[WIP] Excubed - Addon for IRC Downloads (formerly for XDCC Grabber) - Blacksmith - 2015-06-01

Hi guys. I'm releasing my first plugin/add-on that I've created: Excubed.

It makes use of Lars Formella's XDCC Grabscher program to stream and download IRC xdcc packets.

Once you've configured your install of XG run it and go to the webfrontend to create you API key and paste it into the settings. Also enter your the host, port, download and temporary file locations of your install.

Right now you can search the packets of XG, add in websites that list bots powered by XDCC Parser 1.2 beta, and search ixIRC. Through the context menu you can assign metadata to the file you are going to play, simply download the file, and delete the files gathered.

Some problems that I run into are the file stopping midway through. This is due to either catching up to the download, or the file finished downloading and XG moved the finished file to the download folder. Simply click on the file again and it should resume.

Right now this is a work in progress, and I've only tested it on my Windows 8.1 machine on the Isengard 15.0 beta. So please if you have any issues, post your logs to pastebin or xbmclogs and I'll check it out.

09/2020: v1.0 available, major upgrade, native IRC download, automatic metadata regex parsing, changes I've forgotten about le shrug

Set whoosh_db to the [kodi plugin install area]/plugin.video.excubed/whoosh_db for anime metadata
Set the download area XG Download Path setting
Might need to switch your nickname every now and again if the bot doesn't start the download.

Excellent add-on I got it working on Windows build. Will this work under openelec and other platforms ?


RE: [WIP] Kodi XDCC Grabber - Slatri - 2015-06-01

Hi I have it pulling in links but I cannot get to the webserver for the api I have tried leaving it as localhost and I have change it to my ip address http://192.168.10.108:5556 so not sure how a log will help but if you need one let me know.

I have no idea. There is a linux version of xdcc grabber. Lars says you need to mono 3.x to run it there. I imagine it will all work the same. XG can run on anything that supports C#/mono. you just need to direct the add-on to the host on which it is running.
Quote:You need at least mono 3.x because some needed libs are running on .net 4.5 wich is not supported in earlier versions.

If you are using Debian / Ubuntu, take a look here to get newer mono packages:

http://mono-project.com/DistroPackages/Debian

Needed packets / libs

mono-complete

Install command for Debian / Ubuntu to copy paste:

sudo apt-get install mono-complete

So you can't get to the webfrontend? That's weird Should be as simple as entering localhost:5556 or 127.0.0.1:5556 into your web browser. If the problem is you don't know the password the default is xgisgreat. Read over Lars's readme at https://github.com/lformella/xdcc-grabscher.

If it's the add-on that can't connect then please send me your log.

Hmm. If the xg program is running you should be able to access that. Is anything else running on port 5556? Might be a conflict


RE: [WIP] Kodi XDCC Grabber - Slatri - 2015-06-05

Not that I know of it have tvheadend on 9981 but cannot see any reason why 5556 is not working

You could change the settings manually so that it opens on a different port and try that

Open the xg.config file with a text editor in the appdata folder (<USER>\AppData\Roaming\XG) for it and change the "WebserverPort" setting to your liking

This project should probably be renamed to meet the official trademark policy?

http://kodi.wiki/view/Official:Trademark_Policy

You should not use "Kodi" or "XBMC" in the name of unoffical products, see this section:

http://kodi.wiki/view/Official:Trademark_Policy#Related_Software

Related Software

XBMC Foundation products are designed to be extended, and we recognize that community members writing add-ons and supplemental software need some way to identify the XBMC Foundation product to which their add-on/software pertain. Our main concern about add-ons and related software is that consumers not be confused as to whether they are official (meaning approved by XBMC Foundation) or not. To address that concern, we request that add-ons and supplemental software names not include, in whole or in part, the words "XBMC Foundation" or "Kodi" in a way that suggests a connection between XBMC Foundation and the add-on or software (e.g., "Frobnicator for Kodi," would be acceptable, but "Kodi Frobnicator" would not).

Ah sorry my bad. I'll change it


RE: [WIP] Excubed - Addon for XDCC Grabber - Ed76 - 2015-11-01

does this addon work with kodi 15.2? i set xg through the web frontend up but cant make a xg search within kodi (get an error, but search through web frontend works)


RE: [WIP] Excubed - Addon for XDCC Grabber - Blacksmith - 2016-02-09

Sorry haven't updated this thread in a while due to low interest. I've fixed a couple of metadata options and searching through the xg should work now.

New version gets past pesky cloudflare when adding websites that use xdcc parser


RE: [WIP] Excubed - Addon for XDCC Grabber - Blacksmith - 2016-03-22

Going to be moving away from XG soon, will have irc client packaged with add-on from jaraco along with other irc python implementations posted on github that I borrowed from to make it work. Code is a mess, and probably includes alot of unnecessary stuff, but it seems more responsive than XG and doesn't crash all the time.

Only downside is that I can't really tell how the progress on the download is going aside from seeing the file in windows explorer

The option to still download with XG will remain though.
