[WIP] TWiT Addon

I thought the most recent twenty episodes would be enough Smile

I've been contemplating adding settings for the different bitrate streams. Looking at the website vs. the rss: feed, the rss feed offers a lot more options. Thoughts ?

Awesome work!

I am having buffering issues with the live stream, is it a setting I need to set, or a bug?

I haven't had any buffering issues. Little to no buffering with any of the streams. Maybe something else on your network hogging the bandwidth?

I should have a steady 100/100 mbit connection to the internet. It should not be an issue.

All recorded shows play fine, its just live that is buffering...

Odd, I haven't seen any buffering issues either. Watched it for a few hours this weekend.

There might be another live feed that you can use, I'll do some digging on it.

Adam: the other streams for ustream and justin.tv are rtmp and harder to access. Also justin.tv rmtp server use an unsupported token that will not work with xbmc's librtmp. I am not sure about the ustream ones currently. I haven't looked at them lately.

the bit gravity streams which are in plain text in the html work great though and http only. there is also a 400kbit stream which also works.

divingmule: they follow a the same naming conventions so it is easy enough to support all quality levels with web scraping.

I am rewriting this to include web scraping for complete episode lists since it seems no one else wanted to. Also I am going to set more meta data like episode descriptions and air date.

sjefen6: a long time ago I submitted a ticket about a buffering problem for twit live streams but that has been fixed. what version of xbmc are you using? here is the ticket

Awesome. I haven't looked into the other feeds or what XBMC supports. To be honest, this is the first time I've modified a python script for xbmc.

I really don't want to discourage you developing this because I would love to see a many more plug-in developers. I am just itching to watch back episodes of security now because I kinda got into the show.

have you considered submitting this to the official repo? I think it would be a valuable addition. twit is one of those great content providers that loves it when their content is spread far and wide.

I found this pluggin in an unmodefied xbmc 10.0 beta 2 under video pluggins. Am I mixing different pluggins?

I didn't think there was much value in preview episodes because it's mostly news content. Scraping web content and following links may be outside my skill set at the moment. If you want it any time soon, I'd suggest doing it yourself. Smile

I thought divingmule submitted it to the main repo with this comment:
