the problem is with a missing library, I've just updated the link to a new channel 7 package:

The new version with BeautifulSoup library included (plus720.05) installs and runs OK, to watch.

But I don't understand how to save to disk. I select that mode, but I don't see anything saved. Does it save as it is playing, rather than (like p7Napper, etc) downloading at a much faster rate using rtmpdump?

No, that was obvious and the folders and rtmpdump.exe are accurately entered. If not, wouldn't your code spit the dummy? I'll make both paths obviously bad, and test that supposition.

Yes, on attempting to play or save to disk, wrong paths cause a script error.

This is how I attempt to (save) Record to Disk: once the Plus7 Series menu comes up, I select it (eg, Beauty and the Geek Australia), then right-click on an episode (eg, BAG series 4 episode 4), and choose Record to Disk. Is there more to do? Or is that incorrect?

You can also capture the log and put in pastebin, put the pastebin URL in your next post

OK, examining the log I see that the save path needs a trailing / - XBMC itself should have better checking, or it could be done withn your python script.
I can now see the video is being saved to disk (lots of underscore characters ?), but I don't see a visible window from the rtmpdump process (though rtmpdump is active in Windows Task Manager).

So, it's working.

I can't say that I'm in love with the XBMC UI.

The names used for the output files are sourced from the webpage. I'm not an expert on the XBMC API myself so I'm not sure how to display the background task in the UI without it "blocking" the rest of the app
