[RELEASE] The Escapist (Video) Plugin

Floppie · 2011-08-30 01:43

Hello all.

I apologize, to everyone who was enjoying this plugin, for the disappearing act - RL happened. I'm back on track now and I hope to work with Escapist support to get this thing back up and running. I for one am way behind on Zero Punctuation Smile

As of right now I have no truly useful updates (i.e. "it works!") - however I do have a theoretical idea of how I'm going to code it to make it work. Hopefully theory and practice will align pretty closely.

Great to hear that you're starting work on it again. I had been thinking about it the other day, wondering what had happened.

funny, i installed boxee yesterday, but im too lazy to configure the remote for it, i would love to watch zero punctuation from xbmc again Laugh

Great to hear it's back on track.
When I first discovered the plugin I was thrilled. I felt like my media centre was finally complete ... then my IP got banned from watching Escapist videos and the admins told me why.
I would love to get that back again if it's possible.

Still no word back from Escapist support Sad

Would it be too childish or annoying if multiple people sent support requests to show how much we would like this?
We could also start a poll on the site's forums, but I doubt that many users there have or even care about XBMC.

A poll on the site's forum might get us somewhere. The plugin had 7000 users at one point when I saw XBMC release some statistics, so if we can get a halfway decent percentage to vote "yes" it might speak volumes. I wouldn't send in shotgun support requests though Smile

I'm on my way out now so I'll get on it later today (or tomorrow).

Well I made the thread today.

Let me know if I neglected to add any important information.

Thanks - it looks solid. I'm watching the thread, but as the developer, I'm not planning on making any comments one way or the other.

Here's hoping this speaks to them. Maybe I'm one viewer in a million, but I don't have speakers hooked up to any of my machines except my XBMC box, so without this plugin, I don't watch any of the videos on the site. I miss some of them Smile
