Sorry to see this happen. You were my xbmc hero (really). If you change your mind, post about it. I subscribe to this and Free Cable.

BTW: I know you are going quiet but I want you to know what a difference you made. I have a mother in law with brain tumors. She went and had a surgery, but it didn't go well and ended up in the hospital for a couple weeks. When she got home she found herself out of money to pay the cable bill and it got shut off. I set up a xbmc machine and installed Free Cable, as she is bed ridden and couldn't get out of bed. This is the thing that has gotten her over the last few weeks. She couldn't have done it without you, so at the end of the day, no matter what turd face said about you, you are a hero.

Sad to see you go BlueCop. Half of the reason I use xbmc is due to your excellent plugins- ESPN, Free Cable, and Hulu. Hopefully there will be a way for appreciative users here to continue to use your updated plugins wherever they may be posted even if it means getting no support or you never posting here again. Take care.

Thanks BlueCop! - mst3kroqs - 2012-02-03 21:26

As a fellow open-source coder, I really appreciate what you have done!

Sorry to hear the knuckleheads have gotten you down, but I do also understand what you are saying about flash publicity.

peebs Wrote:So, updating librtmp in Ubuntu (XBMC Live 10.1 runs atop Ubuntu 10.04.2) isn't an easy task for the uninitiated. I used three "verified" methods before finally coming across a fourth that actually worked.

As Bluecop somewhat vaguely stated, not having an updated librtmp causes the content videos to not play correctly. Something to do with older versions not supporting the newest "handshake", or not giving Hulu a reach-around, or something to that effect. Installing the newest version from git, however, seems to result in happy endings for everyone.

Here's how I updated librtmp, a part of the package rtmpdump:

Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential git-core checkinstall libssl-dev

Then...
Code:
cd ~/ && \
git clone git://git.ffmpeg.org/rtmpdump && \
cd rtmpdump && \
version="$(git log -1 --abbrev-commit | grep commit | cut -d' ' -f2)" && \
make VERSION="v2.4\ $version~git" && \
sudo checkinstall --pakdir "$HOME/Desktop" --pkgname rtmpdump \
--pkgversion "2.4-$version~git" --backup=no --default && sudo ldconfig

Everything seems to work swimmingly, now.

Is there a way I can see if I updated librtmp correctly? I followed the steps but got an error at the end. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

really appreciate all the hard work you have put in. I have been using your work for a while, with no errors, and hate to see idiots saying dumb things. Best of luck to ya man!!

No offense but I feel I have to say this cause it looks so obvious to me but these wankers that offended Bluecop look like they're cable investors and/or MPAA fanbois who purposely made accounts here so that the can cause someone so much grieve as to drive them to delete their addons, in that case he's doing exactly as what they wanted him to do and like I said no offense but then "they" win.


ASCII decode error for TVShowTitle (and fix) - artrafael - 2012-02-04 07:44

Hi BlueCop,

I don't know if you're still following this thread or not, but in case you are, I encountered the following error in _menu.py when I selected TV / Recently Added / Recently Added Clips: http://pastebin.com/a1fTfLTh

I was able to fix it by changing line 180 from:
Code:
infoLabels['TVShowTitle'] = data.findtext('show_name')
to:
Code:
infoLabels['TVShowTitle'] = data.findtext('show_name').encode('utf-8')

Thanks again for all your great work and support of the XBMC community!

Hi BlueCop,

I updated my xbmc live install to eden beta 2. Tried the hulu plug in and it wouldn't load after the spinning circle went away. I tried changing the streaming options from limelight, to level3, to akmai. none worked.

here is a paste of my log, immediately after xbmc told me it failed to play one or more files.

http://pastebin.com/5UqYjLC0

The plug in works in my other eden beta 2 installs (atv2 and ipad2), I'd love to have it work on my main tv. Can you please help?

Thank you

First, thanks BlueCop for making such a great add-on, sorry to see you go.

Secondly, I was hoping someone could help me with 2 very small problems. Hulu runs great. The first issue, which I've read other people ask about but didn't find a solution, was if the queue could be alphabetized. Latest I could find was that it could not.

Next, I read that the add-on supported stop/resume. If I stop a show and start it again, it starts over. Is there a button I need to toggle to have this feature? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
