[WIP] MLB.TV Boxee App port (developers needed!)

divingmule · 2011-03-22 05:19

I'm not really sure about adding this to the api or the names I've chosen. Here is what I've done so far.

Code:

import urllib2,urllib

from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulStoneSoup

#file = 'C://boxee-library.xml'

url='http://dir.boxee.tv/apps/mlb/feed/2011/07'

req = urllib2.Request(url)

#response = open(file, 'rb')

response = urllib2.urlopen(req)

link=response.read()

response.close()

soup = BeautifulStoneSoup(link, convertEntities=BeautifulStoneSoup.XML_ENTITIES)

channel = soup.channel.title.string

channel_link = soup.channel.link.string

channel_description = soup.channel.description.string

try:

    channel_image = soup.channel.image.string

except:

    channel_image = ''

channel_language = soup.channel.language.string

try:

    channel_expiry = soup.channel('boxee:expiry')[0].string

except:

    channel_expiry = ''

items = soup('item')

for item in items:

    try:

        title = item.title.string

    except:

        title = ''

    try:

        link = item.link.string

    except:

        link = ''

    try:

        guid = item.guid.string

    except:

        guid = ''

    try:

        description = item.description.string

    except:

        description = ''

    try:

        custom_display = item('boxee:property',attrs={'name' : "custom:display"})[0].string

    except:

        custom_display = ''

    try:

        custom_myteam = item('boxee:property', attrs={'name' : "custom:myteam"})[0].string

    except:

        custom_myteam = ''

    try:

        thumbnail = item('media:thumbnail')[0]['url']

    except:

        thumbnail = ''

    try:

        genre = item('media:category', attrs={'scheme' : 'urn:boxee:genre'})[0].string

    except:

        genre = ''

    try:

        media_type = item('boxee:media-type')[0]['type']

    except:

        media_type = ''

    try:

        release_date = item('boxee:release-date')[0].string

    except:

        release_date = ''

    try:

        episode = item('media:category', attrs={'scheme' : "urn:boxee:episode"})[0].string

    except:

        episode = ''

    try:

        season = item('media:category', attrs={'scheme' : "urn:boxee:season"})[0].string

    except:

        season = ''

    try:

        media_url = item('media:content')[0]['url']

    except:

        media_url = ''

    try:

        media_duration = item('media:content')[0]['duration']

    except:

        media_duration = ''

    try:

        media_type = item('media:content')[0]['type']

    except:

        media_type = ''

    try:

        media_height = item('media:content')[0]['height']

    except:

        media_height = ''

    try:

        media_width = item('media:content')[0]['width']

    except:

        media_width = ''

    try:

        media_lang = item('media:content')[0]['lang']

    except:

        media_lang = ''

Hope this helps.

While I can't lend any expertise to this project, I'd definitely donate some money for coffee/beer as well to those who are working on it.

theophile · 2011-03-23 02:56

divingmule, that would be added to mc.py, correct?

And I've now set up this project on GitHub. I've used 'git pull' countless times, but never 'git push,' so hopefully I'll be able to learn as we go. Looking forward to seeing some commit requests!

divingmule · 2011-03-23 05:44

Yeah, from what bartsidee posted earlier, under the 'class Listmc'. I'm guessing something like this.

you have to make sure to pass the 'url' variable:

Code:

SetContentURL(url):

divingmule, have you gotten this to work?

Hi, I just installed the plugin ,was under the impression that I would haft to have a MLB account. Looks like I had some tabs mixed with spaces in setContentUrl. Fixed that and added the import beautifulsoup. The plugin starts but the buttons don't seem to work. From my log:

Code:

09:34 T:3556 M:2629337088   ERROR: ADDON::CSkinInfo::TranslateResolution invalid resolution specified for

09:34 T:3464 M:2629066752 WARNING: Skin has invalid include: Window_Fade_Animation

Here is the fixed mc.py - http://ubuntuone.com/p/jIk/

It would be fantastic to get this for the upcoming season!

Please keep this alive. I've been waiting for a working MLB.tv plugin for my XBMC XBox. I have no experience developing for XBMC though.

theophile · 2011-03-26 21:15

Updated the repo with the new mc.py from divingmule. I'm not sure whether the update is supposed to be noticeable, but there it is.

Divingmule, you'll probably need an MLB.TV account once we start working on the actual streams, but I don't think you need one for basic functionality of the schedule, calendar, and standings.

Does your mc.py get content to load for you?
