep the other ones because some other people sometimes like to watch them.

Keep up the good work.

Buffer Control - chernics - 2011-06-18

Hey BlueCop

The latest XBMC nighties offer an advanced setting called 'cachemembuffersize' which allows for specifying a larger buffer-ahead cache than default for streamed content. It works nicely in a few plugins (YouTube, IceFilms, CNN); since it circumvents the pause issue (video continues to buffer whilst paused) and also smooths playback on choppy connections (since video buffers significantly ahead whilst playing).

Any chance of adding support for this to FreeCable? Unless it's a librtmp limitation?

Once again, thanks for an awesome plugin!

Currently with Dharma, you can set it in advancedsettings.xml, too. It does help smoothing out YouTube for me.

Free Cable Issue - aggie98 - 2011-06-22

I just installed the latest release of XBMC and the Free Cable plug-ins, but am having issues getting the NBC Universal sites (Syfy, USA Network, NBC). I am getting Script Failed: Plugin.Video.NBC.Universal. Any suggestions? I am running on Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.

Thanks,
aggie98

Have you tried updating your librtmp?

http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=808148&postcount=66


- mrdally204 - 2011-07-07

Hey Bluecop,
I'm just wondering what the status of this add on is? Are there any plans to do anything more with it, more "stations" or added features? I'm loving it right now, just curious as to what the future holds for this gem.


- Iceman72 - 2011-07-07

Is there anyway you could add BET to the channel list?


- BlueCop - 2011-07-07

mrdally204: I have been working on it. I have completed almost all the listed stations plus a few more. I had a few problems with vh1 shows. They only use the level3 CDNs and they don't want to stream. all other viacom companies seem to work fine though (spike, mtv shows, comedy central, the nickelodeon sites) but they use a different CDN. I think I have fixed most of the lingering bugs in the various stations. aggregating the mtv shows required a little bit of work because they separate them by season. tvdb support is there. It might need more testings adding/removing individual shows. Like when a new show is added to a site. I wanted to do a 1.0.0 release but I am probably going to do an intermediate release without all the station art because it doesn't really look good yet and making art is hell for me. The aggregate show listing looks great though because it has all the station information and art from tvdb.

Iceman72: BET shouldn't be a problem. It is another viacom company that uses their video uri system.
