Are you sure that you setup Dbmc to stream the video in the settings menu? I have tested it (version 0.7.0) on Ubuntu 13.10 and Raspbmc and it they are both streaming video just fine. I tested .avi and .mp4 files. At first I had streaming disabled and at that point the video wouldn't show because it was still caching(downloading) the video... So that is why I ask: are you sure it is streaming?

The synchronization works just the first time after the boot.

Version 0.7.0 on openelec 3.2.4
Hi, you mentioned it before. I hope it would be solved in the new version, but it looks like that is not the case...Undecided
Can provide me with the xbmc log? Preferably with debug logging enabled. And please tell me what interval you use for syncing.
Maybe you can try to change the "Dropbox folder to synchronize with" to another folder and back again. This would result in a reset of the stored sync data. Maybe stored sync data got corrupted in between the different releases...

Is there a way to change the length of time each slide displays? Also can i turn off the 'motion' effect when the slide displays? Thanks for any help
Hi, sorry but this is not the thread to get answers to those questions. This thread is about the Dbmc (Dropbox addon)...
Please try a different thread. Thanks.

Sure. I already ask you if i can help to debug this issue.

Anyway i'd like to use the synchronization to automatically put torrents file in the watch folder of transmission.

I try also to configure transmission to not delete them.

I'm looking to the log file i can't never see nothing related to dbmc but when i change the synchronization folder. Please note that it asked me justvthe first time to stop the synchronization before changing the settings.

Tomorrow I'll try to provide a real log file.

Ok, I "catch" the problem.

Usually, the synchronization worls correctly... but, if I (or Transmission, in my case) delete a file from the local folder then something nasty happen.

And then no more log message from dbmc. So I think the dbmc thread is dead.

I will look to the source code... I will try also again to disable to "auto delete" function of transmission.

Thanks for the detailed logging and information!
Indeed the thread that takes care of synchronizing is dead after the exception, so it won't sync anymore. The exception occurs when dbmc tries to update the timestamp of the file, but it just got removed (by transmission), and thus OSError.
I'll make a change in Dbmc to not crash when a exception occurs. So it keeps trying to sync. But that will not solve this exception! I think this can be solved if dbmc keeps a lock on the file until it is really done with that file. However I have to look into that to find a platform independent file lock mechanism.
If I think the problem is solved, I would kindly ask you to test it. Wink

Setting Transmission to not delete files doesn't solve the problem since it rename them.

A lock on the file probably doesn't solve the problem unless it is a low level lock (filesystem or os).

Probably the best is to catch the exception since a race condition may always happen.

Yes, I wanted to have a lock on filesystem level. But I didn't find a good solution for that...
Now I have made changes to catch the exception, and when it fails 2 times on a file/folder, it will ignore the file/folder for the rest of the synchronizations.
Please check it out: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xbmc-dro...p/download
This version (0.7.1beta) isn't automatically updated, so please download it and install it. If it is ok, I will upload it to the xbmc repos.

Hi. I'm testing the new beta.

It seems to work better: the files are downloaded and it doesn't stop to work even if transmission rename or delete them.

The strange think (but this happens also after a previous upgrade) after the first reboot the verification code was not more valid. Then i delete it, i redo e the authorization and then it start to work.

In the next days I will out of home and then I can made deeper tests

I'm on raspbmc - I get to step 8 but the last popup doesn't come up to let me close the webviewer. I see on dropbox.com that I'm signed in but it does say there's an error. I've tried going back to close to the web viewer, and I've tried rebooting right after I have allowed access without closing the webviewer but every time I open dbmc it asks me to log in to allow access....any ideas?
I just checked the login procedure and I see that step 8 indeed doesn't work like described. I will check what is going on...
However, my login was successful even though I didn't get the popup! When the last web-page was shown (just after pressing the allow button), I pressed the esc-key and the access code was still saved. I could browse my dropbox account after that.

On the last web-page, if you scroll down you should see something like "Enter this code into Dbmc (XBMC Plugin) to finish the process...". if you press the esc-key the code is still saved.

This is now solved in version 0.6.5!

I'm sorry, but it still doesn't work. When you log in, that dialog box doesn't show up. There is no field for "Enter this code into".

The closest I can get is if I hit back and refresh after I log in, you can see the form exists, but it shows as "empty" and you can't choose one of the fields.

The screen reads:

Dbmc (XBMC Plugin) would like access to the files and folders in your Dropbox.

-----------------------
-Form: None -
CancelAllow
--------------------

The fields are not selectable with either the mouse or with the keyboard. I can't take a screen shot since I'm using my laptop to post and a Raspberry Pi for the XBMC; posting here with a Pi would be an exercise in pain that I'm not willing to work with tonight.

You don't need to start the WebViewer yourself. The Dropbox addon starts it for you!
The webviewer indeed doesn't show the email field, that is why it is ask, before the webviewer is started.

The steps are:
1. Open the Dropbox addon (in the Pictures/Music/Videos menu)
2. A popup will appear, saying that a Dropbox Authorization is required. Press 'OK'
3. A keyboard popup will appear, requesting your dropbox username. Type in your dropbox username (email)
4. Now the WebViewer is started and the Dropbox website is automatically loaded. The password field is highlighted and you should press <enter> (or select key).
5. The keyboard popup is shown again. Now enter your Dropbox password. Select 'OK' when done.
6. Use the down arrow to select the "Sign in" button and press <enter> again.
7. A new page will be loaded and the "Cancel" and "Allow" buttons will be visible. Select the "Allow" button and press <enter>.
8. A popup is shown. The authorization is finished and the WebViewer can be closed (select "yes").

The access code is automatically stored in your addon settings and now you should be able to use the addon.

In which step does it fail?

In my case it fails at step 7. New page with "Cancel" and "Allow" would not show up. Web view shows that I successfully loged in. Thus I can not allow authorization code.

I've tested it with openelec on Raspberry Pi, Ubuntu 13.10 and Windows PCs. The version of the plugin: 0.7.0 and 0.7.1.

A week ago I could use it with Raspberry Pi, and then I've cleaned authorization code.

Thanks for reporting this problem!
I see that Dropbox has changed their web-site (again). That is way it fails. I tried to solve it but now I'm also facing problems with WebViewer (script.module.mechanize to be precise). Undecided
Because the current authorization procedure is depended on the Dropbox web-site and WebViewer, it is not very robust... I'm going to change the procedure to make it more robust. The new procedure will force you to use a external browser.
When the new procedure works, I'll update you.
But for now... sorry the authorization just doesn't work. Confused

Mine fails after asking for the password. It loads a broken site and when ever I enter my password, it gets hung up on submitting and never loads.

The fix for the Authorization procedure is almost done. I think this weekend a new (beta) version will be available. Keep you posted...
Reply

Just made a beta version (0.7.2beta) available with the new Authorization procedure.
You can download it here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xbmc-dropbox/

It uses the http://xbmc-dropbox.sourceforge.net web-site for retrieving the Dropbox Access Code, which will be used by the addon to get the access token. The access token is needed by the addon to access your dropbox account.
Let me know if you have problems (or remarks). Thanks.
