This addon looks promising but none of the videos will play. Is this addon broken?

RE: Engineering TV episodes - Wally25 - 2014-02-14

O crap. I must check that out but unfortunately I don't have
any proper Internet right now. Just my mobile. Will fix as soon as I can.
Had a big storm where I live.

RE: Engineering TV episodes - pdops - 2014-02-15

The YouTube channel links work fine. Hope you're surviving the storm OK.

RE: Engineering TV episodes - Wally25 - 2014-02-16

I think that I have a temporary fix if anyone is interested in testing.
Just go to plugin.video.engineeringtv/resources/lib/main.py and change line 147

From: url = re.findall('link=(\S+?)" autoplay controls poster', sourceCode)[0]
To: url = re.findall('src=\\"(http://\S+?)" autoplay controls poster', sourceCode)[0]

RE: Engineering TV episodes - pdops - 2014-02-16

No joy with the temporary fix for me but I'm a newbie with this stuff. I used WinSCP and edited this file

/home/pi/.xbmc/addons/plugin.video.engineeringtv/resources/lib/main.py

When I try to play a movie I get "An unexpected error has occurred" I then rebooted and tried again with the same error.

Same, otherwise I was enjoying this plugin Smile

RE: Engineering TV episodes - pdops - 2014-02-25

Thanx for the fixes and update. I tried a couple of movies which both played OK.

RE: Engineering TV episodes - pdops - 2014-02-26

When selecting 'Play All' from the context menu the first video plays fine but then it errors out ('Problem loading video' or some such). This has happened several times and in different categories of videos.

RE: Engineering TV episodes - Wally25 - 2014-02-26

Interesting, Will look into that. Thanks for testing.
Bugs will always find there way in.

Unfortunately I can't seam to recreate the problem that you are having. If I may ask, what version of xbmc are you running and what type of Operating System are you running it on. Thanks

RE: Engineering TV episodes - pdops - 2014-02-26

RaspbMC on a Raspberry Pi

RE: Engineering TV episodes - Wally25 - 2014-02-26

Give me a few day and i should be able to test that out on my own Pi. But someone else has it at the moment.
