nixa,

If this plugin is not yours you should at least acknowledge the creator. Who from this thread I believe is jbel.

Please correct me if I am wrong

Nick8888, you better check your fact right before doing posting here. open up the default.py file and make the comparison. (mine is short n clean bytheway, no offense tho)

Oh my god, i am so sorry guys coz i dont realize this site has been plugged.

there is only one guru i credited to - Voinage, period.

Nixa,

Perhaps next time you would like to elaborate more in your posts.

I could not see any difference in the plugin from using it.

I am still to look into the code but I appreciate your work if you have tidied it up.

Quit harassing -- there is nothing for nixa to have elaborated on. Sometimes duplicate plugins get made, there isn't anything more to it.

The code is different, at a glance it appears to be more than a tidied up version of jbel's plugin, end of discussion.

[Nick8888]

Harassing? I beg to differ. I was simply trying to establish where credit was due. I am glad we have established that and yes it is time to move on.

Great lectures, great website, great plugin. Thankyou Nixa

Love to see more plugins like this (or one single plugin for "OpenCourseWare" with for all academics lecture)
http://www.google.com/search?q=opencourseware

The Open University in the UK is for example a very nice site for lectures and videos courses like these:
http://www.open.ac.uk (Boxee does by the way have a python script as and "app" for this).
http://www.open.ac.uk/platform
http://www.youtube.com/ou
http://www.open.ac.uk/itunes

A very nice plugin!

... If I could get it to work.
It gives a python error.
(Error.
Python script failed:
special://home/scripts/Academic Earth/default.py)

wgbh-plugin gives the same error

I can run other scripts (xot_utg and youtube), though.
I'm running XP.

[spiff]

it's a plugin not a script

[anandus]

it's a plugin not a script

Whoops.
My bad
