You're welcome, thanks mate.

I've just uploaded version 0.4 which adds the ability to "flow" songs for logged in users.

cheers

Wow, great Add-on. Very glad I looked at this thread. Had been ignoring it since based on the title, thought it was UK only.

EDIT: Also thrilled to find out that it works with XBMC Commander on the iPad - showing the correct song playing with album art. Now I don't have to keep my TV on to see what's playing.

Hey,

Is there any chance this can be added to the unofficial repo installer? Looking forward to trying it out, the Feedback seems great

Hi,

Firstly great to see a plugin for mflow. I have just put 0.4 onto my ATV2 that is not long JBd. I am getting an error:

Visualization: OpenGL Spectrum

Add-on could not be loaded.
An unknown error has occurred.

This happens after it has loaded the selections and I select a song to play.

Is this something that I am doing wrong or installing incorrectly? I have transferred it across to the ATV and selected to install a ZIP.

Also I can't find a way of editing the settings so that I can enter my username and password. I am probably being dumb and the settings are really obvious but I just can't seem to find them.

Cheers,

8bit

Hi 8bit,

Thanks for your interest in the plugin!

The username & password settings are configurable via the addon settings menu, which can be accessed from the context menu with the mflow plugin selected, or via the system/addons/ section for the mflow plugin, if you go to "configure".

As far as the error goes, it doesn't sound like you've done anything wrong, but I'm afraid I can't tell you much more without a debug log

procrastinator has reported having the addon working on ATV earlier in the thread, so I don't think it can be a general issue with that platform. If he sees this, hopefully he might be able to chip in any suggestions...

Last time I checked it was still working for me on ATV2. I am might be using a different build of XBMC than 8bit though (my version is the last official release: 10.0-7 on iOS 4.2.1). None-the-less this bit is curious:

Quote:Visualization: OpenGL Spectrum

Music visualisations should be disabled on XBMC for iOS because iOS uses OpenGL ES rather than OpenGL. Maybe the error is to do with this??

P.S. more iOS specific info on getting your debug log available here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=92480

Proteusplum and procrastinator,

Guys thanks for your help. As you can probably tell I am a noob to XBMC. I have now found the settings for the plugin and learnt something new about XBMC at the same time.

It also looks like the visualisation error message was not connected to the plugin but due to the issue procrastinator mentioned. I have turned that off now and all is well.

I now look forward to having a good delve around the forums.

This addon is now available via mortstar's repo. Many thanks to him for hosting and setting this up. Revised install instructions are at the top of the thread.

cheers
