Hi Bas (hallo ),

I just LOVE your XOT-UZG script and have been trying to find a way to add all my other video-streaming scripts as channels under XOT-UZG. However, I have no experience with writing Python scripts at all! I know some basic scripting and coding, so picking up the skills or understanding the code shouldnt be too difficult. So, I've been trying to adjust one of the scripts (MyVideos.nl to be exact) to load the videos from commandn.typepad.com and eventually want to add others like twit.tv, diggnation.com crankygeeks.com and many others. Once done, I could share the channels with you to share on the server and offer through the update-channels option, but let's take one step at a time

I read on your guide that you'll be expanding the guide to include more information, but I'm sure you haven't been getting to that. I would really love an update to the online channel-guide, or maybe a template channel that I can adjust. Better yet, if you were to have a simple RSS-template channel that I can use to specify the URL, the right tags to filter in the regex, etc, that would be amazing! )

So far, what I was able to do (and I honestly still have no idea what the hell I'm doing ) is this:

1. I was able to list just 1 entry after I click the channel. When I click it, it also actually is linked to the right video-file. Annoying thing is that when I click the program, it tries to load the entire file. So I think that somehow I'm telling it to try and filter that file for videos, rather than play the actual video itself.

2. When I totally had no idea what I was doing, I had a huge list (about 100+ to 200+ items) named 'h' and after some editing 'm' which were not linked to anything I think somehow, there I was not taking the right content out. But what I realized there is that I DID get 100 over entries like I was supposed to, whereas now I don't. I just get 1..

3. I tried creating a category that is linked directly to the RSS feed, but that doesnt list any items at all after I click the category, so that one is entirely screwed up.

4. Last thing I tried was to start from scratch: empty .py file, copy in whatever is in the guide and go step-by-step but that too became a huge mess and wouldnt work. In fact, first it would only list 1-2-3 channel, later it would just show "ChannelName" on the left and hang my XBMC So, I gave up on that one.

To share with you what I have now (and yes, I know its a MESS, but I have been trying to edit the existing script and was worried I might still need some things) and really appreciate your help or hopefully something that I can use as a template )

Code in next reply (too big)
