[RELEASE] 66Stage Megavideo Movies (Video) Plugin

Thanks Temhil,

By the way great job on that Tac TV Script

The 66Stage - DivX plugin is current from 12/15.

The 66Stage - Mega Video plugin was updated on 12/22..

My googlecode page in my last post & signature has the latest versions.

I'll post here when changes are made to either one of them.

Cheers,

FC

Hi f8lcoder,

I was just figuring it out while you were posting. I added The 66Stage - Mega Video plugin was updated on 12/22 and it is now available via the our installer script.
Really nice job, works well for me

this is an awesome plugin but when ever i try too load the second half of whatever im watchin, the first thing i noticed is that it grabs it from another server(http://www.megavideo.com, but on the first half it grabs it from something like http://www.20.megavideo.com)and then it cashe's about a quarter of it and stops, i can click on it again but same thing happens...this is for all the movies ive tryed
any help would be greatly apreciated
thanks

I'll take a look at it over the next couple of days, I haven't logged anytime into working on either of these plugin's since the last update posted. But I have looked into mega video and there is a time limit no matter which server is used. I think that this may be causing your problem.

Be aware that after 72 minutes there is a viewing break which takes about 50 minutes. During this time your ability to view any movies from mega video will be halted this is unfortunatly an advertising break for megavideo and can not be stopped. This is also why I added the download feature in my last update.

The only other way around this while using this plugin via the xbox is to restart and renew your IP address.

If you are using another system/OS you'll have to watch offline.When you click on a megavideo video, click pause and allow the video to buffer all the way to 100%. Once the video is done buffering, go to your menu bar on your browser, and click on file">"work offline" then watch the video. To view another video simply unclick the work offline and Repeat the Process....

Hope this helps if I find anything going on with the coding of this plugin I will post an update.

even if i just start my xbox and click on the second half of anything it does the same thing...grabs it from a different server then any of the first ones and cache's a quarter of it and stops...then nothing happens

Sorry to say I haven't looked into this yet, I just haven't had the time. I will have the time to take look over the next day or two (depending on whether my employer actually makes me do real work heheh). My apologies for the wait but I will get to it.

Ok,

I just looked at the 66stage site and attempted to run parts 2 of Zack and Marie and The Express. Neither of them would buffer or play. Which points to the media being nonexistent on the MV servers. They could've been removed or possibly uploaded incorrectly. So for the moment it looks like this issue is with MegaSh*deo and not the plugin. I'll know more later when I can thoroughly look at it.

thank you very much...
I dont know if this helps but when its conecting to the server on the first half it grabs it on a server like http://www.782.megavideo.com or http://www.357.megavideo.com or http://www.488.megavideo.com etc. nd when its conecting to the server on the second half its always http://www.megavideo.com on every single one
thanks again

It seems to me 66stage videos take a long time to load. I hope it is because of the quality of their videos and larger file sizes rather than the slowness of my wireless connection.

I can play Hulu with Wireless Bon my XBoX. But whenever 66stage plugin doesn't give up, I still see frequent "Buffering" and paused videos. Quality does indeed some better than Hulu though.

And what is PAPlayer? For 66stage files I see 3 options, DVDPlayer and MPlayer included. MPlayer gives up, DVDPlayer plays with "buffering" and PAPlayer doesn't do jack.

I could not get anything to play on 66Stage. All I get is a single folder to show.
