Day[9] Plugin Playback Help

czarphanguye Wrote:Few ideas on this plug-in. 1) List the entire archive. 2.) Include the ep name, like "Funday Monday Carrier rush" in the listings.

ty.

I'd love a much older archive too. That'd be great.

Would it be possible to scrape the ep name into the title, and the date into the description?

I definitely agree with a better naming scheme, as for me... I have no idea which daily number I'm on as sometimes I might be a day or two behind (heinous, I know!).

But you can actually easily change this yourself. If you open Default.py in your favorite text editor (notepad, wordpad, gedit, vi, etc)...

if you look a few lines under the line "def VIDEOLINKS(url, name):", you'll see a line that says "name = name.split(' - ')". This combined with a function call a few lines down is where the name is being created. So how does it work?

Here's an example of the string being used...
"Day[9] Daily #191 - How to Analyze a Map and Adjust Your Play"

What this is doing is taking that string and returning an array of two values:
0 - "Day[9] Daily #191"
1 - "How to Analyze a Map and Adjust Your Play"

D0nR0sa is using the first array value to name the episodes in the listing. What I did was change the value being passed into name.split from ' - ' to 'Daily #'. You could possibly argue that '#' would be sufficient, but to avoid any future oddities with Day9 using a number sign in his title, I went a bit more specific. So what do we get in the array now?

0 - "Day[9] "
1 - "191 - How to Analyze a Map and Adjust Your Play"

I like the value of 1 for my daily names. So in the "addLink(...)" line that is before "def get_params():", just change the "name[0]" to "name[1]".

As for allowing more than 12 videos. The reason it doesn't do this is because it only grabs the first page in the video archive. It would need some sort of back and forward option in the listing. The only problem you run into... Day9 hasn't been consistent with his naming scheme the entire way through, so it might require some extra logic just to come up with a valid name.

I tried this as well...

I notice though I'm not getting updates, as I never restart XMBC. I just suspend/resume all the time. Any way to manually refresh the RSS Feed?

Still no idea how to get the RSS://Source to update, so the OP's plug-in is the best way to watch recent Day9 VoDs IMHO. Thx

Is this project dead?

I was hoping we'd see an update to this, since Day[9] is really fun to watch.

Well, I continued it a bit but never actually got around to finish it.
I will see that I will upload what I got on the Weekend (probably Sunday) and maybe I will finish it now that you ask

Can't promise anything though.

Yes, Yes, Please. At least do something with naming scheme because Day9 uploads now tourney replays causing scripts error. And i could not adopt aikouka advice since it's totally different names.

If you make any progress, please let us know.

I'd also like to see this in the official repo, since I guess when you're finished, there's not a whole lot of additions you can make to the plug-in.

Download link is died. Refresh please

Well this is an old post but the current Day9 plugin doesnt list any videos. But Day9 does have all of his vids on youtube so you can watch them threw that. though i think it is harder to find them.
