Looking to create an addon with youtube links - boognish43 - 2012-05-03 I hope im posting this in the right place. I have been creating a spreadsheet of legal live full length concert videos that are on youtube Google spreadsheet What I want to do next is create a plugin/addon that has all of these listed. What would be the simplest way to do this? I have made plugins for boxee before which was pretty straigh forward but havent made anything for xbmc. What i want is main folders with the band and sub folders to include the links Heres my structure vision: Band Folder Date of show folder Youtube links( I need the links to be text and not the full youtube link i.e. Set 1) Can someone give me a push in the right direction? I want it to be easily updateable so i was thinking maybe setting up a website that gets scraped by an addon? Not really sure where to start Thanks in advance for any help! RE: Looking to create an addon with youtube links - Beenje - 2012-05-04 Look at existing addons. To play youtube links, you can use the existing youtube add-on. I'd recommend you looking at the plugin.video.khanacademy add-on. 1. It uses script.module.xbmcswift which makes it quite easy to create a new add-on. 2. It uses the plugin.video.youtube for youtube video RE: Looking to create an addon with youtube links - pakee - 2012-05-09 Another option is to use Livestreams or Navi-x plugin and just put all the links in an online xml file (e.g. on code.google.com) which you can maintain. Each entry would look like: <item> <title>show name</title> <link>plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?action=play_video&videoid=xxxxx</link> <thumbnail>http://somurl.jpg</thumbnail> </item> livestreams supports separating each item into channels/subchannels with categories http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=97116 also if you later find concert videos on other websites like justin/veetle/freedocast, you can add them the same way RE: Looking to create an addon with youtube links - boognish43 - 2012-05-10 Thanks for the push guys! I have been playing around with an xml in livestreams and will look at the khanacademy plugin thanks again! RE: Looking to create an addon with youtube links - Mazeusa - 2012-05-19 I was looking for an answer for same issue for long time... would like to create an xml file for livestreams add-on containing youtube links, in my case I am looking into youtube live links. I did try pakee's suggestion (Many Thanks): <item> <title>show name</title> <link>plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?action=play_video&videoid=xxxxx</link> <thumbnail>http://somurl.jpg</thumbnail> </item> but for some reason it is just not working for me. could be an issue in determining the videoid part, or I am just missing something, here is an example of a link I am looking for: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPoIG7O8EEQ I used VPoIG7O8EEQ as my videoid did not work, I also tried other methods with full link, embeded link and shared link. none worked. I have other links in livestreams and they work fine; just the youtube link does not. I also have the youtube add-on which runs the link fine. I am using xbmcbuntu eden and I also tried on xbmc windows7... Any ideas? RE: Looking to create an addon with youtube links - divingmule - 2012-05-20 You may need a more recent version of LiveStreams add-on. The latest is 1.0.4 -> http://divingmules-repo.googlecode.com/files/plugin.video.live.streams-1.0.4.zip RE: Looking to create an addon with youtube links - Mazeusa - 2012-05-20 Fantastic.... The recent version of lifestreams resolved my issue and made youtube links works perfectly. Many Thanks divingmule; you made my day |
