Hi,
joecooper84 requested here a video plugin to browse the great video website http://www.wimp.com with xbmc.
Insayne did one. Unfortunately wimp.com did (a few weeks ago?) some changes on the website to hide the stream url's and the addon got's broken. Because of Insayne seems to have other things to do at the moment I wanted to fix the addon - but instead fixing I decided to do a complete rewrite to get it easier adding new features. At the moment it is feature-identical besides that the new version includes archive-browsing, there is a "random video" function and now you can search videos by title.
Before pushing it as a (maybe temporarily?) replacement to the addon repo I would be very happy if some of you could test it and confirm, that it is working properly.
If you have ideas for new features or other comments, feel free to contact me.
The Addon is now available in the official xbmc.org addon Repository!
Sourcecode is on github.
Thanks to joecooper84 for the request, Insayne for the first versions, wimp.com for the great collection if videos and of course thanks to the authors of these videos
Update:
I have a new version ready.
This version uses the new wimp.com API so it will be much faster and there are THUMBNAILS now :-)
I would be happy if some if you could test it give me some feedback if everything works.
You can download version 2.0.0 here.
regards,
sphere
