See this thread for V1.0 or higher (aka SportsDevil)


I made two config files for VideoDevil that parse the content of MyP2P, LiveTV.ru and Goalsarena.org.

Currently supported streams:
  • Sopcast (must be handled by external player)
  • MMS
  • VLC
  • ZoneIn
  • Meevos
  • SeeOn
  • Veemi
  • Veetle (only if channel can be played with t0mm0's veetle addon)
  • CastAMP
  • WiiCast
  • RaySon
  • TVope
  • YouTube (needs YouTube Addon)
  • Videa.hu
  • Aliez
  • RuTube.ru
  • NBA.com
  • YaTV.ru
  • Dailymotion

What you need:
1. Save these files in addons\plugin.video.VideoDevil\resources :
highlights.cfg
livesports.cfg

2. Add entry in sites.list
Code:
title=Live Sports
type=rss
genre=Live Sports
director=SportsDevil
icon=
url=livesports.cfg
########################################################
title=Highlights
type=rss
genre=Highlights
director=SportsDevil
icon=
url=highlights.cfg

(Windows only, optional) 3. For playing Sopcast links (e.g. sop://broker.sopcast.com:3912/12345) you need to define an external player for the sop-protocol. As soon as you have installed SopFilter you can use these links in all DirectShow video players such as MPC-HC. Also remember to set playertype=auto in VideoDevil's plugin settings.
External Players can be defined in userdata\playercorefactory.xml.

Example:
Code:
<playercorefactory>
<players>
   <player name="MPC-HC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
     <filename>C:\Programme\MPC HomeCinema\mpc-hc.exe</filename>
     <args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args>
     <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
     <hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
     <warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
   </player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
   <rule protocols="sop" player="MPC-HC"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

hi maxmusterman, we're working on a new project called Videofalcon, which will be based on videodevil/videomonkey but new and improved, and designed for proper content.

when its released, we would love you to make this config file for it.

Of course I will port it to Videofalcon. Will there be a proper documentation this time? I spent 2 days with VideoDevil to understand the basics of the config files, just by looking into youtube.com.cfg and other examples. Very frustrating sometimes... I still don't know how to make custom directories and subdirectories that do not correspond to any link on the website. Is there a way to exclude empty folders? This means that the python script has to check whether there is some content in these folders or not.

I made another config file with a list of sopcast-channels (external player needed). Save as sopcast.cfg:

Code:
########################################################
# Sopcast VideoPortal
########################################################
start=http://www.livefootballtvs.com/sopcast-channel-list.html
########################################################  
# Videos
########################################################
item_infos=<td><strong><a href="[^"]+">([^<]+)</a></strong></td>[^<]*<td>([^<]+)</td>
item_order=title|url
item_info_name=type
item_info_build=direct.video
item_info_name=icon
item_info_build=category.png
item_url_build=%s

entry in sites.list:
Code:
########################################################
title=Sopcast Channels
type=rss
genre=Sopcast Channels
director=VideoDevil
icon=video.devil.image|sopcast.jpg
url=sopcast.cfg
########################################################

Maybe someone could help me with some streams, e.g. ustream.tv, justin.tv and veetle. At the moment only veetle links like http://veetle.com/index.php/channel/view#CHANNELID can be played. I call the veetle addon with plugin://plugin.video.veetle/?play=CHANNELID and it works to my surprise Smile

glad it is useful Wink

it only works with channels that have flash streams at the moment - still trying to figure out the 'hd' streams......
