Here's a terrible (but working!) plugin for On The Verge.
It works, it pulls the thumbnail, it even pulls the description, but that's probably not working correctly.

Please make it better, and I have to say thanks to the DIY network plugin, since it's that tweaked to pieces.

Hey thanks for making this! It's working really well. Like you said the descriptions aren't properly fetched. But that's no big deal, I'm sure someone can help out with that.
Cheers Smile
Thanks for the addon its working well. I know you just made this but would it be possible to scrap there website for all the product review videos?

ie there are mulitple videos on the review of the samsung galaxy nexus:
http://www.theverge.com/products/galaxy-nexus-lte/3604

Thats probably asking a lot. A starting point might be the recently added videos on the "http://www.theverge.com/products" page
Very Good way of commercial future...
That's a good idea, Charlie, since their video reviews are so much better than anyone else's. The problem is that right now I'm scraping their RSS feed, and they don't indicated whether something is a video review or not. Maybe I can scrape for the words "video review" or something along those lines. We'll see if I get time to mess with it.
Just wondering if anyone is still working on this? The Verge is already huge, they were the official sponsor of CES. They have a metric ton of video content, podcasts, reviews, hands on, monthly On the Verge Show. Would be cool if this addon got all of this content like the Engadget addon has.

Thanks.
I would like to have this add-on but the link is broken, can anyone upload it again?

Thanks!
The addon is broken so don't worry about the link.
FYI i couldn't get http://www.theverge.com/rss/label/video/index.xml to load in xbmc however. I did have success with

rss://feeds.feedburner.com/on-the-verge

Hope this helps

Thanks to kungfumonkey for the link. It made writing the addon incredibly easy.
