I have been using this addon for a lot of months on my android box without any problems. However today all acestream links are not working. When I click on all links, the window on screen stops on 'playing torrent' notification and it stays for a couple of seconds, then I get the message 'Acestream failed to load file'. Any help pls?

Hello, I am trying to get p2p-streams working to play acestream links. Every link I open via the website parsers fails. Below is a snippet from the logs. This is running on Rasberry Pi Kodi (rasbmc).
07:10:02 T:2864161856 WARNING: Attempt to use invalid handle -1
No sopcast streams work either.
Any ideas?
Thanks very much,
Ryan

Is that why people opt for Android Box over Pi?

As you all may know, google code will shut down in June or something. I need to find an alternative repository for this plugin (github is not an option). I'll probably use the microsoft one upon suggestion of a friend (not that I like them much lol).
I also want to change the name of the plugin. It has to be something related to peer-to-peer or live without any mentions to streams/stream.
I am open to suggestions.
I don't use this plugin much nowadays so if simply there is no interest in helping or giving suggestions I assume there is also no interest in the plugin. If that's the case I'll simply drop support to it.

It has to be a single word and not contain strange characters such as "-", "_" or others. This is not in the official repository but I still like to follow the guidelines as much as possibe.
They haven't updated the engine in a while now, it looks like last year. They spent too much time without updating it and then in one month they've updated it 3 or 4 times lol.

Hi there,
p2p-stream is not working on Kodi for QNAP.
When loading modules on boot, it asks if I am running OPENELEC:
- If I press "no" (which is the case), when trying to play anything, it says "Couldn't find the Acestream or Sopcast links"
- If I press "yes", it seems to find the engines (the message above is not showing), but they do not work. Sopcast links do nothing, and acestream links always return "the URL could not be open or invalid" message.
I think it is something related to the path in which QNAP stores the engines. I tried to modify start.sh (for acestream) and sop.sh (for sopcast) in order to include the right path, but still nothing.
Any suggestion will be more than welcome, since it is my favourite add-on!

Well, after a number of tries, Not very sure how, but I got Sopcast working on my QNAP HD_Station. I just removed everything (using an SSH connection). Then I installed P2P-Streams again, from the P2P-Streams repository.
Nevertheless acestream doesn't work yet. It says "Acestream not installed", though the modules have beed downloaded and I can see the acestream folder on the plugin.video.p2p-stream folder. Again, I copied start.sh modified with the right path, but I didn't get it to work.
Any idea?

Sorry, tedbaker, I was writing while you posted your answer. Besides that, I have been searching for QNAP entries but I found nothing. I will search again to find your previous post.
Regarding acestream, my QNAP (TS-251C) has an Intel Celeron CPU, so I believe that is not the case.
Thx a lot for your answer.
