A-Z in TV works fine for me. No errors.

it seems like you didn't copy the new db or you copied it in the wrong dir. If that's the case neither movies should work. The new version has an extra table to keep track of ice urs, so you can have metadata in search results.

If you have some time try it and let me know.

@westcoast13:

Are you planning on updating official version ?

Yes, I'm working on this right now, with a little help from anarchintosh, in the next few days I hope there will be an official release with all my patches and a few bug fixes...

Anyway, if anyone tried my 1.0.5 version and found any problems, please tell me, so they will be fixed in the official release.

@westcoast13

hmm .. looks like their is an update to IceFilms Plugin 1.6 which causes XBMC to download the update and overwrote the custom build that you made ...

Please make sure you got all changes in before changing version of plugin or else we will get first update only ...


xbmc super buffer patch - anarchintosh - 2011-03-17 13:42

@crashx
westcoast is committing via git repo, so that stuff is resolved

@everyone
cool new thing:
tiben20 has written a cool patch that gives xbmc streaming a wicked buffer that will solve our intermittent buffering problems when streaming large video files such as those on icefilms.
(it caches to file, just like when you use youtube)

i would like people to test it (do not attempt if you are really noobish)

Steps to take:
1. get the latest xbmc source code
download from here https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc
2. download the patch http://www.multiupload.com/JIUS5E72JW
choose the latest patch from the rar
3. apply the patch to the source code (google 'how to apply a patch to source')
4. compile the binary for your platform (google 'how to build xbmc')
5. install your binary and test away

Things to test: *WITHOUT MEGAUP PREMIUM*
- pause when streaming from megaup free (leave it on pause for twenty minutes, and then play it for another 10 minutes)
- rewinding / skipping backwards
- check the files in the xbmc/temp directory, and check that after you have finished streaming a whole file, the video .avi file appears in there with its proper name

if you find any bugs, please report them on this thread!

the sooner this is tested / sorted out, (assuming that xbmc team accepts the patch) the sooner this will go into the xbmc nightlies Smile

If anyone compiles this for osx can you please post a link I would love to test it but dont have the skills to patch and compile.

I'm curious.. how long does this file remain after you've finished streaming?

Also, does anyone know if the new builds will also have the patch which shows the buffer progress? (again similar to how youtube displays) - having this would be another good indicator on how this http streaming patch is working

when patch enters nightly builds (if it is accepted by xbmc team) i'll add support for moving that file to library. so you can save the video files you stream.
but as i said it needs testing!

this patch is built upon that patch that displays buffering progress, in fact it improves the old one a lot.
