[RELEASE] Icefilms.info Plugin Addon

I keep getting kicked off midstream. Then I cant connect again.
Any ideas?

is it possible its because you've reached your megaup download limit?

is this with an account or no account?

Hello. Thanks for this very good addon. Is there any way to have a category for 720p sources? Or maybe through search?

there can be no A-Z for 720p sources unfortunately, but there can be a:

Popular, Latest Releases, Recently added, Top Rated
for 720p of each main category (Movies, TV Shows etc...)

this is purely because that is how the icefilms site is configured....
i will add this to next release.

i wish there was an A-Z avaliable for 720p. Maybe you can request this in the Icefilms.info forums, then i could add it.


i recommend switching your xbmc Video scaling method to Lanczos 3 optimized,
since the dvdrips on icefilms are of scene quality they scale rather well.

I have a free account. I thought I might have reached the limit last night, but today I got kicked off after a 30 minute TV show.
This has only been happening with 0.5.3. Not sure what the issue is.


When I use IceFilms on my laptop sometimes it stops loading, do you think that might be the issue, and instead of buffering it just kicks out?
I usually start the stream then pause and see the progress bar fill up before I start watching. Any way we can see the percentage of how much the file is loaded?

thats the thing, currently the addon just streams the file straight into xbmc's player.

what would be much better is to use some of my own code to have the addon handle the download, saving the file to a folder, and then give the path of that file to xbmc's player to play, with the addon still handling the download in the background.

this would likely add seek forward & backward, and would likely get rid of the errors you're experiencing. also it would enable a save file feature, and multiple part handling. this would also add a way to show percentage loaded.

edit: introducing the features mentioned above would probably get rid of it. for now i suggest you dont leave it paused for too long..

After installing 0.6.0, I'm getting "Script Failed" with this in the log:

forgot to say everyone, i recommend for 0.6.x that you reinstall your entire xbmc.
(including deleting your cached data and addons directory. you need a totally fresh install)
this is if you want the new fanart/icon and for 0.6.x to work smoothly.

this is currently the only simple way for for you to make it work.

for advanced users, there is an alternative method
in userdata/addon_data delete plugin.video.icefilms
in addons/ delete plugin.video.icefilms
now install from repository.
check if script.module.mechanize exists in addons directory, if it isnt, follow these instructions.
to get the new fanart/main icon, you still need to install the plugin to a fresh install of xbmc.

this is a one off, something you will never have to do again in the future.

I only did two things... delete the addon folder and its corresponding in the userdata folder as you mentioned, and yet with 0.6.1, I still get the same error as richard's...
