This plugin enables you to browse content from Blip.TV, Since there didn't seem to be any working plugin for this site we thought we would create one (being fans of RedLetterMedia, Nostalgia Critic etc.).

Since Blip.tv only supports login through Facebook we decided that we wouldn't try to automate yet another complicated login procedure like with the YouTube plugin, and have instead added the option for you to add shows to a locally stored list of Favorites.

The plugin is available in the official repo for Eden and there's a lot of good content on this site so check it out .

As always ideas for new features or improvements are welcome.

Stuck on Dharma for now, but really looking forward to this when Eden reaches release state. Thanks!

[TobiasTheCommie]

Yeah, we want Eden now.

BlipTV has started doing a redesign of their page, and their service is currently very unstable.

So expect some breakage to appear for now.

Yesterday we got 4 failures, today we got 5. Once the site stabilizes we will update.

Hello Tobias,
I'm not really able to play any shows I've tried - Nostalgia Critic, Cinemassacre, 12-Steps To Recovery.

Tested on XBMC RC2 on Windows 7 and OpenELEC.

Hi this is a known error, a fix is in our code repository, we'll push an update this weekend.

[spike411]

Haha, thanks, I just found the commit myself and was going to post "nevermind, found the commit, fixed it locally".

I'm going to translate the strings to Czech language but I'm unfamiliar with blip.tv actually - what's the difference between "popular" and "trending"?

I dont know if this is the right place to ask, but I have a question regarding this plugin.
I am currently writing a addon for a website which has links to blip.tv videos. So
is there a function or a class in this addin that would allow me to get a streamable url or just
play the video when i have the video url(like http://blip.tv/play/AYLx6TQC.html )

I had a look at the source code and BlipTVPlayer.py seemed to have some useful
functions.

Thank you

I'm trying to understand the videoid used by bliptv.

Here is something I played directly in the addon:

Code:

NOTICE: {'video_url': u'http://blip.tv/file/get/Davidmitchell-NotOne209.m4v | Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8', 'Title': 'Not One', 'videoid': '5619030', 'Genre': 'comedy', 'Studio': 'davidmitchell', 'user': 'davidmitchell', 'Date': '2011-10-06T11:11:10Z', 'thumbnail': u'http://a.images.blip.tv/Davidmitchell-NotOne914.jpg'}

But when I went to http://blip.tv/play/5619030.html?p=1, it is a completely different video.

Vice-versa, http://blip.tv/play/h9VAgvfEWQA.html?p=1 I passed the ID to blip.tv addon and I got

Code:

{'video_url': u'http://blip.tv/file/get/Anyoungsu-893.flv | Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8', 'Title': '\xec\xa4\x91\xec\x95\x99\xeb\x8d\xb0\xed\x8c\x8c\xed\x8a\xb8', 'Overlay': 7, 'videoid': 'h9VAgvfEWQA', 'Genre': '', 'Studio': 'anyoungsu', 'user': 'anyoungsu', 'Date': '2010-02-17T05:04:32Z', 'thumbnail': u'http://a.images.blip.tv/Anyoungsu-305-575.jpg'}

So that thing in the embed urls is not the same as videoid used by the addon. How can i get the proper id to pass to the addon?
