[RELEASE] Icefilms.info Plugin Addon

that error is caused by mechanize not being found.
the crucial thing is that script.module.mechanize
is present in the addons directory. it is automatically installed from my repository when doing a fresh install, but not when doing updates....

heres a zipped version of script.module.mechanize
script.module.mechanize.zip
unzip it and put it in the main addons directory. the error should go away. gl

Me too. My wife would *not* have been happy if she came home and I had to tell her it was broken!

Yep. It working alright. On which items will the newly added features actually manifest or subtly show their effects?

I did see the genres and the HD section. Don't know about the recaptcha.

many of the shows in TV Shows > Popular have reCaptcha on their episodes mirror pages.
According to the icefilms staff, this is because the links disappear otherwise. (presumably some pro-copyright web crawling software finds them and reports them).

Try any of the episodes of The Office (2005) for an example.
(icefilms addon autodetects if mirror page requires reCaptcha)

Nice work man! Thanks a bunch for making this plugin. Its awesome!
Loving the way you've flattened down the sources thing so that you don't have to click on the file itself!
So whats next on the agenda??

Some sugguestions:

1. Add "Your Starred Items" menu. This is basically a favourites feature on icefilms and is really handy especially for things like TV shows etc.
2. Revisit Python Streaming script solution. While it works a lot of the time its not completely seamless.....especially if you have to pause etc to make a cup of tea or whatever! My sugguestion would be to replace this with the existing caching method (C:\Users\{username}\AppData\LocalLow\DivX\Temporary Downloaded Files). I usually open this dir while playing files online and then use VLC to play them instead. The inbuilt Divx player kinda sucks!!! Perhaps even let the user select the dir to cache to! This would be a lot more seamless for the majority of users and would allow those on slower connections to pause and wait for the file to cache a little before playing.

Thanks,

Mark

Updated successfully by deleting the addon and userdata for icefilms. Had to install the script.module.mechanize.zip but it wasn't a problem.

I know ice-films doesn't have any images suitible for fanart but would it be possible to add in a scraper to do this from a different website (maybe the same one that runs for the clearart downloader script)? The reason I ask is because its pretty ugly to find what you are looking for unless I'm using file mode (Night Purity Mod).

Just an idea.

1. This is a minor feature that involves a fair bit of complicated code. It may come in the future, but the feature you describe in 2 has far greater urgency. EDIT: ive had another request for this. For now the search function is the quickest way to find stuff

2. This was already on my To-Do (check the first post for the full To-Do), eventually with a method to queue files (ie. all parts of a source). You are right, caching to a separate folder will solve those issues of not buffering the entire video.

Currently, metadata + prettiness are secondary to actual functionality, they will likely be implemented only in the far future, unless someone else wants to join me in coding, i'm getting stretched pretty thin.
