Don't see why not, let me get my first release out, then I'll look into strms from misc addons and upnp sources.

::Update::

Because of time restraints initial beta release will not feature NFO and youtube Strm generating... But those are main features that will be released shortly Smile

::Update::

Initial beta release will be available via my repo.
Doesn't include youtube, music, or nfo creation... those features are coming soon!

Feedback is always welcome...

A quick question involving parsing for certain shows (that may be beyond the scope of what you're trying to do at the moment):

I'd like to use this to generate strms for anime shows on crunchyroll, and so i added a show with the config line below:

TVShows|Plugin|plugin://plugin.video.crunchyroll-takeout/Anime/Alphabetical/Ace of the Diamond|""|100|1|Ace of Diamond

This grabs the show correctly, and saves the files like they're named on crunchyroll:

E:\STRM\TVShows\Ace of Diamond\Episode 1 - The One Pitch - PluginTV.strm

The problem is that XBMC can't then parse that episode, since no season is specified. I can change the end of the config line to "Ace of Diamond\Season 01", which will result in a season directory with the episodes in it, but i'm assuming since the files are still just "episode 01" that XBMC doens' tknow what to do with it.

That being said, is there any way to either get an xbmc scraper to recognize these, or maybe work something into the plugin to specify appending something before the filename, so i could append "season 01 - " before the name?

Thanks in advance - the plugin is super early and is already showing HUGE promise!

There are a lot of changes coming in next build...

Changed naming scheme to help with library integration.

Sounds great. Hope that it works with Spotlight.

Tried with both the PBS plugin and PlayOn (Amazon) as sources... Created perfectly named folders but no STRMs.

the nova was a bad example since it's properly formated as a TVshow, so the strms won't generate correctly, change it to a generic type

But anyway, I'm getting strms... so it must be an issue with creating the strms... I'll look into it may be an os issue...

ullms · 2014-10-01, 02:41

For me the plugin is generating strm files but all of the strm files only contain one line "<type 'file'>". Using v0.0.3 with Playon (netflix).
None of the strm files play in XBMC.

This is going to be the best plugin for xbmc. Great work!
