Can someone help a XBMC noob? I have installed the XOT repository and installed XOT video addon. Now I see that this TV4 update is available..

First of all I cannot understand at all how to use update channels, if even possible through the addon. My screen looks nothing like the screenshots posted on the XOT site. And I do not understand what menu I should find update option under.
Please help...

I also tried by downloading the zip file instead. I put it in my home directory on the xbmc machine and then try to install add on from zip but that fails instantly. What am I doing wrong?

Start the script in programs.

Thanks, that worked.. Did not even know that I could access the XOT addon through programs before. Looks a lot better when used this way. And the update thingie worked like a charm.

I'am running XBMC on a ATV2. I've installed the XOT-UZG plugin. The problem is that I only see dutch channels (+ freecaster and quicksilver). Even though I have toggled "swedish channels" in settings they don't show up.
Does anyone have an idea why?

I am having the same problems on my ATV gen I.
Pls post here if you find a solution.

It has to do with the character encodings. It will be fixed in the next version of XOT.

Keep in mind that ATV2 support is very beta at this moment. So more features will not work (rtmp playback).

Basje Wrote:Well, I am not going to change it in the script because on Linux/Windows the high bitrates is much nicer and on Xbox you can use the contextmenu to select the lowbitrate stream. But it's very easy change yourself:

Just open the chn_svt.py and go to line number 277. That line reads:

Code:

def PlayVideoItem(self, item, lowBitrate=False, player="defaultplayer"):

change it to

Code:

def PlayVideoItem(self, item, lowBitrate=True, player="defaultplayer"):

(just replace the False with True)

Then it will play the low bitrate stream by default.

Hello, I can't get this to work.
Running XOT 3.2.3 as a script in XBMC on XBox.
I have replaced "False" with "True" in line 276 in the chn_svt.py script, so it now reads:
def PlayVideoItem(self, item, lowBitrate=True, player="defaultplayer"):

But the script still fetches the 1280x720 resolution video.

Also when selecting a video and going into context menu (i assume it's the white button), I don't have the option to play lowBitrate. Only options are: Add-on settings, DownloadItem, Play using MPlayer and Play using DVDPlayer.

Any idea what might be causing this?

Well, it does not work anymore in version 3.2.3! Read the readme.txt or the changelog because I improved it (due to popular demand)!

You can now specify the bitrate using the Add-On Settings of XOT-Uzg.v3. Just go into the context menu (in the script itself or while selecting it from the list of scripts in XBMC) and select Add-On settings. You get a bunch of settings and you can set the playback quality to Low or Medium there. XOT will then select that quality for playback (that is why the menu options playback low and high were removed).

Keep in mind that not all channels support this feature yet, but SVT does.

PS: undo your changes to the .py file, because it might break other stuff.

Works Great!
Thanks for this awsome script!

Got it, thanks.
I tried going into contextmenu for the channel itself inside XOT, which wouldn't allow any settings to be made.
But in the contextmenu for the script itself, there was a "Script Settings" choice, which allowed me to set the bitrate.
Thanks for the help.
