[VBS/Pitchfork/Crunchyroll] maruchan addons repository

I noticed a couple of things with the CR plugin.

First: some of the views like the recently added show names like "Episiode 22" and "Episode 302". Combined with the thumbnail I can distinguish which show they belong to but its not quite handy. Perhaps its possible to return something like: "Bleach - Episode 302" instead?

Second: every now and then the video loops back. It varies from a couple of seconds to well over 30 seconds but there is some garbage on the screen during the transition. I doubt this is something you can fix as XBMC itself is playing the stream, but I'm mentioning it just in case.

Finally, I get an exception when playing videos. It was working last night and broke today...

Code:

I will look into a better way of listing the episodes. Also, that error you got should be fixed in the latest version (2.1.1)... which version are you using?

cyberwizzard · 2011-01-19 00:39

It might be 2.1.0 but I can't get XBMC to refresh the addon listing. Last time I resorted to replacing the files by hand...

Edit: I removed the plugin and installed it again using the GUI. While the reported version is 2.0, the changelog said 2.1.1 and now its working again.

The repo installation keeps failing.

To everyone who's having issues with the repo failing during install: try the new version that I just uploaded. I created it in Windows rather than OSX and it seems to install just fine on my end.

Tried it. No dice on Linux.
The log just says it's not a valid plugin.

Man, this is extremely annoying. Is anyone willing to try unzipping the file manually (outside of XBMC) and dropping the resulting folder into their /addons/ directory to see if it works? I'm really confused why it's not working when it worked perfectly fine before 10.0 final and conforms to the specifications.

I installed XBMC on Win7, used "Install from ZIP" (worked) and installed the CR plugin + ran it - all works.

MoseIlla: you sure u are using 10.0?

I added a new proof-of-concept plugin which will allow you to play your iTunes Library via Plex Media Server. Although Plex Media Server is for Mac OSX only, the plugin should work on any operating system (tested on Win 7 and OSX 10.6)

Am I the only one who doesn't get premium content at Crunchyroll anymore? I see in the logs that it attempts to log in (using the correct credentials) but there isn't a confirmation (no clue if it did that before). However, when trying to watch new episodes it tells me my account cannot watch those.

I've tested using a browser and Boxee and there everything works... It might just be a fluke or something but restarting XBMC didn't help - its been like this at least half a day.
