[RELEASE] - Rating Update

MCipher · 2012-01-13 21:43

Hi there,

just wanted to mention, that I got the script (1.1.8) working on Dharma 10.1.

I had to edit two files with two changes each:

- Replaced import of "json" by "simplejson" as I had no json module available (it is not included in python 2.4 that is used by Dharma). simplejson was already in my addons folder (scripts.module.simplejson).

Code:

import simplejson as json

- In every os.popen command, the php filepath was put into doublequotes, I removed the doublequotes. For example:

Code:

# Returns empty file -> no results (wrong):

get_open = os.popen( binary_path + ' -q "' + __resource__ + '/top250.php"', "r" )

# Returns content that was requested (right):

get_open = os.popen( binary_path + ' -q ' + __resource__ + '/top250.php', "r" )

Unfortunately this change will not work for anyone having whitespaces in their path (__resource__).
Cannot understand, why python has a problem with the doublequotes - if I execute the request including the doublequotes, I get a result. But os.popen returns an empty file in that case.
"binary_path" is double-quoted as well but that seems to be ok.

Further, I had to add the xbmcvfs module as my Dharma did not contain it. You can get it here:
http://code.google.com/p/passion-xbmc/ (install the repository plugin and download scripts.module.xbmcvfs from your addon screen)

I checked these changes by downloading Top250 as well as updating my whole database (~500 movies). Worked well, I have my ratings updated now Smile

Try at your own risk - and don't forget a backup of your files.

Maybe these changes will help you getting the plugin compatible with Dharma as I might be not the only one using it Wink

Thanks so much for your work so far!

Enable in xbmc: Settings -> System -> Debugging -> Enable debug logging restart the script (few movies is enough) and repost debug log.

I've tried with latest nightly build and the script work perfectly!

similar issue: there was a problem with the imdb site!

reply from imdb seems ok from the debug log, but no update to db and xbmc gui completely freezes after few seconds/minutes

php5-cgi 5.3.9 (tried some other versions with the same result), python 2.7.2+

It's an issue in xbmc related python in Windows platform.

Read the post above of MCipher.

Quote:- In every os.popen command, the php filepath was put into doublequotes, I removed the doublequotes. For example: etc etc.

The problem are the doublequote like in Dharma.

If the problem isn't resolved with the final stable version of XBMC I will take measures to solve it!

Sad

I'm sorry but I haven't a Mac to guide you step by step for the installation of php-cgi. Sad

Search on google how to install it in Mac then in the settings addon you can browse the folder to set the right path!
