Shaking the magic 8 ball.... and the answer is - "Maybe"

If I get some extra time I'll give it a shot, since it is XBMC related I don't mind doing it so much.

Added forum http://www.xbmchub.info (mostly anyway - you can view forums, threads and posts)

Get it here:

Changes:
[INDENT]Removed xbmcgui.lock()/unlock() to get rid of the log warnings
Fixed a minor skin bug for highlighting threads with last reply by the user
Added ability to handle forums in the threads listing
Added forum http://www.xbmchub.info (Mostly)[/INDENT]

Okay. Can I test the WIP version? I've encountered the same issue on the same machine through WinXP (dual-boot), and on the Xbox port that somebody made.

They all have exactly the same issue. Is it even possible to have an IP related bug on this?

A couple of questions come to mind. Have you tried any other forums. It would be nice to know if you have the same problems browsing other forums.

Also what all is between XBMC and the web? Router/Firewall/Proxy - whatever.

I'm just trying to gather some data that might give some clues.

I'll let you know when I've got a special testing version ready for you.

Hi Ruuk

working a treat, thanks for your time and effort
John.

Hi Ruuk,

looks like the XBMC Hub website has changed a little, the plugin just loads to a black screen, would it be possible sometime for you to have a look at it for me?
When you go to the XBMC Hub website directly in a browser you are now presented with a front welcome page.

I'm using a router for my main PC's internet access, but it's not the source. I have an USB 3G modem running on another Windows PC. From there, I have it set up with internet connection sharing (ICS) running to a wireless router. No firewall on the ICS Windows PC, or my primary Linux one.

None of the computers, or devices, in the house I've tested with the plugin work. They all have the same problem.

OSes tested -> XP32, Vista32, Vista64, Seven32, Linux64, iPod Touch 4.x, XBMC4Xbox 3.0.x.
