I usually do, it's just that 110 pages is far too much to read for one question Tongue

I am seeing an issue with only some of the shows on ABC.com. Suddenly I am getting the following error in the log:

Code:
ERROR: Error Contents: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '398.381'

Here is the whole log entry:

Anybody else having issues with all content from History Channel?


RE: [RELEASE] Free Cable - US station aggregator - atv2jber - 2012-12-17

Is there a problem with the bluecop repo? All add-ons that I try to install from bluecop fail. I'm on Frodo Beta 3. This worked a few days ago just fine.

Thanks.

Hello all,

New to the forums, registered to post in this thread with a few questions.

1. I'm getting quite a few bug reports and plugin failures, but don't worry I'm not upset. If it's helpful/relevant to upload log files of these errors to assist developers, I'd like to be pointed in where to do that. If that doesn't exist, forget I asked and I'll just wait for this already spectacular plugin to improve.

2. I GET that this can't be that illegal, as it is simply an aggregator for existing freely available content, but guys, some of it just doesn't make sense. Like, Spiderman the Animated series through the Marvel channel? I understand that marvel might be hosting it, but like...why is it free?!?! Do they have ads and such on the website that we're bypassing with this? I'm genuinely curious to know how this is possible and freely available, because it really has changed the scape of my finances now that I'm able to completely drop cable.

1. Logs are welcomed. copy the text and post it to pastebin then link it here to save some space.

2. as far as I know they are legal. He is pulling it straight from the providers website. The content is there for you to view, head over to the website and see for yourself. All he is doing is scraping the web site, finding the video files and displaying them as links within XBMC.

If you like this add on so much, take a look at his Hulu add on. Bluecop really brings some great content to the XBMC experience. And all his content come straight from the providers, nothing fishy here Smile

Also, make sure you are using the latest RTMP, it might fix some of the issues you are seeing. This link will help you on your way. Keep a copy of your original just in case you see worse results, better safe than sorry Smile

bluecop fixed it last week but it seems to have been broken again for some reason

RE: [RELEASE] Free Cable - US station aggregator - sglavach - 2012-12-24

Was working yesterday... today it loads up the list of stations but does not focus on an entry for navigation (No selection bar). All you can do is exit out.

Here is the debug log: http://pastebin.com/Cher70yW

Thanks!
