[RELEASE] Justin.tv (Video) Plugin

Marrvia Wrote:I love this plugin! What would make this great though is if it had "now playing" information in the title. Thanks for this plugin, it is my currently my favorite one.

Can you show me what you're talking about?

The plugin is already displaying the title and the status of each channel. If you're talking the "!nowplaying" or "!nextplaying" commands, then no, its not possible.

What I'm talking about is if you go to this page for example...

http://www.justin.tv/directory/gaming

For each channel, you see a thumbnail on the top, right under it is the name of the channel, and under that it tells you what is currently playing (usually), with Viewers, and views under that.

What I am talking about for the plugin, is to see what is currently playing. Right now, the plugin only has the name for the channel and views and viewers.

Done....Update with the SVN Repo Installer

This is an awesome plugin although when in library mode the subfolders don't display the correct information - all the links just come up as justin.tv. I thought this was a bug with xbmc but read a comment on the tvshack thread which made me think it could be something else...

"can you please make sure to set the video info tag's title entry for the actual streams? that way, things show up nicely in library mode as the label is not used there, as it is in file mode. there are reasons for this and i don't really feel like adding a workaround just to fix the plugin node... "

Now I have no idea about programming so this means nothing to me but maybe it makes more sense to you?

Cheers

I'm not sure what is wrong. What thread is that from?

Fair enough, thanks for the quick reply. The comment was from Spiff #64 in this thread http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=33160&page=7

I guess it must be a glitch with xbmc, I did create a ticket on trac a while a go so maybe someone at team xbmc will have a look at that sometime.

Awesome! Much better. Thank you!

I know this is wishful thinking, and I doubt this is even possible with a plugin, but would it be possible to add a feature to where you can stream the archived portions of a channel? You know how if you put "#from-16.00,June-19-2009" for example after a channel link on the website, you can start the channel from any time you want from the last 7 days, granted the channel was up at that paticular time. That feature would be amazing. I know nothing about making plugins, so I have no idea if something like that is even possible on xbmc, but if it is, that would rock.

...I don't think its possible. The website runs scripts to match your requested start time with available clips near that start time. And I can't do that in a plugin. But you could browse and play archived 5 min clips based on start time, date, and channel. example. Though, I think this would be useless.

Damn, that's too bad. Still a great plugin though. Thanks!
