Plugin for the Onion News Network http://tv.theonion.com . Funny fake news.
25 most recent clips are available in high quality mp4.
Each section has a "view random" if you just want to play with whatever.

As always, any improvements/suggests/complaints are welcome!

If anyone wants the audio podcasts from that site (http://www.theonion.com/content/radionews) let me know and I'll make it.

er... forgot to actually upload it. I went ahead and all the video content from the site. Enjoy

Fixed a bug where videos would automatically reload when video ended.

Hi, thanks for this, works perfect for me. This is a nice plugin to have.

I also love your LastTube plugin, it is a lot of fun to be able to show random music videos based on my own music library... like having a personal MTV. I know this is not the right thread, but is it possible to have it display the name of the song/file that is playing? Sometimes I don't recognize the artist or the song and it would be nice to know.

By the way there are a lot more than 25 videos available in the Onion plugin, its showing 130+.

[rwparris2]

showing 130+.

Yeah my second post says I added them all. I wish I could just edit the first one, but oh well.

In regards to LastTube, the Artist & Song are tagged, so you can just hit info on your remote. If you want something more than that, request it in the LastTube thread.

Thanks for the feedback!

Fixed some bugs.
-layout change on the site caused commercials to play instead of main file.
-fixed bug that caused videos to repeatedly play.
-added "play random" to all folders except "newest".

The play random thing is nice, IMO.

Oh, by the way guys... anytime a plugin stops working or has bugs or even if you have a suggestion, feel free to post here or use the issues tracker on my google code page.

can be downloaded from the link in my sig or using the xbox addons installer.

[rwparris2]

more bug fixes. apparently they switched the commercials back to the way there were originally. Now it plays both, main vid and commercial.

Link in sig, or xbmc addons installer.

i hope someone somewhere is enjoys this.

This was causing xbmc for xbox to freeze when playing a non mp4 video in alpha 4 & beta 1.

Fixed it.

[rwparris2]

Small update

Fixed - Older Videos weren't working
Fixed - mp4 links weren't working

I will look into it immediately.

Thank you for the report.

[doughmayne]

*raises hand*

same problem here, only plays what appears to be the outro.

the good news however is that this is the first vid plugin for my xbox that has actually played any video at all!

fyi, not sure if it matters, i'm in canada.

thanks!

[rwparris2]

I'm at work so I can't test it, but you can try replacing default.py with this one

[doughmayne]

seems to be working with that one! thanks!

When I go Video/Plugins/Onion New Network then O-Span then I tried out the first one, which was "Treasury Department issues emergency recall of All us Dollars" the video tries to load then a box comes up but then it goes away after 2 seconds and no video loads? Is this just me? Im running most recent build
