Thanks for the feedback.
Where does the slowdown occur? Loading lists or loading videos? I have an idea that it may be slowing down when trying to find if a string exists in the page before playing the video, and I can try changing this if the slowdown is at that time.

It happens when playing videos. Videos are playing little slower than usual and looping (it plays few seconds of the video, then it plays that part again. After that another few seconds and again loop)

OK - the script error notification was due to it serving a video host that the script doesn't handle (yet). Known issue there.
As for the lag, I'm not sure what I can change on the code. The video link is being served up fine, and from the debug log it looks like the video keeps getting a buffer underrun. That makes me think it's just not being downloaded fast enough. These videos are about 110mb streaming for each episode - can your connection support that? I know you've said you've used other plugins, I'm just wondering if they were maybe a lower bitrate.
Maybe someone with more experience than myself may be able to find out something from the logs as well.

I have 20/20 connection, but my HTPC is connected via wifi network, so it's chance that something is wrong there. I will try connecting it to cable and see it.
Thanks for suggestions.

I have connected XBMC computer via cable and it works great. It seems i need to do something to improve my wireless connection.
Thanks for your help.
EDIT: even at cable it still loads video forever and you can't skip video either. But OK, at least i know why video didn't worked.

Does this work with new Dharma releases as an Add-On?

Please explain how to install?
I tried 'installing from zip file' and nothing happened.

@matejdro: I think that's just a limitation of the server it's streaming from. Skipping is slow because they cap download speeds.
@Eldorado: No, it's not ready for Dharma yet. I plan on converting to it to an add on though for Dharma. I will post an update in this topic when it's ready, so feel free to subscribe here for email notifications.
@garyi: If you're using XBMC Camelot version or earlier, download the files through github, and unzip them into /usr/plugins/video/South Park. Then XBMC will recognize the folder and add an entry called 'South Park' when you go to Videos -> Plugins in whatever skin you're using.
