When I try to install XBMC.MyLibrary - 1.3.1 downloaded from [http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-mylibrary/downloads/list] I receive a message saying "add-on does not have correct structure"

Any thoughts?

This isn't an addon; It's a supplementary tool. Read the first post.

From Log

Quote:Title cannot be found, it was expected to be found after one of [ - , : , :, -, : , -- ] in the file label "1x2 Episode 2 - Help Us Help You"
Cannot be archived: series=null, title=null, season=1, episode=2
Channel/TV shows/Genres/Zombies/Death Valley (2011)/Season 1/1x2 Episode 2 - Help Us Help You
Somewhere it is pulling "name" from the wrong location. As episode is clearly labled in subfolder list above.
I am presuming that my addon pulls data slightly differently as it will find multiple sources for each episode unlike HULU. So can the script be modified to allow Tittle to be seen by MYLibrary differently?

Thankyou,...it would nice if someone replied..

Anyone ?? please see othe posts.

I believe the naming conventions of your plugin are throwing things off.

Code:

1x2 Episode 2 - Help Us Help You

is not normal/typical is that it has the SxE as well as "Episode X". This is throwing off the parsing.
It it was named

Code:

1x2 - Help Us Help You

, then it would work just fine.

OK I found it. This will archive all movies and episodes in your Netflix Instant Queue using the XBCFlicks plugin:

Code:

<XBMCFlix path="plugin://plugin.video.xbmcflicks" recursive="true" prefix="[NF] " movie_set="XBMCFlix">

        <subfolder name="Instant Movies and Shows/Instant Queue: All"  type="movies" recursive="false">

            <exclude>

                <regexp>s[0-9]+e[0-9]+</regexp>

            </exclude>

        </subfolder>

        <subfolder name="Instant Movies and Shows/Instant Queue: All"  type="episodes">

            <filter>

                <regexp>s[0-9]+e[0-9]+</regexp>

            </filter>

        </subfolder>

    </XBMCFlix>

Note: You may want to change your XBMCFLicks addon settings to allow more than the default of 75 listings in your instant queue.

Thank you so much! It is just amazing!

RE: XBMC.MyLibrary - Scan any source to the library (Hulu/Netflix/Plugins) - jcato - 2012-04-18 03:32

Thanks for the great script! I've got a couple of questions about this log file: http://pastebin.com/shFsXqLQ

And here is the searchfilter:

Code:

        <PlayOn custom_parser="PlayOn" suffix=" (PlayOn)" >

            <subfolder name="Amazon VOD/Prime Instant Video/TV/Kids &amp; Family" type="episodes" suffix=" (PlayOn)" recursive="true" >

                <filter>

                    <contains>Go, Diego, Go</contains>

                </filter>

            </subfolder>

        </PlayOn>

1. Why is it taking 2 or 3 attempts to connect to XBMC?
2. In the library each episode gets the suffix, but the series doesn't
3. This search filter only works for the correctly named folder (Go, Diego, Go!) and not for the other folders (e.g., Go, Diego, Go! Volume 1). Is there a way to indicate the series for theTVDB? Or a better way to write the searchFilter?

Thanks!

1. Looks like playon is taking a long time to list directory contents, which is causing timeouts. Not sure why. Does playon take a while when browsing thru the GUI (after XBMC is restarted)?
2. Yes, this is intentional because there's no way to guarantee that all the episodes you have for a show are going to be from playon. For instance, i have mixed Hulu and DVR episodes for the same series.
3. You could set the name/path to: "PlayOn/Amazon VOD/Prime Instant Video/TV/Kids & Family/Go, Diego, Go!" and remove the filter all-together if all videos are under that folder.

Thankyou,.will now modify my addon appropriately.

PS are you interested in developing an automated version?? with GUI.

You're right. Playon does not stream in HD. They've been claiming for many months that HD support is right around the corner, but who knows.
The only reason someone may prefer Playon is because it plays in XBMC natively. No need for an external player or a browser window.

No, it's not HD, but still looks pretty good and offers a lot of content. And in this particular case, the Amazon plugin no longer works since Amazon added DRM Angry

. But, the way shows are in listed in PlayOn may prevent me from using it, too...

bradvido88 Wrote:3. You could set the name/path to: "PlayOn/Amazon VOD/Prime Instant Video/TV/Kids & Family/Go, Diego, Go!" and remove the filter all-together if all videos are under that folder.

Unfortunately, all videos aren't under 1 folder. In this case, under Kids & Family is:
Go, Diego, Go!
Go, Diego, Go! - Volume 6
Go, Diego, Go! Season 4
Go, Diego, Go! Volume 1
Go, Diego, Go! Volume 2
Go, Diego, Go! Volume 3

This is the case for most series. For example, Lost Season 1, Lost Season 1 [HD], Lost Season 2,.... This wouldn't be a problem if the Amazon plugin still worked (see above) since all episodes are grouped under the correct series folder. If I could specify thetvdbid instead of the script trying to figure it out from the folder, I think it would work.

In the GUI, it might take 5-10 seconds. Unless, I try to do "All Videos" under Amazon/TV, then XBMC times out after about a minute.

Thanks

Hi all,

Is anyone else having problems with .strm files from FreeCable? I'm using XBMC.MyLibrary in conjunction with PseudoTV, and nothing from FreeCable will play. When I try to play the files outside of FreeCable, they do play, but I get a playlist error. Any ideas?

Thanks!
