[RELEASE] Tool-assisted Speedruns (Video) Plugin
#1
Thumbs Up 
Hello,

I have worked in collaboration with Nach and HannaK to create an Addon (Video Plugin) of the content residing on http://www.tasvideos.org/ and make it available within XBMC. We finally phased out of beta phase and it is now ready for your consumption Smile

Addon Description

If you’ve ever wanted to see how a superhuman would beat your favorite video games, you’ve come to the right place. We have videos of all the popular franchises from Super Mario Brothers and Sonic the Hedgehog down to Pokémon and Final Fantasy. No matter what genre of game you prefer, be it sports, puzzle, adventure, shooter, or popular game shows, we have it all.

TAS Game Video Addon brings you the content of http://www.tasvideos.org/ straight to your Media Center.

Addon Functionality

- Latest Videos
Shows the latest videos from the Site.

- Notables
Lets you view recommended, top rated and award winning TAS Videos.

- Browsing By System
You can select any System available containing TAS Videos and browse them.

- Sorting
The Addon allows you to sort in all content folders the following methods:
-- Name
-- Date
-- Rating
-- Genre
-- Time (Duration)

- Download
You can just right click (Context Menu) any video and download it.

- Technical Information
The Addon uses its own caching system for both the feeds and the thumbnail images. Feeds can be refreshed from hourly to daily. Images are cached in the same manner, but allow for a monthly to yearly refresh. Both, Feeds and Images also allow for Never refreshing them. This is very useful for Images as they barely change at all.

I have worked on this since a while in collaboration with HannaK/Nach.
It is compatible with Windows and Linux.

Any feedback is of course appreciated.

Thanks!

I Updated the addon to version 1.0.2 which incorporates the following changes:

- Fixed: Crash on using any other language that was supported by the addon.
- Added: German and French translation
- Updated: Inner workings of language string retrieval
- Updated: Cleaned up functions in common.py
- Updated: Spanish Translation has been tweaked.
- Updated: Changelog.txt now follows a standard.


This version is the spiritual "1.0" where everything works as intended (hopefully) Smile
It should be out in the following 48 hours for your updating pleasure.

And Updated to 1.0.3

- Updated: Changed name from Tool-assisted Speedruns to Tool-assisted Superplays (on behalf of http://tasvideos.org/'s request)
- Updated: Changed main Icon (thanks to Freezy!)

Hello,

While I do not influence on how XBMC decodes video streams, I will be forwarding this issue to the team.

I can sadly not update the addon fixing this, as I am not involved in the video playback.

I will keep you posted Smile

Any planned updates for this plugin?

At the moment i plan on changing a few internal things in the code, but feature-wise it is complete. That is of course unless there are bugs or feature suggestions.

What would you like me to add?

Honestly, I was just curious if you had any bigger updates in mind, like including other sites (although I know others probably don't have an API to access them).

Plus, gave me an excuse to bump this to get more attention.

Does the "Browse by System" option work in Dharma 10.0 for you?

In windows, yes - have not tried linux.
Which OS are you running?

And sorry for the late response, just got back from new years party/recovering from it Smile

it works fine for me in dharma live, so this is not os related.

I get the same blocky / weird looking video with VDPAU with one video I tried.
Code:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `xbmc_%`.* TO 'xbmc'@'%';
IF you have a mysql problem, find one of the 4 dozen threads already open.
