[RELEASE] crackle.com

Awesome, thanks for the link. At least I know it's not the plug-in, so won't need to waste time chasing that.

I will try the other stuff as soon as I get back to my ATV

Thanks again

Tried out the script today. Works great! Thanks.

Works great on the latest Apple TV 2 build - thanks!

After installing the nightly build, I'm up and running. Thanks

How did you get the nightly build? Did you just unistall then reinstall the plugin from the video addon repo?

I am having the same issue. When I go to watch a video I get through the selection menu's then it crashes before the video plays.

I got it working by installing a nightly build.

One feature I would like is to be able to read the movie / show description to see what it is about.

yeah, finding a way of getting all the information from the site without loading a huge amount of pages (an thus slowing it down even more) is a problem. but i might have another go sometime.

It looks like the code is in place for it but maybe the regex is not picking up the plot in get_videos in crackle.py?

maybe i'm not understanding what you mean?

i just tried a load of random movies and tv shows and all of them showed the movie description along with other info like mpaa rating and director where available. to see this press 'i' or choose movie information from the context menu (this is grabbed by the code you mention in get_videos).

what i don't currently scrape is the information at the menu level above that (the show) because the page i scrape for that (for example) doesn't have the info on it. it would require another page grab for each show. i already do this at the video level (grab a separate page for each video) but i thought that adding it during the navigation would probably slow it down too much (especially if you are not in the US and use the proxy setting like me!) and there are normally less results in the video lists than the show lists. crackle has loads of different ways of accessing it's data - at least iphone app, chrome app and web site so there may be better pages somewhere that i could scrape from - let me know if you come across any!

does that make sense?

thanks,

Yes makes sense. On the ATV2 I don't see any of the mpaa rating or description. All I see is the title and the image of the video.

I used Seas0nPass to jailbreak my ATV2 and it auto installed xbmc on it. I then ssh'ed in and installed your plugin repo and installed crackle from there. I would check the logs to see what is going on but I don't know where they are. Everyone is saying they are in the frontrow users logs directory but I don't have a frontrow user... atleast the /etc/passwd doesn't show one.

Am I missing something?
