[RELEASE] Demand 5 (Video) Addon - UK Channel 5 on demand

nibor · 2012-01-11 02:11

The best way to install this new addon and ensure you receive updates as well as quick access to my other addons, is to install my repository from:
http://nibor-xbmc-repo.googlecode.co...tory.nibor.zip

Alternatively you can just get version 1.0.0 (latest at time of writing) from:
http://code.google.com/p/nibor-xbmc-repo/downloads/list

Awesome addon. Nearly all UK FTA covered now.

Working great on openelec beta 1 nightly but not working on win 7 beta 1. Getting a script error on playback. Although it's fair to say we've never managed to get 4od running on this box either.

Thanks a lot for this top shelf addon.

Thanks for the add-on but getting script errors also.

The 4od plugin works but this Channel5 one does not so hopefully you can fix it?

Working fine now.Thank you great plugin

me too. However if a stream fails it won't start a new one. needs an xbmc restart.

excellent work Nibor

Awesome work on this and the 4OD plugin!!

Also impressed with the download functionality (I've actually used your code to add the same functionality to my copies of the the iPlayer and ITV PLayer plugins).

Just a couple of issues, the filenames need to be validated as sometimes they contain invalid characters, in particular the colon character, this can be done just before you initialised the savepath, ie:

Code:

filename = re.sub('[:\\/*?\<>|"]+', '', filename)

savePath = os.path.join( "T:"+os.sep, downloadFolder, filename )

Also, both "Fifi and The Flower Tots" & "Mr Men" in the Milkshake! category bring up empty lists, I've checked on my iPad app and they should definately be populated so I guess a small bug in the scraping somewhere.

Still, awesome work!!

Edit
Missing programs
Had a quick look into this and the code currently only parses the current series;

ie
http://www.channel5.com/shows/fifi-and-t...s/episodes

Will show only Series 3, however if you scrape this page you will also find the other 2 series, ie

http://www.channel5.com//shows/fifi-and-...ason=12302
http://www.channel5.com//shows/fifi-and-...ason=09234

Both of which have shows available for viewing

Couldn't take my 6 year daughter nagging me anymore so I've fixed the missing programs issue.

If you replace the current ShowEpisodes function with the following 2 functions it should then work, it basically scrapes for all series and then uses the existing functionality to scrape for individual episodes.

If the series scrape finds nothing then it does exactly what it used to do.

Code:

def ShowEpisodes( showId, showTitle ):

    # Get the page with episodes for this show

    print "Looking for episodes for: " + showTitle

    url = "http://www.channel5.com" + showId + "/episodes"

        html    = geturllib.GetURL( url, 20000 ) # ~6 hrs  

    epsInfo = re.findall( 'episodes\?season=(.*?)">(.*?)</a>', html, re.DOTALL )

    for season, series in epsInfo:                      

            ParseEpisodes(url+"?season="+season, showTitle, series)

        if len(epsInfo) == 0:

            ParseEpisodes(url, showTitle)

        xbmcplugin.endOfDirectory( handle=gPluginHandle, succeeded=True )

def ParseEpisodes(url, showTitle, series = ""):          

        print "URL: " + url

        html = geturllib.GetURL( url, 20000 ) # ~6 hrs  

    listItems = []

    # Does this show have multiple episodes?

    x = re.search( '<ul class="resource_list episodes">(.*?)<!-- /#contents -->', html, re.DOTALL)

    if ( x != None ):

        # Extract the section with the episode list

        html = x.groups()[0]

        # Parse out the episodes

        epsInfo = re.findall( '<li class="clearfix">.*?<a href="(.*?)".*?<img .*?src="(.*?)".*?<h3><a.*?>(.*?)</a>.*?<p class="description">(.*?)</p>(.*?)</div>', html, re.DOTALL )

        for epInfo in epsInfo:

            href = epInfo[0]

            thumbnail = epInfo[1] 

            title = epInfo[2]

            description = epInfo[3]

            x = epInfo[4]

            title = title.replace( '&amp;', '&' )

            title = title.replace( "&quot;", '"' )

            title = title.replace( "&pound;", '£' )

            fn = showTitle + " - " + title

            if ( re.search( 'vod_availability', x, re.DOTALL) ): 

                                fullTitle = title

                                if series != "":

                                    fullTitle = series + ": " + fullTitle                                 

                newListItem = xbmcgui.ListItem(fullTitle)

                newListItem.setThumbnailImage(thumbnail)

                newListItem.setInfo('video', {'Title': title, 'Plot': description, 'PlotOutline': description})

                url = gBaseURL + '?ep=' + mycgi.URLEscape(href) + "&title=" + mycgi.URLEscape(title) + "&fn=" + mycgi.URLEscape(fn)

                listItems.append( (url,newListItem,False) )

    else:

        title = re.search( '<h3 class="episode_header"><span class="sifr_grey_light">(.*?)</span></h3>', html, re.DOTALL ).groups()[0]

        description = re.search( 'property="og:description" content="(.*?)"', html, re.DOTALL ).groups()[0]

        thumbnail = re.search( 'property="og:image" content="(.*?)"', html, re.DOTALL ).groups()[0]

        href = re.search( 'property="og:url" content="(.*?)"', html, re.DOTALL ).groups()[0]

        href = re.search( '(/shows.*)', href ).groups()[0]

        thumbnail = thumbnail.replace( 'facebook_with_play', 'large_size' )

        if ( title <> showTitle ):

            fn = showTitle + " - " + title

        else:

            fn = showTitle

        url = gBaseURL + '?ep=' + mycgi.URLEscape(href) + "&title=" + mycgi.URLEscape(title) + "&fn=" + mycgi.URLEscape(fn)

        newListItem = xbmcgui.ListItem(title)

        newListItem.setThumbnailImage(thumbnail)

        newListItem.setInfo('video', {'Title': title, 'Plot': description, 'PlotOutline': description})

        listItems.append( (url,newListItem,False) )

    xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItems( handle=gPluginHandle, items=listItems )

    #xbmcplugin.endOfDirectory( handle=gPluginHandle, succeeded=True )

after i first installed it played a episode of dangerous driver school with no problems. them when i tried anything else i got script errors. then went back to dangerous driver shcool and it would no longer play. maybe there is a bug in the script. any chance you could look at making a plugin for sky go.
