[RELEASE] VODie - Video On Demand Ireland - RTE, TV3 and TG4

lanre Wrote:i just put that as an issue on his googlecode page.

still loving the plugin!

Slatri asked me to take a look at this so i did and i attached a patch to the issue which turns magnet into aer and also makes aer live streams work even if you are not in ireland.

while you are waiting for the official addon to be updated, you can replace your plugin.video.vodie/resources/lib/MagnetWebTvScrapper.py with this one.

hope that helps,

This VODie plugin is really nice, thanks to the original developer.

I also have the TV3 issue.

OK, so first time poking about with the innards of an XBMC plugin and so forth, and probably not the cleanest solution, but the following makes this almost work:

in TV3Scrapper.py, in function getEpisodes(), change

to


that is, add in the single line which strips out the incorrect "http://tv3.ie/" which is being passed in to the episode finder.

Have not even readthe XBMC plugin docs yet, so don't have the foggiest where the regex or call or whatever is which is fetching the showID. Because it would probably be cleaner to fix it there.

This makes quite a few shows work properly ... have not tried them all ...

Many thanks for this Liam. My Mum can watch Coronation Street and Emmerdale again!

Gotta keep those mums happy

        # HACK: temp correct the showID
        showID = showID.replace('http://tv3.ie/','')

nice, if you do want to do it the regex way it looks like line 95 is the thing to change: maybe to something like instead. this seems to work ok for me (and outside ireland too!)

Okey dokey

Will take a gander to understand a bit better what the plugin is doing.

Regex'es always strike me as closer to what you'd get by randomly bashing a keyboard with your head than actual code though. And so generally to be avoided if possible

Is anyone having an issue with programmes on the RTE section? Any programmes in two "halves" cause problems for me. It keeps skipping onto the second "half". It drives me mad. I never had the issue with TV3 content so it seems to be RTE only.

I just checked and the second "half" skips to the end as well. Can't really watch any RTE stuff then.

yeah i know the feeling, i hated regex until i started writing xbmc addons and was forced to actually learn a bit

Thanks to t0mm0 and liamf for all there hard work.

Delighted with both of these fixes - Thanks guys.
