Thanks for that. I got the show directories back, but now I can't get into them. I keep getting a script failed error.

Here's my log file if you want to take a look: http://pastebin.com/dc7WCC0p .

Thanks again for any help you can give. I subscribe to Maddow's podcast, so that's not a big deal. But I love Chris Hayes' show and I hate missing it!

I don't know if it makes a difference but I did uninstall MSNBC plug-in and reinstall it after downloading this:

https://github.com/daledude/xbmc-reposit...ideo.msnbc

Then I modified and replaced the default.py that came with it. That's about all I can offer. Sorry.

[xbmcjas]

Thanks for the advice. It didn't work, though. I'll try to tinker around with it this weekend. If it's working for you, then it must be something wrong on my machine.

If anyone else has any ideas, let me know!

[xbmcjas]

Alright, so I tried playing around with this and just didn't know what to do. So I'm bumping this in case someone else with a little more expertise knows how to get this thing working again.

*bumpity bump bump*

[stormcel]

Yes, bumpity bumpity

It was working ( without folders for individual shows )
and I became quite addicted to it, now I get 'script failed" and no show list at all
:-(

I really really really get use out of this thing and would love to get it working correctly.
I am prepared to donate time, effort and money to the cause.

I'm thinking that it stopped working because MSNBC is playing around with their servers and whatnot to get ready for the new site.

MSNBC is launching a new website later this month that'll have the option to watch full episodes and even a live stream of the network to anyone who has a cable subscription... you'll have to log in with your Comcast/TWC/whatever info and then you can watch. I'm hoping, PRAYING, that someone will code an addon that will take advantage of that. I can log in with my parents' info. It would be amazing.

I just hope they don't cancel the Maddow show podcast because of this!

I have the original one i thought i put a download link for it version 0.0.4 it shows episodes

[xbmcjas]

You did. I could get it to display the show folders ("The Last Word," "The Rachel Maddow Show," etc.), but I couldn't get into the folders themselves. it gave me a script error. If it's still working for you, then I'd love to know more about your setup. I'm running Frodo on Win8. I tried everything I could think of to get it to work and nothing helped.

I just went through the installation and changed the docid again, and I got it to display the show titles, but it gives me a script error when I try to click on them. Here's my log file if you're interested.

Unfortunately with the new website the XML file which had the master directory (35879397) points to old folders and I can't find the master directory for the new website. But here are some show sub directories (note I haven't checked them all but they are from the name= variable. Again you have to change the docid = self.args['docid'] = 'X' where X is the number below) Kind of a pain in the butt until I find the master directory but it's all I have for now:

18424787 Morning joe
26548304 Maddow
51362794 All in
44263878 PoliticsNation
53113359 Up Late with Alec Baldwin
30012522 The Ed Show
41894607 Martin Bashir
47905980 The Cycle
38244200 NewsNation
45258737 NOW
34510812 Andrea Mitchell
51678361 Thomas Roberts
41894601 Jansing and Co
34419168 Daily Rundown
52199227 Disrupt
18424736 Hardball

[stormcel]

ok
I'm liking that the workaround works
Now
I don't know python....is there a way for us to just generate this docid list as you have presented it, as a list of options?
I mean if I can manually ssh to my box and change the docid and it works, why then can't I just have a list of docid's to choose from with a 'friendly name' title to click on?
Right now I am using your workaround in the following manner:

Code:

def action_browse(self):
        docid = self.args.get('docid', None)
        if not docid:
            docid = self.args['docid'] = '3096433' #HomePage
#            docid = self.args['docid'] = '18424787' #Morning Joe
#            docid = self.args['docid'] = '26548304' #Rachel Maddow
#            docid = self.args['docid'] = '51362794' #All In -w- Chris Hayes
#            docid = self.args['docid'] = '44263878' #PoliticsNation
#            docid = self.args['docid'] = '53113359' #Up Late with Alec Baldwin
#            docid = self.args['docid'] = '30012522' #The Ed Show
#            docid = self.args['docid'] = '41894607' #Martin Bashir
#            docid = self.args['docid'] = '47905980' #The Cycle
#            docid = self.args['docid'] = '38244200' #NewsNation
#            docid = self.args['docid'] = '45258737' #NOW
#            docid = self.args['docid'] = '18424736' #Hardball
#            docid = self.args['docid'] = '52199227' #Disrupt

I just uncomment the line for the show I want and then save.
It seems I should be able to generate this list on my player and then choose.....but as I said, I'm a python tard.

By the way, if you want a livestream for MSNBC (which works with the Livestream plug-in) This is the code you need to put in XBMC-Streams.xml:

<item>
<title>MSNBC*</title>
<link>rtmp://d.cdn.livenewschat.eu/edge playpath=msnbc_live swfUrl=http://msnbclive.eu/player.swf pageUrl=http://www.livenewschat.tv/politics/ live=true<link>
<thumbnail>http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/new-msnbc-logo-781050.gif</thumbnail>
</item>

I also have CNBC, ESPN, Bloomberg, HLN, CNN US & Intnl. If you need those codes let me know.
