I did some random testing of about 20 programmes and the only ones to fail with the script error were Homeland and The Killing.

Some programmes which failed on my previous tests worked ok although in some cases you had to have two goes before they would play.

I'm running the latest version of XBMC on a laptop with Linux Mint.

I must have done something very wrong - but what?

This Alnicol version just produces a script error as soon as the plugin starts.

Booted my laptop in Windows 7 and installed the Alnicol plugin.

Guess what? Script error as soon as the plugin starts.

Have to do some more experiments tomorrow.

OK, looks like I got it working again on my ATV2... As others have said Homeland doesn't work but was able to watch over 1 minute of 2 Broke Girls - advise you not to bother - it's rubbish. Not tried anything else, will have a go tomorrow to see whether i can get to the end of a programme.

Anyway, this is what i did...

I downloaded the plugin posted here and installed it - still getting script errors and nothing worked:

Looking at the log it mentioned something about T: and permission denied, found the post below made the change and script error gone and works (so far):

Quote:I fixed the issue by modifying the 'default.py' file.
I changed this line:
geturllib.SetCacheDir( xbmc.translatePath(os.path.join( "T:"+os.sep,"addon_data", gPluginName,'cache' )) )

to

geturllib.SetCacheDir( xbmc.translatePath(os.path.join("special://home","addon_data", gPluginName,'cache' )) )

I downloaded the wrong zip in Windows.

The alnicol version is here - https://github.com/alnicol/xbmc-4od

Thanks! Working again with that version!

Tried alnicol and paddycarey versions aswell as editing the default.py file and after a minute or so the stream crashes for me.

Same for me. Works for about 1 or 2 minutes then stops.

Using Openelec (Eden) 1.95.3

I was having the 'stop after 1-2 min' problem (see post #184), but it's now semi-working for me using the Alnicol version. To be honest, it still doesn't work consistently - normally about 2 out 3 playback attempts end after 1-2min, but it's better than none of them working.

I did a clean install for the Alnicol version, rather than just installing over the top of a previously installed 4oD plugin. The other 4oD plugins which I had before would not uninstall via the addons section's uninstall option. I had to go into the addons and addon data folders and delete the relevant folders manually. I'm not sure if this would actually makes any difference, but might be worth considering if you're still not getting playback after installing the Alnicol version.

Thanks, I will give it a go and see if it helps

Hi, Ive been having the same problems with the playback stopping after 1 minute or so, and ive tried both paddycarey's and alnicol's fix, neither work. Any help please, its driving me insane?
