[RELEASE] Justin.tv (Video) Plugin

x2012x Wrote:Very cool plugin stacked!!!! great job I use it all the time. Im just having one issue, when i first picked all channels it worked fine but somehow it saved the results and the same channels with the same thumbnails come up everytime,sometimes a few of the channels change but a majority stay the same.Am I doing something wrong or is it jtv? i have the latest version of xbmc. I appreciate any help and thanks again for the plugin!

The plugin scrapes the jtv site, so whatever channels is currently listed on jtv, shows up on the plugin results.

But, there is a small issue with the thumbnails. jtv usually updates the preview thumbnail on every channel every minute or so. Since XBMC caches thumbnails, the thumbnails won't update to the current jtv thumbnail. I need to find a way to make xbmc refresh the thumbs.

Hardly a priority.

As long as the thing works, and it seems to be doing that just fine.

Now I cant wait for the football seasons to start again.

It should be working. Clear the cache and get the latest update (v1.4.5) from the svn repo.

installed the update but im still getting the same channels and thumbnails from when i ran it the first time.it sucks that jtv changed theyre site around i had no problems before then =[ let me know if u can figure it out. thx for the help!

I know there is a problem with the thumbnails updating, but there is nothing wrong with the channels. Browse to a section on jtv on your computer, then go to the same section on jtv (at the same time). Compare the channel titles and see if they match up.

Everytime you navigate forward on the plugin, it's actually downloading the current justin.tv page. So you should only be seeing whats on justin.tv.

i apologize you are right...it just got confusing with the same thumbnails lol sry bout that...and thank you very much again for the plugin!!

[Update 7/17/09 v1.4.6]
- fixed thumbnail problem; cache thumbnails are deleted when plugin starts


...I'm hoping there are no more bugs.
