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!
I don't use FreeCable or PseudoTV personally so sorry I can't help you there.

Are you having problems with the plugin in general, most of the sites
in FreeCable don't work for me. If they play using the plugin then it
might have something to do with how your using this script or
the script.
Code:

Raw also works better for me too. though there still seems to be 2-3 attempt
before it connects usually 3.

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.
I didn't get a response on this, so should I assume there's not a high level of interest in adding a tvdbid attribute? That's cool. It looks like no one else needs this, so my question is, how are other people adding Amazon episodes into the library? Or, are other people adding Amazon episodes? The Amazon plugin was awesome until Amazon added DRM, so that doesn't seem to be an option any more. Does Netflix or Hulu+ work better with MyLibrary? I don't really want to add those since I'm already paying for Amazon, but maybe I have to?
Thanks

Hulu and Netflix work pretty good with this (Netflix through PlayOn, haven't tried with XBMCFlix as I want the streams to play on an AppleTV too).
I too would love to have some more options added, but don't have to the time to learn java and make modifications at the moment. There are instances in which I would like to be able to specify a TVDB id for a folder. Also, there are some shows that just won't get picked up properly due to weird directory structure coming from Netflix and it wants to name the show Volume 2 etc. Another odd problem I would like to resolve is a "max depth" style recursion due to a plugin that wants to constantly wants to redirect you to other folders within it with names that can't be excluded or it won't save the shows.
Maybe I'll find some time over the summer but I'm sure that's a pipe dream.

Hi,
I've been trying to get this to work for a week but it's just not going well.
I'm trying to get Netflix (XBMCFlix and/or Playon) to scan into the library of my 11.0 Eden XBMC installation. I'm using a 64bit Windows7 installation on a PC with Playon and XBMC installed on the same unit.
I used the example search filters that you provided in the user's guide as well as the one for XBMCFlix that you posted in the forums.
Playon:
Quote:<Netflix prefix="[Netflix] " custom_parser="PlayOn" recursive="true">
<!-- Get all TV and Movies from your instant queue. Movies will be put in a movie set.
TV Episodes will have a prefix added to their title -->
<subfolder name="Instant Queue/Alphabetical" movie_set=" Netflix Instant Queue" />
<!-- Get new movies from Netflix and add them to a movie set -->
<subfolder name="New Arrivals/New movies to watch instantly" type="movies" movie_set=" Netflix New Movies" />
<!--Get up to 50 episodes from the Sitcoms genre-->
<subfolder name="Browse Genres/TV Shows/TV Mysteries/Bones" type="episodes" max_videos="50" />
<!--Get up to 50 episodes of new TV Episodes -->
<subfolder name="New Arrivals/New TV to watch instantly" type="episodes" max_videos="50"/>
</Netflix>
XBMCFlix:
Quote:<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>
<!--Get up to 50 episodes from the Sitcoms genre-->
<subfolder name="Browse By Genre/TV Comedies/Futurama: Bender's Game" type="episodes" max_videos="50" />
</XBMCFlix>
I've edited config.xml to make sure the information was accurate. The one weird thing I noticed is that I have two different database files. One 34 and one 60. I used the newer of the two if that makes a difference. Beyond that, everything is set up according to the user's guide.
Here is my log:

Thank you very much! I really hope I can get this working. This would be a very nice way of expanding my library without having to buy another 2 or 3 terabytes.
EDIT:
I sort of got it working. I'm able to retrieve the shows based on their genre, however, I'm having an issue since Netflix only retrieves 500 shows per genre. Keep on trudging.

Any idea what you changed to get this to work? I have some perfectly working Netflix filters with PlayOn and could help you out if you still have issues.

I'm trying to get shows from the PBS plugin to work. I can get XBMC.MyLibrary to find the video links, but they're being parsed wrong so the series, title, season, and episode variables are wrong. This bombs out the TVDB lookup and the .strm file can't be created.
Code:
05/05/2012 01:27:14 PM INFO Archiving TV Episode will fail to be archived because manual archiving is disabled and the meta-data cannot be parsed or found on the TheTVDB.com: PBS/Programs/Carrier/Episode 1: All Hands
05/05/2012 01:27:14 PM WARNING Archiving Cannot be archived: series=Episode 1, title=All Hands, season=-1, episode=-1
PBS/Programs/Carrier/Episode 1: All HandsI'm using this for my filter to pull the show "Carrier":
Code:
<PBS path="plugin://plugin.video.pbs">
<subfolder name="Programs/Carrier" type="episodes" />
</PBS>Is there a way I can tweak a regex filter to parse this correctly without going to the source code and compiling my own?

I have no idea what caused it to start working but it started scraping all of a sudden. I have a feeling it might have to do with me having a Canadian account. If I run the .cmd while connected to Hotspot Shield then it scrapes the streams perfectly. Playon doesn't list any videos for my netflix account. I've tried connecting with my phone and various other devices but it doesn't seem to find any videos. It's a shame as integrated netflix would mean that Pseudo TV would work nicely but I guess it can't all be perfect ;-). I'll keep poking around.
Thanks for your offer of help though!

a workaround for the TVDBID / incorrect lookups is to browse to the tv show folder in XBMC, then context menu-->information. Then pick the correct show (you may have to type in the name). Once you do this, XBMC will always remember the correct show for the folder.
FYI: I have this working perfectly with both my Netflix and Hulu queues/subscriptions, I don't use it for many other sources so may need to crowdsource how to get others working.
It mostly depends on the naming conventions used by other plugins.
