I'm new to xbmc addon development, so far I'm
just copy/pasting other addons.
can't get the following code to do anything.
can anyone give me some hints?

the links show up but nothing happends when i click them.
they are .mp3 extended and work fine if i put them in an .strm file

Code:
import urllib2,urllib,re
import xbmc,xbmcgui,xbmcplugin,xbmcaddon

def addLink(name,mode,url,iconimage):
    u=sys.argv[0]+"?url="+urllib.quote_plus(url)+"&mode="+str(mode)+"&name="+urllib.quote_plus(name)
    ok=True
    liz=xbmcgui.ListItem(name, iconImage="DefaultFolder.png", thumbnailImage=iconimage)
    liz.setInfo( type="Audio", infoLabels={ "Title": name } )
    ok=xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem(handle=int(sys.argv[1]),url=u,listitem=liz,isFolder=False)
    return ok

base_url = 'myurl.url'
list_url=base_url+'/cgi-bin/list'

req = urllib2.Request(list_url)
req.add_header('User-Agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3')
response = urllib2.urlopen(req)
link=response.read()
response.close()
match=re.compile('<a href="(stream[^"]+)">.+&nbsp;([^<]+)<br>').findall(link)

for item in match:
    addLink(item[1],1,base_url+"/cgi-bin/"+item[0],'')

xbmcplugin.endOfDirectory(int(sys.argv[1]))

i got the links to work now. the updated addLink function is now:

Code:
def addLink(name,url,iconimage):
    #u=sys.argv[0]+"?url="+urllib.quote_plus(url)+"&mode="+str(mode)+"&name="+urllib.quote_plus(name)
    ok=True
    liz=xbmcgui.ListItem(name, iconImage="DefaultFolder.png", thumbnailImage=iconimage)
    liz.setInfo( type="Audio", infoLabels={ "Title": name } )
    ok=xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem(handle=int(sys.argv[1]),url=url,listitem=liz,isFolder=False)
    return ok

what happens now is that xbmc hangs at "Loading directory" (100%) "Retrieved x items"
this behaviour happens only when i DON'T use
Code:
u=sys.argv[0]+"?url="+urllib.quote_plus(url)+"&mode="+str(mode)+"&name="+urllib.quote_plus(name)
but insert the url directly. i cant figure out whats going on here.. can someone?

ok.. some more progress. it wont work unless i use
the "u=sys.argv[0]+"?url="+urllib......" line.
it generates links like this one:

plugin://plugin.audio.apa/?url=http://%3A%2F%2Fmyurl.com....

when i click these links i can erad in the log:
11:57:15 T:2980821872 ERROR: AddItem - called with an invalid handle.
11:57:15 T:2980821872 ERROR: EndOfDirectory - called with an invalid handle.

how are these links supposed to be formatted to work?

I'll rather not paste the url. it's links to albums on my private server and i dont want
that indexed by google Smile
i believe the links are fine though. they are in the format:

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/cgi-bin/stream/album_name.mp3

i also get in the logs:

12:36:23 T:2909252464 ERROR: EndOfDirectory - called with an invalid handle.

which makes me suspect that something is wrong in the way the addon is called.
sys.argv[0] containts:
plugin://plugin.audio.apa/
and sys.argv[1]:
0

is this correct?
I'm talking to myself here ... Smile

Ok this is a little hard to explain. The problem is in the PREVIOUS call to addlink(). In the call before this one, the isFolder parameter was set to False (since it's static in your function), so xbmc didn't pass in a valid handle assuming that you wouldn't need one. Once you call with isFolder=False, you can't add any more "sub-levels" to the directory system. If you use isFolder=False, all the items in that list need to be directly playable

thanks for your reply. it made me think in a new direction: here is my currect code. it got rid of the errors in the log file
but still wont play

Code:
import urllib2,urllib,re
import xbmc,xbmcgui,xbmcplugin,xbmcaddon

items = []

def addLink(name,mode,url,iconimage):
    u=sys.argv[0]+"?url="+urllib.quote_plus(url)+"&mode="+str(mode)+"&name="+urllib.quote_plus(name)
    ok=True
    liz=xbmcgui.ListItem(name+"("+u+")", iconImage="DefaultFolder.png", thumbnailImage=iconimage)
    liz.setInfo( type="Audio", infoLabels={ "Title": name } )
#    ok=xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem(handle=int(sys.argv[1]),url=u,listitem=liz,isFolder=False)
    t=u,liz,False
    items.append(t)
    return ok

base_url = 'http://www.Xxxxxx.se'
list_url=base_url+'/cgi-bin/list'

req = urllib2.Request(list_url)
req.add_header('User-Agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3')
response = urllib2.urlopen(req)
link=response.read()
response.close()
match=re.compile('<a href="(stream[^"]+)">.+&nbsp;([^<]+)<br>').findall(link)

cnt = 0
for item in match:
    addLink(item[1],1,base_url+"/cgi-bin/"+item[0],'')
    cnt=cnt+1

xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItems(handle=int(sys.argv[1]), items=items, totalItems=cnt)
xbmcplugin.endOfDirectory(int(sys.argv[1]))

Hey laxtrappa, maybe move your post to where we talked about in the python section. Because of US laws XBMC.org has changed their policy to be rather strict on plugins and links. Sad

@laxtrappa, Have you tried manually adding a single item to make sure you can stream from your server? Hit me up here or at xbmchub and let me know what happens when you try to play it
