[Release] XonX - Utilise a central XBMC library

Here is my log

http://pastebin.com/i7ryWCF2

Where is the log on the Ipad ?

i too am getting the script error message when i try to select TV, movies will work though. also i had to disable the authentication on the server and plugin because it would not authenticate with no authentication it will work with movies only. i also confirm that i am unable to seek with the arrow keys.

sb206 - Sorry for the late reply - I thought I had subscribed to the thread - but looks like I didn't.. Anyway - I've fixed that issue and hopefully it will work for you on TV shows now.

Can't help with the iPad - i've not run XBMC on any iOS stuff so have no idea where it might be.

Labtopia:Of your 3 issues:
1. Fixed (as above, same issue as sb206)
2. Authentication is now added, although you will lose fanart for some reason. Need to dig into that one.
3. Seeking works for smb/samba but not for http delivered files. I think (from a post by topfs2, that this is a limitation of XBMC. Need to check and file a bug for it).

New release - 0.3.4.
Fixes some issues with TV shows
Adds support for XBMC authentication

thanks for the fast reply, i've checked it out and now TV will resolve without error now. however i am unable to play media with authentication enabled. if i remove authentication i can play both tv and movies. i get a xbmc 'an error occured playing file" when authentication is enabled.

also from what i gathered from the posts, i should be seeing database episode data when using the plugin and also wee 'watched' flags? right now i see only LIST views and the thumbnail and no textual data. i am also unable to select LIBRARY MODE from the left tabs when using the plugin.

should these types of things be functioning? if so what might be configured wrong? if not how is this plug different from upnp sharing within xbmc?

thanks again for the quick fix, looking to use this as a simpler approach to settinng up sql databases and what not.

D'oh - I can see what i've done!! Integrating authentication is fairly complicated as I need to add extra data to all the XBMC calls - and I've missed one.. I'll fix this later day.

As for the library mode - then you should be seeing this. However, if you are using 10.X (rather than a pre-11 build) then you will have to scan in a single item to the clients library to activate library mode. It's an XBMC limitation

This has been altered in pre-11, so that library views are available without needing to have an actual library on the client.

This is definately a simplier approach to library sharing, although you'll need to bear with me as not all the required functions are available in XBMC yet to complete this..

Whatever you are missing from json-rpc please let us know start tickets with as much info as possible and cc me or Montellese and we will take a look at it

The idea of having this kind of an addon is great so will for sure help you as much as possible.

Cheers,
Tobias

topfs2: Thanks - it's one of thpose things I keep meaning to get around to - but then something else pops up. I'll set aside some time to do this today.

hi hippojay, thanks for the tweeks, i put the current may1 client on and now it is showing me the missing 'hide watched' and is also alowing me the different media 1 and 2 views that were missing, also it is showing the show data descriptions. this is great!

here is what it still doesnt do
1. http streaming skip forward adn bak, (known issue) would be great to fix this
2. if hide watched is not selected there are no checks next to watched shows.

i will try to set the smb option and see if that does something else for skiping, whould i then have to mount the volume or something?

also another question is: what does the 'additional servers' option do in your plugin config?

this is right now very good way to EASILY share without using sqldb. for me if only the ARROW KEY skip forward and back could work with http, then it is perfect and should definitely be included in the XBMC repository for addins!

thanks!
