Ninja Video is back online and i think it would be a great candidate to make use of the new url resolver. http://theninjavideo.net

thanks, interesting.....

Just wondering, but why would you scrape all 13 pages when you don't need to?

i guess because there is no easy way to tell whether there is a plugin capable of resolving the link until you know what the url is. not sure of the best way around that - any ideas? (i guess the best idea is to make sure there are resolver plugins for every host

As a side note, I have my first 'official' addon almost ready to roll.. just need to start pulling in urlresolver to get my final video links, it's very basic so far - no graphics or anything extra other than serving up the available videos

cool, looking forward to that!

So just so I understand completely - i get the idea behind it, but now have questions after thinking about it more

When I include this line in my xml, if urlresovler is not already installed on the users PC, it will install it at the same time? How will it know which repository to download it from? And say the user doesn't have the repository installed where it resides?

<import addon="script.module.urlresolver" version="0.0.1"/>

Is all I need, version has no impact?

if the user doesn't have the repo containing the modules installed they will not be able to install the addon. i think it is a good idea to try and get these modules into the main repo. if not i can host them in mine but people will have to have my repo installed. would it be worth hosting in mine anyway at least until it's more stable so that people like yourself can easily release test versions of your addons (you'd just have to tell people to make sure my repo was installed as well as yours)

the version does matter i believe. you can omit the version and it will install whatever version is available, but i guess that could lead to incompatibilities. this is partly why i haven't put this stuff in a repo yet while it is not stable. i don't know if you can have 2 versions of a module installed at the same time - perhaps someone who knows more about the xbmc internals can comment? i guess we could have a version number in the module itself and handle new/old interfaces that way if the xbmc stuff doesn't do that.

probably more questions than answers again there
