[REQUEST] Crunchyroll.com Plugin with External Browser Player - happywillow0 - 2011-12-28 Note: see bottom section for overview of entire post... Ever since discovering XBMC and playing around with it all, I have loved it and all the plugins that are available. However, I do not know how to program python and create my own plugin thus I put this request out for the XBMC community in hopes that someone can pick up this project. There have been discussions on CrunchyRoll.com before here on the forums but due to the fact that they are one of the major legal streaming sites and the security that comes from that, major roadblock that I have seen is subtitle encryption which is vital for watching foreign language videos. -- Overview: Load Crunchyroll popup player using external browser player as defined by playercorefactory.xml -- Details of I have been thinking and what I want to do or see happen: XBMC CrunchyRoll Plugin 1) Scrape Available Series from Crunchyroll.com http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime/alpha is the alphabetical listing of all Anime series. Similar links can be found for Drama. 2) Somehow send a login through the login page for Premium users for 720p / 420p streams. http://www.crunchyroll.com/login 3) Combine scrapped info with TV info scrappers such as The Anime News Network for pictures and info or just something like that. Or if possible, to take the info and pictures right off the website. The major difference: 4) Similar to how XBMC Flicks (Netflix), we can load up the video itself in an external browser player (IE, FF, etc.) My question is how come we haven't been able to just utilize the Flash player that they already use to stream the vidoes and subtiles over. Each video has a unique media ID that is associated with it. That ID is also part of the URL which is also very convenient. With the ID, we can load custom urls with the features that crunchyroll already has. Here is an example as I somehow find this easier to explain: Quote:Hunter X Hunter 12 All that is left is to utilize the built in key commands Code: Keyboard Shortcuts Um... after that long and probably convoluted way of putting everything,
If someone has any suggestions, questions feel free to reply and if someone can take this on, THANK YOU! -Will - cyberwizzard - 2012-01-22 See http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=83795 Plugin is working and if you are a paying member, you can also view the high def streams. |
