hiya there

is it possible to have a cable/dsl login client in xbmc ?

it would be really neet to have this in as a my cable modem wont login to the net without a client program and username/password...and there's no network connected to my xbox....i just have an xbox and a cable modem

i have the sourcecode for the login client...how would some1 impliment this into xbmc? could i do it myself (it would take me a while to figure it all out tho...)...or would some1 be willing to show me how to insert the code and maybe a toggle on/off switch in the settings menu ...and have the username/password fields in the .xml ?

this is all guesswork for me..no programming experience...the main reason why i want this is to get shoutcast working again....but i have no way to login to the net

what about buying a router? that way you can have multiple network-enabled things using your cable modem.

yeah, this seems to much of a side-track project.

hmmm...well i actually have a router...but i bought it from the us and im in australia...so the login client doesnt work properly...
logs in for about 30mins then cuts out..due to heartbeat problem...do u know about heartbeats with cable?

i have the sourcecode for the login client...how would some1 impliment this into xbmc?

be great if you could implement pppoa yourself, but upload ther source code here (link) and maybe someone will/can look at it

[silentyl]

lol

i wouldnt know what pppoa means....

i've sent some sourcecode (written in c , under gpl) for the cable login client i use to access cable internet....maybe the xbmc can start an internet connection with this code...the webpage for this source is "bpalogin".....search on sourceforge.net

i realise most ppl would just network their internet connection to their xbox...but this would be really cool....even if you guys showed me how to impliment the code and i could "add" it when i figure out how to compile my own version of xbmc

[Gamester17]

pppoa (ppp over atm) = direct connection, to connect xbox to internet via a direct connection to broadband modem.
(the other ways to connect is either via a router or internet connection sharing (the later pppoe, see discussion here))

alternative projects to borrow source code for this could possible be:

i'm not a developer myself so i'm not sure how to integrate this or if above code is any good for this task

hiya all

i may have asked this before but is it possible to write a cable/dsl login client for python? i understand that python has been in xbmc for a while now ...and there is a bunch of scripts which i found for bittorrent, news feeds, tv guides etc here : http://www.gueux.net/xbmc-scripts/index.html

so im wondering if a login client is possible? would i just run the .py to make it work? can python be used that way? by putting in a user/password etc?

[kingroach]

i have a dsl connection that needs login before going to internet.( like dial up but only usename and password, no dialing number and others). is it possible to go to internet wih xbmc. i have verizon dsl( anyone here set upped verizon dsl with xbmc?).
thnx

[Hullebulle]

no, its not possible. dsl need the ppoe (point-to-point protocol over ethernet) protocol to work.
see these threads:

http://www.xboxmediaplayer.de/cgi-bin....l=pppoe
http://www.xboxmediaplayer.de/cgi-bin....l=pppoe

ps: please do a search before starting a new thread.

[kingroach]

thnx, as the other threads says msdash has ppoe support. i think it can be done with python scripts. i saw in gueux.net they created many python scrpits like bittorrent clinet and some little apps. most dsl uses ppoe to connect and usually needs login/pass and some cases service name.

[Metoden]

do as i did...buy a router

[kingroach]

well, thats the other way.lol

[Butcher]

we could easily add pppoe support... except none of the devs use pppoe so there's no way to test it.
