I have no issues on XBOX or Windows Did you remember to unzip and then put the folder in plugins? The directory structure should look like below. With default.py visible

C:\Program Files\XBMC\plugins\video\iDesitv

I m new to this, so please pardon my ignorance, but just cant to get past this last hitch.

unzipped Idesitv.zip.
Resulting Idesitv folder is copied into
1)c/program files/xbmc/plugins/videos.
2)(even tried to do it to c/documentsandsettings/myuserid/applicationdata/xbmc/plugins/videos)

then in xbmc, click on videos,add source , videoplugin, but then cannot find idesitv listed.

with the second option above, do find it listed, but then nothing happens when i select it.

what am i doing wrong.
Is there anything else besides the zip folder to be done. this is my first time trying to use xbmc and idesitv.

BTW, default.py location is c/programfiles/xbmc/plugins/videos/idesitv/idesitv/default.py.
Is there an extra layer of folder. i tried putting just the subfolder, but that does not work either. (ie c/programfiles/xbmc/plugins/videos/idesitv/default.py.

I have it just like the #1 above, I don't think #2 would even work. Also the last path you mentioned is what works for me. I normally use Xbox, but on PC I noticed that it does not work if you add it as a source, but if you click on Video Plugins you see iDesitV along with the other plugins there as well and can run it from there.

after a lot of copy pastes, finally this worked
hope it helps someone
instead of standard program files, .....
i noticed all the plugins were in this folder, and thats where it finally worked

c/documentsandsettings/myuserid/applicationdata/xbmc/plugins/videos/idesitv/default.py

and not
c/documentsandsettings/myuserid/applicationdata/xbmc/plugins/videos/idesitv/idesitv/default.py
the extra folder in this path nullifies the plugin.

I am using XBMC on AppleTV. I followed the directions, downloaded the iDesiTV zip, unzipped it and copied the contents to /frontrow/Applications/XBMC.app/Contents/Resources/XBMC/plugins/video.

Then I went under Video and Add Source, browsed to the iDesiTV folder and added it as a source. However, when I select it in my Video list, it just navigates into the folder, doesn't show me a list of channels.

I cannot seem to add it as a source in the Video Plugin folder located in the Video list. And I don't see an option to add a "Video Plugin" in the Add Source dialog box.

Can someone guide me a little better. I have downloaded and installed the latest XBMC on the ATV.

Thanks.

try to find the folder where others are located , eg: nbc, cbs(whatever u have activated), and try to use the same folder. see my posts above , u may have to do some "try, try,try"

excellent plugin.

I have a question, when i try to play the channels on idesitv directly from browser, its plays fast but when I play it thru xbmc the buffering takes a while - any idea why this would be happenning ? I am running it in windows xbmc

once again - thanks for the wonderful plugin

pls let me know

Any idea EvilDude on buffering taking long in xbmc compared to internet browser ? Any setting to change in xbmc ?

The plugin for me only plays the short iDesiTV.com ad, and then doesn't play the actual channel.

This is on Linux, is no one else having this problem?
