New Script: YouTube2
#1
As of recently the old YouTube 1.8b finally broke completly, I have no idea
why and the source code was a bit messy so I now bring you YouTube2.

I'm not the author of the other YouTube script and this script is written
from scratch. It's not fully implemented yet as I wanted to get something
out the door so that all you YouTube heads out there could get your daily fix.

I'll probably be posting a couple of updates in the near future until I feel
the script is feature complete.

Happy YouTubing everyone!

(it will probably pop up in the XBMCScripts installer in a near future)

have you heard of guibuilder.py. It allows you to skin your scripts like any XBMC window. May I suggest you use that. You can grab the latest from SVN. Apple Movie Trailers uses it.

There will be an update to guibuilder.py in a day or so. <focusedcolor> was added to python's controlbutton. I don't want to release it yet as you would need an XBMC build of today or later.

Nopes, new to me. But the url you provided needed login. Care to provide the public url instead?

I don't suppose any of you guys have managed to get xbmc_pc.exe to run in wine or cedega under Linux? Wink

It gets boring when debugging scripts directly on the xbox.

Playing a bit with guibuilder, but it seems I'm missing something.

I use this code snippet to start it all:

Code:
    def load_skin(self, name=None):
        if name == None:
            name = 'default'

        skin_path = os.path.join(os.getcwd()[:-1], 'skins', name)
        img_path = os.path.join(skin_path, 'gfx')
        skin = os.path.join(skin_path, 'skin.xml')

        print img_path, skin

        guibuilder.GUIBuilder(self, skin, img_path, useDescAsKey=True,
                              title='title', line1='line1', dlg=None,
                              pct=None, useLocal=False, debug=True)

        if not self.SUCCEEDED:
            print "b0rk b0rk b0rk!"
        else:
            print "yey!"

And my very minimalistic skin Wink

Code:
<window>
    <resolution>PAL16x9</resolution>
    <controls>
        <control type="image" id="1">
            <description>background image</description>
            <posx>0</posx>
            <posy>0</posy>
            <width>720</width>
            <height>576</height>
            <texture>background.png</texture>
        </control>
    </controls>
</window>

The printed skin paths and gfx paths are:

Code:
Q:\scripts\xbmc_test\skins\default\gfx
Q:\scripts\xbmc_test\skins\default\skin.xml

SUCCEEDED is set to False, and I only get a black picture, but no other error in the log. Have I missed something obvious? No exceptions are cast either.

Oh, and I've tried both with and without a backslash before the filename in the skin.xml

the problem was an outdated version of xbmc, 2.0.1 was too old, using t3ch-070209 now.

Yeah, sorry about the url, thanks B4tm4n.

It does require the newest builds as you found out. I try to keep up with additions in XBMC.

Glad you got it working. Hopefully skinners will create there own skins for it.

Updated to use guibuilder, you need to use a fairly new xbmc, I use 2007-02-09 so that one works at least.

It can also be grabbed from svn:

http://xbmc-scripting.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Youtube/

the name will be changed to just YouTube soon.

Thanks for this, I've had troubles with the original Youtube script crashing after playing 2 or 3 videos..

How about adding a option to save the videos to the HD like in the "old" script? Maybe with a progress-bar?

Yeah, that will happen sooner or later. But as I'm spoiled with a fast connection it's not on the top of my todo list. I'll probably push out a new version this week. That feature will probably happen the version after that one.
