Hi,

the last week or so, the Nederland 24 plugin (which I use on a daily basis) will not start. I am running XBMCbuntu. In the logs, I find this:

My python is near non-existent, so I've no idea what's going on. Thinking I may have a partial update somewhere, I did apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. It did also upgrade some python stuff, so let's try again:

Nederland 24 plugin by bosel 2.1.4
XBMC 11.0 (24 March 2012)
Machine is an Eee box B202 (N270 Atom @1.6GHz) with broadcom crystal HD chip
Updated librtmp

Any ideas?
Also on Windows XP this add-on is not starting, results in a Python scrypt error, don't know if it's the same but seems so...
Is this plugin finished?
Looks broken for ages, including in (or perhaps because of) Frodo.
what can we do to revive it? I miss it every day... and so I'm willing to help out any way I can, but programming is not a skill I have.
I think that Nederland24 has changed their back end completely. I found documentation here: http://hosting.omroep.nl/streaming:lsapidocs and it seems that you now need to add a secret key / validation etc. Also all the URL's changed. I;m not sure if I'll have the time for it, (and if it's possible) but I'll check if this can be made into a new plugin. Not sure if the original developer of the plugin is around, he'll probably be much faster at it. But don't get your hopes up, not sure if I'll manage to make something Wink
Too bad it is still broken. Unfortunately I don't have the tech knowledge to fix this. Anybody working on this?
