[RELEASE] Just another YouTube (Video) Plugin

hani · 2007-11-18 20:03

Hi
I have some free time this week end so I thought about learning Python.
So I started this video plugin.

This plugin is far from being finshed. I have only tested this plugin under linux
I'm not sure if its going to work in the original xbox (path issue).

I just want to share with you so I can learn more from you guys.
Please let me know what do you think about it.
This is a video plugin it uses Google Data API .I use the setting dialog to for (search, login)

Please let me know what do you think about Smile

here is some screenshots:

I like the plugin and it's very useful. However, IMHO the "Search" functionality should ask the user for a search term, this should not be done in the plugin settings dialog (Look at the stage6 plugin for a way to do this). Also the plugin has lots of errors if you don't touch the configuration dialog and just browse through it. The default values don't seem to work. The only thing that works then is the search functionality. The others give a lot of python errors in the scripts info screen. Please delete the plugin configuration settings file to reproduce these problems, so the plugin falls back to the default values stored in the plugin settings description file. Also on my xbox, the thumbnails are not displayed. I'm really looking forward to see this working. I'd like to put this into the plugin package once it's ready!

New update
fixed the problem with settings
fixed the issue with thumbnails( maybe!)
added the search dialog to the search item in the main menu(too slow to load)
Download is working (can not play the video until the download finish)

Please let me know what do you think about this version.

Good work! Works much better now! Something is still wrong with the "download" setting though, because on my box, it tried to download a video when it was set to not do that.

No, the thumbnails are still not working. I get a lot of complaints in the log about failed downloads of image files. You can set the thumb to the http image URL, then XBMC automagically downloads them!

I think admins give the right to you if you contributed enough.

any way to get this working on xbox??

Unbehagen · 2007-11-19 18:18

I got thumbnails to work with the following changes in videos.py:

Code:

def get_list( self,movieList ):

        try:

        ok = True

        thumbnailDownloadList = []

        path = os.path.join(os.getcwd()[:-1] , "user_data" )                

       #very ugly  

       #download thumbnail first     

        for movie in movieList:    

        thumb_url = self.get_largest_thumbnail(movie)

        #id = movie.id.text.split("/")[-1]    

        #imgFileName = self.getFileThumbPath('%s.jpg'%(id))

        #dl = downloadURL(thumb_url, imgFileName)

        thumbnailDownloadList.append(thumb_url)

        #dl.start()

        #populate the list first

        i=0 

        for movie in movieList:                

        #thumbnailDownloadList[i].join()

        i+=1        

        title = movie.title.text    

        id = movie.id.text.split("/")[-1]

        movie_url = movie.link[1].href

        imgFileName = thumbnailDownloadList[i]#self.getFileThumbPath('%s.jpg'%(id))

        ok = self.addLink(title,movie_url,imgFileName,movieList)    

        if ( not ok ): raise    

        except:

              print "Error"
