Spanner Wrote:Ah. That sounds like it could be the problem then, eh? Veoh is only sending a preview, rather than the full thing. Perhaps there's a way to either log into Veoh from XBMC as Demogorgan says (maybe even automatically when the script starts? Sorry if this is a tall order or utterly impractical/impossible. I know precisely nothing about programming ), or either pull up info on the video first so we know where it's streaming from before beginning to watch. At least that way we'd know if it's a preview and likely to get cut off.
I wonder if logging into Veoh from the PC and staying logged in will prompt Veoh to send the full video to XBMC? Is that how it works (sorry - bit of a dunce when it comes to all this stuff )?
Still, this is one step closer to figuring out the problem, so thanks for mentioning it, Demogorgan.
Does anyone know if there are any other sites that work this way (with the preview thing for non-members)?

mby2j Wrote:Hi, ive just downloaded it and it looks great, 1 question though, how do you record using the xbox pad and not the remote control?

Unbehagen Wrote:Edit the default.py and find the line:

Code:

if action == ACTION_SHOW_INFO:

and change ACTION_SHOW_INFO to any of:

Code:

ACTION_MOVE_LEFT
ACTION_MOVE_RIGHT
ACTION_MOVE_UP
ACTION_MOVE_DOWN
ACTION_PAGE_UP
ACTION_PAGE_DOWN
[color=Red] ACTION_SELECT_ITEM[/color]
ACTION_HIGHLIGHT_ITEM
ACTION_PARENT_DIR
ACTION_PREVIOUS_MENU
ACTION_SHOW_INFO
ACTION_PAUSE
ACTION_STOP
ACTION_NEXT_ITEM
ACTION_PREV_ITEM

See if this works for you.

mby2j Wrote:Thanks, I changed it to Action_Select_Item and now when you select the item it asks you if you wish to download it first, click cancel and then it will play. Can confirm that the download fuction works perfectly! Thanks Unbehagen & obviously Pvtschlag for the fantastic script

Unbehagen Wrote:I think I found a better solution:

Within the first lines with all the ACTION_... constants definitions, add the following:

Code:

ACTION_CONTEXT_MENU     = 117

and replace

Code:

if action == ACTION_SHOW_INFO:

with

Code:

if ((action == ACTION_SHOW_INFO) or (action == ACTION_CONTEXT_MENU)):

After this, you can press the A button to stream and the white button to download media (on the pad). If you use the remote, the Enter button plays media and the info button downloads it.

I think you two need to team up on these

Quote:I am interested for this to follow AMT's footsteps and move over
to a database and enable Search and also so it can store the information
so everytime the script is loaded, it won't have to fetch all the data.
I also would like to add in a Favourites option,
and move it over to winxml and make it look SLEXY!

Quote:Also, we would need to move over to a SVN, i nominate:
http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-scripting/

Then we can each keep uptodate with each other :-D
Im no good at URL parsing etc, but anything else i can usually do.

Quote:Also, we then could add in a self updating feature like Xbmc lyrics and
