NEW: Send NZB files from feed items to the SABnzb addon. Tested with nzb.su, nzbindex.nl, medianzb.

Google Reader Direct DownLoad Video Streamer

Dharma addon to browse through a Google Reader account and stream any hotfile download links found on the resulting feed page or send an NZB file to the SABnzb addon. I prefer to use Google Reader instead of having to deal with each sites individual feeds, like rlslog/rlsbb/scnrls, plus searching feed history is nice.

REQUIREMENTS:
* Google Reader account.
* Premium hotfile account or SABnzbd addon for NZB downloading.
* Feeds need to be in at least one folder/category in Google Reader because this script gets a list of folders as the initial index and then drills down from there. You can use an existing Reader account as this script won't effect any of your feeds.
* For multipart rar streaming you must create/modify userdata/autoexec.py. See README.txt.

NZB HANDLING:
If an nzb file is found when you select a feed item it will automatically be sent to the SABnzb addon. If the feed has images attached (nzb.su) then they will be used just like usual. When adding rss feeds from sites such as nzbindex or binsearch be sure to add ".nzb" to the search query. This will mostly ensure that the returned results will only be the nzb posts.

MULTIPART RARS:
To stream multipart rars you must create, or add a line to, the autoexec.py file in the userdata folder. See the autoexec.py file provided with this module which you may copy or use as an example. Restart XBMC to have it loaded. Then go to the GReader DDL addon settings and enable the REDIRECT SERVER. If you receive a REDIRECT SERVER CONNECT error when browsing feeds then try changing the port number which is also in the addon settings. When selecting an archive the script will need to read the directory from each file which can take some time depending on the number of rars in the set. Also when selecting a video within the archive XBMC will need to read data from each of the files again so be patient.

KNOWN ISSUES:
*For rars: XBMC will check each rar again before it plays. There is no indicators for this other than "working...". Can take a few seconds.
*For rars: XBMC will sometimes fail to start the video and get stuck with "working..." and require a restart of the program.

TODO:
*Mark individual items as read, unread, starred, etc.
*Customize # feed items to display. Currently hard coded at 100 max.
*Browse all latest, starred, shared, read and friends feeds.
*Browse a whole folder's feeds instead of drilling down per feed.
*Download context menu. Maybe integrate with jdownloader or some other queueing program.
*Allow filtering items. Maybe integrate with TVRage script.
*Add more premium hosters like rapidshare, megaupload, etc. But I don't want to buy premium accounts to do this. If someone is trusting enough to let me use theirs for development PM me.

WINDOWS:
I did development on Windows but I only use XBMC on Linux for regular use. During development I had alot of problems with "URLError: <urlopen error (8, 'EOF occurred in violation of protocol" errors when trying to connect to https. It will give this error the first time but then work ok for awhile.

THANKS:
Unbehagen for the hotfile code.
Asktherelic.com for the python greader api code.
Marko Kreen for rarfile.py.

New v1.0.1 adds searching ability and context menu to Mark Feed Read. Hack around unicode feeds by not displaying them. Hope to get some help with handling unicode data.

New v1.0.2. Fixed search bugs. Show feed content in Movie Information dialog.

New v1.0.3. Better hotfile link finding. Handle feeds that use iframes such as katz.

New v1.1.0. Streams multirar videos (requires autoexec.py). If hotfile links are in the RSS feed then change color of title to white to stand out (does not mean there are no hotfile links on the actual website page the rss feed points to. this is just for convenience). Misc bug fixes.

With the multipart rar streaming support you can now use hotfile specific feeds from forums like hotfile-zone or hotfile-forum.

New v1.1.1. Bug fixes for multipart rar regex. Fix handling single file rars. Added "informative" progress dialogs. Sort multipart rars for sites that don't already (freshswap). Fix iframe handling for sites that use them (katz). Small performance enhancements. Remove unnecessary debug code. Preparing for other ddl services using jdownloader.

it seems we are working on fairly similar things, especially streaming from one-click-file-hosters.

you mention in your to-do:
*Add more premium hosters like rapidshare, megaupload, etc.

i'm developing it anyway for my icefilms addon.
i'll post an update there when its in a useable state.

i've also been trying to work out context menus, so i'm going to try using some of your code

New v1.2.1. Using rarfile.py library to find videos in archives. Makes archive streaming *much* more reliable. Should display a notice if passworded archives or archives within archives are detected. Fixed more rar regex matching. Added DEBUG boolean to cut down on debug output.

v1.2.2. Made httpserver.py threaded. Added status of what file/volume is being processed in multirars.

v1.2.4. Validate links in parallel for speed up. Created repository for easier updating to XBMC clients.

NOTICE: IF YOU DOWNLOADED MY REPOSITORY FILE BEFORE 1/30/2011 THEN PLEASE DOWNLOAD, UNINSTALL AND INSTALL IT AGAIN. Just the repository and not the addon. Google Downloads are stupid and you probably tried to install a non working old version.
