Updated surfthechannel.com plugin - rapmv78 - 2007-12-30

After fiddling around with the old plugin a bit, I have successfully been able to
modify the plugin to work with the current layout of surfthechannel.com.

Also there are some additional features/improvements:
1) When getting episode list for a particular show, it does not open up each
show to get the video link. This trips the surfthechannel.com spider. Instead
there is one more level added to get to the actual video links.
2) Support for Alternate URLs and if an episode has multiple parts, support for
it as well.
3) Added support for movies and other categories from surfthechannel.com

One thing you may notice lacking is that there are no descriptions for
episodes and no good thumbnails.

Have been able to do limited testing on it with my xbox and seems to work fine.
Uploaded the modified default.py script and joox.plx file as a tar ball at

Enjoy!!

Awesome, i was able to view a few shows, with no problems.

However, it seams to not be able to parse series with many episodes. I.E. - Star Trek - TNG, errored out with an Ascii decode error. I'll see if i can post it for you.

Also when i tried to browse Scrubs, it only showed the first 144 episodes.

Thanks again for reviving my favorite plugin.


Consecutive Failure error - veemann - 2007-12-30

I'm getting a lot of these mainly in the Sports area. Everywhere else seems to load and play well. Don't know if it has anything to do with the update. Can go drill down fine until it goes to play.

Thanks,

V

This updated script should fix the ascii error.

Error

Error Running script

reason:
[erno 2] no such file or directory : 'Q:\\plugins\\video\stc\\home.dat"

any ideas?

Thanks

The same happens to me:


Error Running script

reason:
[erno 2] no such file or directory : 'Q:\\plugins\\video\stc\\home.dat"

hopefully we can get this resolved and get this great plugin working


- rwparris2 - 2008-01-08

ok, easy fix:

open notepad and type "joox.plx". save this file as home.dat in your surfthechannel folder.

or, copy and paste home.dat from the joox plugin folder to your stc one.

brilliant works like a champ now!

thanks for the find

I've been able to find very few shows using this. Anyone else having issues? Im able to see the show list and the episode lists, but when i go into the episode i want, i dont see the video link.


- pajretX - 2008-01-09

same problem here Sad I just tried to play some random stuff, checked about 10-25 different folders in all categories and I couldn't find any link

Regards,

Anyone else havin this issue or know a fixHuh


- TheBoxMan - 2008-01-10

Thanks for the update - much appreciated ;-)

I've transferred it and began playing around.

I've not managed to get any of the streams to work... Undecided

Menus are all loading fine, scrubs i was also getting 144 episodes loading.

final folders were always empty. I tested about six different serieses and a few episodes per series (24, alias, another couple, and scrubs) without success on the episodes I tried).

Perhaps the site structure has been subtly changed??


- pajretX - 2008-01-10

I've checked the website and for some reason it does not work as well. They changed something, obviously. The only file I managed to play was /movies/1408 but that was after I had to type in a security code from the picture. Nothing else worked.

Regards,

This worked just fine for me.
Thanks.

they've added image verification?

Might be because your IP address tripped some kind of spider filter on the Xbox?
