Great, then I don't have to edit them manually in the future. Laugh

BlueCop Wrote:KindSir: I want the plugin to be able to prompt the user to update itself when needed since they don't have the add on system. Give me a while to get something setup and then I will add downloads for the available plugins which could then be updated on the xbox. at least that's my plan.



I have been working on adult swim and cartoon network a little. Not much has changed. I want them to be really polished because they use http and I can submit them to the official repo.

I have been researching other plug-ins.
TBS & TNT - both similar systems and it's pretty easy to get the rtmp and auths.
AMC & A&E - uses AMF gateway to get rtmp which is a little more complicated but I have used pyAMF before in my NBC Universal plugin.

I have found some good feeds for shows and episodes on TBS & TNT which use the same setup just on different sites. I still need to find some ways to list episodes for amc and a&e.

I would like to look at abc too and finish nbc but they are a low priority right now because they have the same content on hulu. I would like to do something for the full episodes on comedy central. Their system uses the mtvn uri system on all viacom companies so that should be easy.

I really don't mean to try to spread out too much. I just don't see them being made right now and they have content I would like to have the option to watch. If anyone else is interested in making plug-ins for these sites drop me a pm and I will forward you my research if you want. I would love for more people to make some of these. If not then I will try to slowly complete what I can.

Thanks for the XBOX love! Appreciate your work. I have been dying to see Hulu specifically working on the XBOX but being more patient. Big Grin I am REALLY hoping that XBMC4XBOX gets a ADON manager that will work with the standard XBMC plugins at some point. You programmers are what keep XBMC Alive!

great stuff man

Added a new plugin for TNT mainly because I like Leverage. TBS is also working but has a bug I am working on so I will commit it later. I also have Adult swim and cartoon network working but I want to rewrite them to use beautiful soup rather then element tree.

Bluecop,

Any idea when the update will be available to workaround the Hulu SMIL issue? Appreciate your work on this, by the way. Your plugins are the *only* reason I'm using the beta at this point instead of my 9.11 install.

I have to know what smil issue you are talking about. I am not having a problem

I think he's talking about the error you get when you try to play Premium Content without a Plus Account

BlueCop: Excellent work on all the plugins, Looking forward to TBS and Cartoon network too.

If you get a chance can you also write a plugin for ESPN3? I am just getting started with XBMC and hopefully I'll be able to help you out in writing/fixing these plugins.


- BlueCop - 2010-09-12 23:01

I am not really a sports guy so I am not very motivated to do it. It is just unlikely I will work on it because I won't get the same reward for myself in the end. I still have other projects that have content I want that are unfinished. I know I sound selfish but writing plugins is a completely selfish pursuit for me. Sorry if this wasn't the answer you wanted.

You should try to write it though. Post any problems in the python dev forum and I will try to help.

BlueCop, I totally understand and I would do the same :-) I will to get upto speed writing these plugins myself, and thanks for offering help.
