[corona]

Hey everyone,
I was having problems with a number of functions no longer working, predominately profile selection (blank list).
Some other things like viewing history weren't working either (showing blank list), so I decided to try to fix them.

If anyone else is having similar issues you could try cloning my working space fork into your addons dir:
https://gitlab.alelec.net/corona/plugin....lixbmc.git
there's a zip download button on the page also rather than needing to use git if you don't want to.


Hi @AddonScriptorDE, I take it you work out of the google-code svn predominately, not the github repo? Would you be interested in pull requests on github?

I've also replaced urllib2 with requests, this allowed me to use its Session object instead of the cookiejar, and with (good old nasty) pickle save the Session to/from disk. This means the profile selection request doesn't need to be sent each time :-D

I think compressions is enabled by default in requests too, which could speed up things slightly as long as your cpu is better than your web connection.

Cheers,
Andrew
