[RELEASE] Modland and reLive (Music) Plugins - Game Music Plugin & Demo Scene Plugin

should be quite simple to make it work. its been on my todo list for a while but ive been busy with other projects. will get back to you here about it when I have sorted it.

Thanks for your reply. It's a great news !

Modland and reLive plugins are now on the official addon repository, and installable from within xbmc.

Thanks! However I got a problem with the modland plugin.
It will play only sega megadrive en gameboy songs.

It crashes at line 175 in default.py
album = params['album']
Unknown key 'album'

Apparantly this isn't filled in properly (perhaps modland's/unexotica's api has changed). Anyway I just patched it up to
album = 'test' #params['album']
works flawless now :-)

please give me an example of a search/tune that didnt work. also which version of xbmc are you running.

using Git:7e60803
on openSUSE 11.3 (i586), 2.6.34.7-0.7-pae i686). Built on Jan 13 2011

well, a lot of the songs didnt work (any protracker/tmfx for example). E.g.,
search: "barry leitch"
browse to lotus2-title.mod (or apidya, monkey island, etc.)

I assumed that the problem was in the parsing of the html. But I guess that it may be that i'm using git instead of the official dharma (however, there were only a couple of small commits since the tagging of dharma I believe)

If you like (or cant reproduce it) I can debug it further.

I just tried on my dharma release and that tune played fine. i just checked the logs, and your ip I believe is currently throttled/barred temporarily. probably causing the fault. There is currently a limit of 40 tunes per 2 hour period. I will reset you, and see if it then works.

I know what the problem is. There is a svn revision check for older xbmc, and of course with the git revisions this check is no longer working. The check can be removed probably now anyway. Note that playback wont work though also if you hit the limit.

the code that is running that shouldnt be will be removed from the next version. it is old compatibility code that is no longer needed.

k thanks for the information. playing with the 'patch' (if you can call it that) works perfectly.

After a while the plugin refused to play any song, without generating any error. So I guess I then hit my 40 song limit, after a while it worked again (probably when you manually reset my ip). You might want to show a messagebox when you encounter this throttling problem, otherwise you will get many bug reports about this.

Im not sure about many reports since I dont think that many people use it but nice to know a few do.

Because i want to pass just the url to xbmc so that it can identify which item is playing, and not just pass it back to the plugin to handle, handling the throttle limit is tricky. probably the best fix is a small recording from the streaming backend saying the limit has been reached - then you can listen to the error.
