Changes:
- Fixed a bug in the code for handling older python versions in xmlrpclib
- Fixed a bug when forums failed to get data

On my REPO.

Thanks friedfarmer for finding that. It was a dumb bug where I had actions reversed on an if statement. This should fix it. Please let me know how it goes.

Hello ruuk, upgraded to 0.9.16
Still not able to connect to forum.xbmc.org, same message occurs.
Here is log:

Version 0.9.17

Changes:
- Carried logged in indicator through to all views
- Fixed another bug in the code for handling older python versions in xmlrpclib

On my REPO.

Thanks friedfarmer for finding for getting back on this. This was another bug dealing with the older verison of python shipping with XBMC for windows. This should fix it. Please let me know how it goes.

Do other people see my signature in my posts? I can't, even if I log out.

friedfarmer · 2012-04-12 17:57

Ok, version 0.9.17 seems to have fixed it. Can get all the way to posts.
Thanks!

I do notice one more problem though with the xbmchub.com forum.
It connects fine and drills down the categories and sub-categories fine but when selecting down to the posts, the usernames show fine but when selecting the posts they all show the word "ERROR" int their message post box.
This only happens on the xbmchub.com forum and has the same problem when using version 0.9.6

I only use 3 forums with your plugin. xbmc.org (works now), boxeetv (works), xbmchub (problem described above).

I can send log after selecting just xbmchub drilled down to posts if you wish.

Thanks for testing this. I've been waiting to find out if my fixes for the windows python version worked and it looks like it's finally there with the new changes.

The problem with xbmchub.com is known. All of the included forums (except for xbmc.org's) do not use the tapatalk plugin and instead are scraped from the web pages. That means that whenever something changes on one of those sites, Forum Browser will likely stop working correctly with them. The best thing you can do is encourage those forums to install the Tapatalk plugin which allows users to browse their forums from their mobile phones with the Tapatalk apps (and which I've taken advantage of with Forum Browser).
I only update the scraping definitions for the other forums when I'm in the mood for long and frustrating trial and error sessions Smile

hi ruuk
I also can confirm that your repo works a treat it pulls web viewer v0.8.6 and also now the install notification icon now shows as well
I have tried to make it error but so far have failed to do so
I notice the green logged in light has been carried to all screens which is cool
I've also managed to log into xbmc4xbox and the icon came on green straight away, I was then able to make a post ok, but notice that the green logged in icon next to my avatar area was black yet I was logged in with the icon at the top- rightside
This is a post from within forum browser with me typing half with a keyboard and half with my remote which is working really well
I will be able to do alot more testing over the weekend, and maybe get some more forums into the database

also I dont see your signiture on your posts either

Thanks again for testing Smile

The non-tapatalk forums are going to behave differently. Right now for those forums, once you successfully log in, Forum browser just says your logged in from then on. There is no easy way to check if you remain logged in. I might do some checking to see if there is anything I can do to keep the session persistent if it's not. In any case, the addon will log you in automatically if it needs to do something that requires it.

Yeah, I went to report it and saw that other users are having the same problem.

Version 0.9.18

Changes:
- Removed red highliting of name for posts by user - and instead darkened the background of the post

On my REPO.

btw, all my addons are on my repo now, for anyone who cares Smile

hasselhof · 2012-04-12 21:42

Just got your update from your repo, the removal of the red name and darkened background is much better Smile

The repo is running smoothly
