nice one!

Maybe you could upload the plugin (zip) at XBMCZone.com and the sources in the Google Code SVN and write up a repo.xml same as I did here so people can install your plugin through the SVN Repo Installer.

Is this stuttery as hell for anyone except me? It's strange, if I pause for a long time and then unpause, it's fine.. Do I need to increase cache size or something?

(Xbox and recent t3ch by the way)

just out of curiosity what speed connection are you using?

you mentioned this about the adult swim plugin but i haven't experienced the issue. i just thought it might be a bandwidth issue if it is common across other plugins.

Thanks for the plugin. =) i love this stuff

Don't know, it's time warner cable... Has never been an issue before! Smile

But thanks for the tip, I'll look into that!

@w3__
What build / version are you using? Had a similar issue with Flash movies with an older build and it seemed much better with a newer one. Grab an test 9.04 alpha and see how it goes there.

BTW jbel, This all works great now. Would love love LOVE to see a "Default Player" option and also fixing the encapsulation thing where I have to drill into a folder and then into another folder to play a piece of media.

- w3__ - 2009-06-16

Can I also recommend a 'play in sequence' button at the top of all actual media pages?

Love to see more plugins like this (or one single plugin for "OpenCourseWare" with for all academics lecture)
http://www.google.com/search?q=opencourseware

The Open University in the UK is for example a very nice site for lectures and videos courses like these:
http://www.open.ac.uk (Boxee does by the way have a python script as and "app" for this).

Course Directories Empty - buechler66 - 2009-10-24

Hi. I manually installed this plug-in...my first ever plug-in installation. It seems to be working up to the point where I select an actual course name. At this point it just takes me to what appears to be an empty folder with the 'back arrow' and '..'.

Am I doing something wrong? I guess I'm expecting it begin downloading the lecture, buffering to a point, and then playing it back.

Any suggestions?

Error in regular expression - abollaert - 2009-11-05

Hi,

you'll have to edit the plugin's default.py script a little bit. The regular expression that's responsible for loading the courses doesn't match anymore.

You'll have to change the function def load_lectures(url) to look like this:

Code:
def load_lectures(url):

    # displays lectures parsed from a course page

    # ex. URL: http://academicearth.org/courses/programming-abstractions

    response = get_response(url)

    # lectures pattern

    p = '<a class="thumb" href="/lectures/(.+?)" style="position: absolute;">\s*' \

        '<img src="/img/play-icon-small.png" width="21" height="21" alt="" border="0" class="play-icon" />\s*' \

        '<img src="(.+?)" alt=".+?" class="thumb-144" />\s*' \

        '</a>\s*' \

        '<a class="add" href=".+?">favorites</a>\s*' \

        '<div class="description">\s*' \

        '<h4><a href=".+?">(.+?)</a></h4>\s*' \

        '<p>' \

        '([^<]*)'

    matches = re.compile(p).findall(response)

    lectures = [(title, BASE_URL + '/lectures/' + lectureUrl,

                BASE_URL + thumb, desc) for lectureUrl, thumb, title,

                                            desc in matches]

    [add_dir(title, url, 4, thumb, desc) for title, url, thumb,

                                             desc in lectures]

Cheers,

Alex

I installed it in Dharma beta4 but it doesn't work: I get a script error (addon.py).
