everyone,
i'm happy to post my wip now, i've got everything working bar genres.  this version of the script is based off the script i previously released on xbmc.org which was based on the version which alex solex released prior to that (i could go all the way back to the original author but i won't (kudos to bogorman)) .
if you don't already have alex solex's ifilm browser ii script get it from:
http://xbmc.free.fr/python/ifilmbrowserii.rar
^ the ifilmbrowse2.py file won't work on it's own, it's now two updates old, but it is what my fix script uses for it's graphics (the skin).

you'll need my script which can be downloaded from:
http://www.konsolenumbau.at/ceomr/files/...mv-wip.zip
big thanks to ceomr for hosting it too :agree: .
to get it working you'll need to extract and place my python script file into the scripts folder that ifilmbrowse2.py is in (not the ifilmbrowser folder which contains all the graphics).

i would have like to have got genres working but for all i know ifilm will change their website again tomorrow (mutter mutter). :veryangry:
the other thing is viral now gives you a synopsis which was actually unintentional, but kinda cool because half the time you don't know what you're looking at on viral.
so no point pulling an all nighter leep:
if i get time during the week i'll probably take a crack at getting genres going, and tidy things up a bit.  :thumbsup:

p.s ceomr has put the script in with a different background it can be downloaded from:
http://www.konsolenumbau.at/ceomr/files/...rowser.rar
it won't have alex's project mahem ii themed backgrounds though however, probably a good thing it's all in one package however.

excellent work avatar!!

it works a treat as i wasnt getting any videos coming up in the lists. this stuff has made me want to get back into programming!!! i used to program blitz basic on the amigas years ago, but looking through the scripts, its all coming back to me!!

again, nice work.

works great for me and my wife (who now loves the xbox for the ifilmbrowser, thus will love me for providing it).

don't know what to tell you...does the kmlbrowser and the apple trailer scripts work?

you've made sure to have the ifilmbrowser sub directory within the /scripts directory? none of the capitalizations of the sub directory "ifilmbrowser" missing? all the artwork there in the sub directory?

right version of xbmc? needs to be no more than a week or so old i think.

it works just fine. download both files and put the first in your script folder. then put the second .py file(avatars own) in with the first so that both .py files are together, then start by selecting avatars fixed script.

heheh
yep, my wife has suddenly took an interest in my xbox when she noticed me flicking through launch.coms music vids. its amazing what you can get out of the old box with a bit of reading up and messing about.

do what gmackenz told you and alteredinertia and it should all work fine, it's exactly what i would have said, thanks guys.
yeah my mrs doesn't mind me tinkering with the ifilm browser because she loves it too.
alteredinertia i've got a link to the page that i found most helpful in understanding the python command which grabs stuff from html.
http://docs.python.org/lib/re-syntax.html
knowledge in how html is written helps too but python is reasonably logical other than that, it is semi object oriented too so you may find it a little different to what you've done before but there's some good tutorials on object oriented programming. there's a few other docs off that python.org page that are good too. but that link was what was most useful to me in going from a c++ background to python.
