[RELEASE] Audio and Video Podcast Plugin

Unbehagen Wrote:if you really desperately search for something to do, I have an idea: the Uitzendinggemist script has some kind of plugin architecture for the channels. It would awesome to see this as a plugin architecture! Then we would have one single structure for html parsing stuff.

I'm still brushing up my python knowledge, I may have a look at that but it probably won't be very soon I'm afraid.

Was going to grab dynamic opml direct from podnova too so I my add that to podcast plugin. Can then add podcasts to my opml without having to ftp across each time.

You can simply put an opml that links to the desired opml address. Have fun!

Ah now that would be easier. Thanks I'll test it tonight.

is anyone else having problems with rss feeds not updating? I keep on having to re-add rss .xml files to get the latest feeds.

Create an OPML file linking TO the RSS feed. Google for OPML.

Thanks again Unbehagen for yet another great piece of scripting!

Would it be possible to have a template OPML file into which we simply drop the RSS feed address? and add the name of the podcast? (I notice OPML is going to need us to write a short document with various sections so a cut and paste in the address style template might make things a little simpler?)

Also would it be possible to write a script which scrapes podcast directory websites to find the rss feeds themselves and creates an OPML file for the plugin?

Unbehagen Wrote:Hey,
here is the new version of my plugin:
http://rapidshare.com/files/55443817/Podcast2.zip
It now has the ability to parse OPML files with all your favourite podcasts in it. Just put the files in the feeds/ directory.
I already included some huge opml files for you to test this.
Have fun!

Where can people go for the latest version of podcast plugin for xbox? Are there any other plugins that also do podcasts?

Thank you for a great plugin!

In case anyone else was in the situation I was in earlier I have a top tip. Download Opera.

Visit the rss feed page.

When opera asks you if you want to add it to your feeds say 'yes'

Then goto File > Import and export -> and select 'Export Newsfeedlist'

These simply get drag and dropped into the 'feed' folder of Unb's 'Podcast2' plugin.

Easy when you know how.

Thanks Unb for an awesome app

I was wondering if it would be possible to have icons linked to the opml files? So for instance I have an OPML file with all the G4TV feeds in it and I would like to display the G4TV icon in my filelist. Would it be possible to add this to the plugin? Maybe by dropping jpg or tbn files in the feeds folder and naming it exactly like the opml files?
I hope that's clear
Great plugin

Unbehagen:

Thanks for the work! I couldn't find a /feeds directory anywhere on my Xbox. So I put it in my /E/Apps/XBMC/scripts directory. It shows up in my XBMC gui. When I select it, it says (running), b it there's no further interaction.

May I ask if there is a manual for this, or if I am using this incorrectly.

Thanks,
