Trying to put together a comprehensive list of all Scripts and Plugins for XBMC...
#1
Information 
There seems to be several issues getting scripts and plugins to work on the WINDOWS platform. See posts:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=35315
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=37684

It's not clear why these scripts and plugins don't work, but most errors occur due to url and Winsock calls from the scripts' code. Since I do not have an XBOX or Linux, I have only tested these on Windows and cannot verify their working states on other platforms.

All scripts and plugins have been started "out of the box" with no alterations in the scripts like "socket.setdefaulttimeout". For testing purposes both the msvcr71.dll and the msvcp71.dll have been placed in system32 and the Python Image Libraries have been installed.

The purpose of this post is to get a clarifying overview of existing scripts and plugins, response from other users and to find out what's causing troubles in relation to the windows build.


This list is far from complete and totally relies on input from other users. A scripts might need an account or user settings to make it work. So please post your findings in this post. If you do, just copy and paste an item from the list (or the whole list), edit your findings in a simple text editor and past the list back into this topic. Use "Wrap
Code:
tags around selected text"[/b] (needs a non-proportional font) and make your entry [b]BOLD[/b] or [u]UNDERLINED[/u].


The [u]first[/u] column show the script/plugin name, The [u]second[/u] shows if the script grabs [i]indexes[/i] from a urls/sites/IP-addreses and shows some thumbnails, the [u]third[/u] and most important column shows whether the content shown [i]actually streams [/i]to your PC. It's this part where most scripts and plugins fail.

"o" represents a working state, "x" a failure.

It seems that most scripts and plugins CAN get info from url but 2/3 FAIL when they actually need to stream the content.

This topic is currently aimed on the Windows platform only. If errors due to the windows build are filtered out, the Wiki can be updated Nod

Got some of the plugins working by removing or placing a comment on the line which contains "socket.setdefaulttimeout".

That's reason why for instance the Apple Movie Trailers script is working for everyone. The line containing "socket.setdefaulttimeout" is now scratched by default.

In case the streaming problems are with using RTSP streams, like using the MP TV Client, I'm pretty sure it's the bug I experienced too: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/4966

If it is, please help out on providing debug logs Smile

Great work mate. Thats for your time and effort.

I've said this before but each script / plugin should have its own page for FAQ, Comments, Bugs etc but until that happens this is a great start

Can't reproduce your error, but the log shows various other inconsistencies:

http://www.pastebin.ca/1229182

NTAuthority, could you upload the latest version of the MP TV Client Plugin your using or give an url? And only the files needed to get it running. I've downloaded several, got it working (not the actual streaming), but it's not really clear which files to use and which not.............

VeohProxy is missing from the scripts list. It never worked for me (xbmc crash), at least until beta 1 (I've not tried beta 2).
But it DOES work if you install python and run the script OUTSIDE xbmc.

I'll confirm that very few of the plugins I have tried actually work. I think most of my findings align with the OP's list. I'm running Vista Ultimate 64bit, and no plugin I have tried has been able to actually stream data. Most are able to at least get the virtual directory listings correctly, but no streaming.

However, plugins listed above as working with regards to streaming don't work for me. Most notably, Apple Movie Trailers does not work for me, and neither does the built-in Last.fm plugin. I can't get any UPnP servers to work either. Basically, no manner of streaming works on my system. All of those components are able to get virtual directory info, but none of them can stream.

And also to note, when I try to view trailers through the Apple Trailers plugin, I can get all the way down to the individual video "files", and they report a filesize. But when I select them, they don't stream. But when I use any other plugin that I've tried (Ninja Videos, Jooxt, TV Shack), the video files report as 0.0k filesize, and also don't stream.

I'll try modifying some of the files to include "socket.setdefaulttimeout" and see if it helps any.

@BrokenRecord

On XP, placing the "msvcr71.dll" and the "msvcp71.dll" in the system32 solved the streaming of files for the AMT script.

Regarding uPnP. I've already opened a topic: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=36373. Doesn't give any clear answers though.........

Putting the MS dlls in system32 worked on Vista x64 too actually. I'm now able to stream Apple Trailers, Last.fm songs, and TV Shack videos (those are all I've tested for tonight).

I'll check the UPnP thing tomorrow to see if I can get any more info on it. In my case, I'm trying to use XBMC as a client/renderer, not a server. I'm was actually trying to get it to work with the PlayOn media server to see how well the Netflix access would work.

Do any of the Devs have some insight as why the majority of thye plugins/scripts aren't working?

Not yet. We would need to test every single script to see what is going wrong and we don't have the time for it. it would save us time if one can find the problem like the timeout issue and trac them.

Well, haven't got any knowledge about XBMC's inner workings regarding url or winsocket calls, so I only offer differences in log output

For instance VideoMonkey without work around:

Other than an error in the videomonkey script, most errors occur in the "urllib2.py" which is a part of the default XBMC install.
