Hi Bluecop,

As always, thanks for the updates. Nickelodeon wasn't working for me so I dug into it and making a change to this line in the nick.py seems to fix nick (for me at least):

change this line (2nd last line of the script):
uri=re.compile('uri:"(.+?)",').findall(data)[0]

to this:
uri=re.compile('NICK.unlock.uri = \'(.+?)\'').findall(data)[0]

I am not sure what part of the log you where needing. I have no problems with
hulu. and if it is the librtmp i keep updating it with ones for linux that say they
are fixed, but when i test links with rtmpdump i get handshake issues.

Pastebin

edit: I can rip the videos directly to hdd using rtmpdump without any problems
with handshake now.. but the issue still continues with given channels in xbmc.

like I said before. be specific and post logs to pastebin. that snippet is just loading imports. it has nothing relevant.
i can almost guarantee that joes librtmp isn't updated but I don't have lgs to confirm it.

I'm having a problem with NBC, at least I think it's only NBC. It seems to pop up when I try to watch multiple episodes of one show, although I've had it occur from the get go as well. I get a script error and in the logs see the following:

21:57:38 T:2132 ERROR: Error Contents: mysqli::mysqli(): (00000/1129): Host 'useclpwsl621' is blocked because of many connection errors; unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts'

Full log file can be seen here: http://pastebin.com/R8sFy6ke

I'm running the latest version of Eden on Windows 7.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Just a request...

Was wondering if Crackle.com could be added to FreeCable?

I know someone is going to say there is already a working Crackle plugin...well, it doesn't work, and to my knowledge, it hasn't been updated in quite a while. That plugin apparently only scrapes the movies section of the website. It doesn't matter which section you choose, you end up seeing just the movies.

There are a lot of great shows plus movies on that site...should be easy to add since the current version seems to just need a mere update...

Thanks BlueCop for all of your hard work! I absolutely love your plugins! You make XBMC for me!


RE: [RELEASE] Free Cable - US station aggregator - oligolli - 2012-03-29

NBC seems to be working again now. Many thanks Bluecop.


RE: [RELEASE] Free Cable - US station aggregator - Jamhandman - 2012-03-30

The plugin is great, I can now watch Star Trek TOS with out the new graphics thanks for the CBS feed.

Good stuff.




RE: [RELEASE] Free Cable - US station aggregator - mgarbell - 2012-04-01

Still seem to be having the same problem with NBC. It's intermittent, but when I get the error, it seems to happen for any show.

Just wondering , for the food network, is it Geo/region restricted?
I could not get that working.


RE: [RELEASE] Free Cable - US station aggregator - mrdally204 - 2012-04-01

ailingcoot,
I do not know the answer to that question but leads me to an idea.

If you are outside the US and know for a fact a station is/not GEO locked, tell us about it. We can comprise a list and ask Bluecop to add it to opening post. That way we can easily access and point to the answer. Thoughts?

Actually, the issues are with the US VPN turned on, users out of the states are able to watch Hulu(this one was geo locked as well?) However, with the US VPN turned on, users are only able to see the lists and thumbnails of food network in the free cable plugin but not able to watch the stream.

That makes me wonder what's the difference and any chance to make that happen like hulu?

I just updated my ATV2 to Eden Final and FreeCable is not working anymore. ABC always played and now I get the "working" message for a long time and then it either goes back to the menu or return a (in spanish) message saying "too many failed attempts, check log".

This is part of the log:

Hi,

I just installed XBMC and Free Cable on my Windows 7 laptop. I get a script error navigating to some directories within the Free Cable (i.e. CBS/Primetime/Survivor/Full Episodes). I'm also seeing this with the Hulu plugin as well.

Please see below for my log:

RE: [RELEASE] Free Cable - US station aggregator - jc_yang1 - 2012-04-06

I just reinstalled XBMC - all working now! Apparently, I didn't have Eden installed primarily.




RE: [RELEASE] Free Cable - US station aggregator - kpeters59 - 2012-04-07

This plugin is great! Best one I know of. Thanks!

Except I can't watch Tiger blow up at The Masters Golf Tournament!

The coverage is goofy this year and everything but the last few pairings is streaming from www.cbssports.com and neither my Boxee nor my Roku can find it.

You are my only hope Obi-Wan Kenobi...

Thanks for the consideration.

-KP

Edit:

I guess while I'm at it, I should ask: If stations do get added/changed, will I need to re-install the latest Plug-In file, or does that automatically refresh/update?
