The expiring tokens was fixed?

Your issue was not expiring tokens... you are confusing temporary passes (tokens) issued by the playon server with a rolling upnp id every time you reboot the playon server. They are two different things

Token handling wasn't touched, far as I can tell it works fine. Playon browser has a option for you to enable/disable this feature. When enabled playback will be slower because the browser has to search out a new link.

What I fixed was upnpid detection to handle times when it might have changed... It should now automatically detect your new upnpid...

Depending on how you have your strms/shortcuts linked this should fix your problem... Just make sure whatever "shortcuts" you create are directed to the playon browser and not directly to a upnp:// id.

Oh! Thanks for you answer bro ^^

And how exactly I must proceed? I don´t use strm´s, Just wanna a shortcut from My List of Netflix. If I manage to have this, the others sections is easy.

If you are running the latest beta available in my repo can you tell me how the plugin is performing? any issues?

So I implemented the update and tried to use MyLibrary to import into the Kodi library in an effort to get around expiring links. Noticed 2 things, One: I noticed that it took much much longer to process using the plugin path rather than the upnp. Two: it was unable to determine what was a movie and what was an episode/show. So basically it created all the episode STRMS in the movies folder.

Anyone using this with MyLibrary have any input. I can post my XML if it helps

So also just came back from using the Netflix plugin as it has stopped working and am seeing this same issue. It seems like the PlayOn Browser is changing the file names for episodes from SxxEyy to Eyy. As such the MyLibrary doesn't see them as episodes at all -- and hence they are put into the movie category. Just found this out and am trying to see if any MyLibrary features might be able to parse this. I am also seeing significant performance issues between this plugin and direct upnp. Like minutes vs seconds for navigating into a folder. This is impacting MyLibrary in the same manner. Will post back if I figure it out.

Funny enough as Amazon uses a messed up file naming for seasons it leaves them alone and MyLIbrary works (sort of) for those episodes :-).

Lunatixz -- any thoughts on this? I am assuming the name changes are for UI purposes? Also any ideas on the navigation performance issues?

Cheers, Tony.

So after further digging it seems that the 'Enable Metadata' option needs to be turned off to avoid the name changes causing MyLibrary issues as described above.

And my MyLibrary config.xml looks like the following.

<SearchFilters>
<PlayOnBrowser path="plugin://plugin.video.playonbrowser" recursive="false" custom_parser="PlayOn">

<!--Netflix MyList TV Shows -->
<subfolder name="Movies and TV/Netflix/The Wises/My List/Arrow/" recursive="true" type="episodes" suffix=" [Netflix]">
<filter>
             <contains>Season</contains>
           </filter>
         </subfolder>

</PlayOnBrowser>

</SearchFilters>

(I am using the filter to grab TV shows only as the movies are also in the top directory. The suffix I add so I can tell from the title where the item in the library is from -- need to turn off 'replace names with library names' option in kodi))

The only oddity I see is the name of the strm file has the SxxEyy twice like: SXXEYY - sxxeyy <episode name>. However within Kodi its fine. Kodi is smart enough to parse that out I am assuming. This seems to be due to the fact that MyLibrary is using a '-' to separate the series and episode name and there is no '-' in the file name (looking into regex to fix this)

As far as PERFORMANCE I am only updating daily so I am ok that the MyLibrary script is running slowly. Unfortunately within Kodi I am shortcutting to the upnp instead for browsing for items not integrated with my library (via MyLIbrary). The PlayOnBrowser is simply unusable for any kind of normal browsing. I'll dig into logs another day to see if anything is jumping out that might be impacting performance.

[skarragallagher]

I notice the same things with performance and episode. I'll compare our configs later

Is metadata enabled? Disable for improved performance.

Hello,

I just updated from 1.0.6 KODI repo to 1.0.15 lunatixz repo, Everything is working fine, except the search function. When I try to search with 1.0.15, the result is always empty. When I search with 1.0.6, the result list is correct and working. I tested this with the amazon channel.

I am using Raspberry Pi3 with Kodi 17 beta 5. Do I need any additional packages?

Thanks in advance and appreciation for your efforts!

Hi there.
Just took this plugin for a test drive - but can't seem to make it work correctly - but that's an issue for another post.
I was just wandering - and maybe this is a stupid question:
This PseudoLibrary - is that a part of pseudoTV Live, or is it a standalone plugin and is it still being developed?
I seems to be the missing link in KODI i've allways dreamt off...

Keep up your good work...

The beta plugin seems to fix this error.

Please download the beta build in the Lunatixz repository. I will push a update to the Kodi repo shortly.

trying to download PlayOn Add-on and i get error when i click install. something about "dependency on script.module.skin.helper.artutils not satisfied"
some searching has led me to believe kodi v17.1 does not use script.module.skin.helper.artutils, but rather "script.module.metadatautils" instead
can anybody confirm this, if this is so, am i able to change the addon.xml to accommodate this change

this addon was going to be key in my kodi system. is anybody with 17.1 able to install this(not just those who carried it over from 16)
