I'll test when I get home tonight, thanks for reporting.
What OS are you on, bob1122?

This works fine for me on r19556 on xbox and r19822 on win. Can I get a debug log please?

hi, this plug-in used to work for me on my acer revo 3610 (xbmc 9.11 r26018 -- 12.24.2009).
but now when i go to any sub-directory (all videos, sports, 0-span, ...) it says 'error script failed' and doenst list the videos.

your link on reply #13 is no longer valid; is this plug-in still being maintained ?

[schneidz]

this is my stock cap solution:
i ssh into my machine and execute this bash script:

Code:

xbmc@XBMCLive:~/win/stuff/clips/onion$ cat onion.ksh
#!/bin/bash

wget http://www.theonion.com/feeds/onn/

i=1
for mp4 in `grep enclosure index.html | awk -F "http" '{print $3}' | awk -F "mp4" '{print "http" $1 "mp4" }'`
do
last=`basename $mp4`
if [ "`ls *$last`" ]
then
  mv *$last `zero-pad-2.x $i`-$last
  else
   wget $mp4
   mv $last `zero-pad-2.x $i`-$last
fi
i=`expr $i + 1`
done

is there a way i can execute this using the remote via a plugin so i dont need to ssh in each time i want to update it ?

doesn't seem to work on Windows 9.11, hangs loading list - anyone confirm working on windows builds? haven't tried xbox recently.

perhaps the content is available through navi-x..

Is this script still being maintained?
It gives an error.

I found a simple fix to this plugin. This fix is for Mac.
1. Go to ~/Library/Application Support/XBMC/addons/plugin.video.theonion_com/
2. Edit the default.py file
3. On the line # 35, add a space after word article. i.e. it should be '<article >'

Onion has changed the tag to include space that's why this plugin was not working. If they change the anything ever slightly in the html structure, then again we would see the problem. until then, this is working pretty good for me.

Confirming that this fix works on Frodo 12.2 for Linux.

Single difference is the directory structure for Linux has the file at: ~/.xbmc/addons/plugin.video.theonion_com/default.py

Thanks for saving my morning!
