Hello mac1202,

@gedisony if i can suggest you some improvement :
- when "show only comment that have a link" is set to yes, it would be nice that the number next to the show comment entry will only reflect the number of comment that have actually a link and not all the comments (Hope i make my point clear english isnt my first language).

- Having an accurate count of the comments will significantly slow down the addon. explanation: when you click on a subreddit like r/all, reddit will send info about the posts in that subreddit. the addon will parse that data and list the ones that are supported. reddit does not send info about comments during this phase. if the addon asks reddit about the comments for each of those posts it will take a long time for the user to see r/all.

- When using add to addon favorites a favorite is added in the addon_data directory but i cant see how to access them in the addon.

- this is from reddit_tv, i've never investigated this feature. i'll check into it but will probably remove.

- Possiblity to set a custom name for the subreddit. For example instead of displaying "music+listentothis/new" i can set a custom name like "New music".

- this is a good feature. I will add it in.

-Sometimes there is the same link posted in different subreddit as result they appears several time. For example in site:liveleak.com they could be 5-6 post with the same video an option to detect and hide dupes link would be awesome.

- not sure about this feature. i'll probably add it coz it is an interesting challenge but not sure if practical. which subreddit to prioritize? user might want to see different comments...

Hello mac1202,

If it's possible making the addon ask reddit about comment for the selected post and only when the user press the key to display the context it shouldn't slow down the addon this way ?

Maybe the addon could display the one with the most upvote and add a visual indicator that dupes are available and add a context menu entry to display the dupes post.


This is just some suggestion I have absoultely no idea if it's technically possible

I think it is possible but I'm not willing to spend the amount of effort needed to find out if it really is possible and to make it happen.
Once your addon presents a list of items to the user, it is done running. Kodi will run your addon(or a different one) again to handle things that the user selects.
To ask reddit about something after a list has been presented to the user involves having a separate component(service) of your addon that will run in the background, monitoring user activity, doing those requests and updating the presentation

Maybe the addon could display the one with the most upvote and add a visual indicator that dupes are available and add a context menu entry to display the dupes post.

[mac1202]

And just for information is there a difference between site: and /domain/ ?
It seems to do the same thing to me.

[gedisony]

"site:" and "/domain/" does the same thing.
They are just prefixes to tell the addon that any text after those characters are to be put after "https://www.reddit.com/domain/" when it queries reddit for posts.

Actually, anything before the ':' on "site:" doesn't matter.
You can call it "domain:" or "asdf:"

Just a little glitch in the 2.6.8 version in the alias fonction. music+listentothis[cool sounds] is displayed as [cool sounds] instead of cool sounds.

[gedisony]

hello mac1202, I intended the alias to show up with brackets so that it won't be confused as a subreddit.

I'm going to skip the duplicates purge. I need to start testing for kodi17.

[mac1202]

Hi some feedback after using your addon on daily basis :

- moving the comment count from context menu to description was a nice idea
- I think that removing the "show only comments that have a link" option and replacing it with two context menu entry :
- show comment links
- show comments
will be more convenient.
- I hope you'll figure a way to make the picture viewer work in krypton like in version prior to 2.6.9 it was much more pleasant to use.
- Add a option to force the view of the image album. (they are displayed as list I personally prefer if i could set the view to thumbnail)
- Are you going to try to add the duplicates purge after the krypton testing ?
-In the download section of the option when i try to setup the quality/directory for youtube, vimeo or dailymotion it ask me to install the reddit.com addon.

and to finish a big thank you for bringing us so much improvement over the original reddit addon.

[gedisony]

I appreciate the encouraging words mac1202.

I like your idea about the context menu entries for comments. I'll have that in the next version.
I'll also add the option to pick the view id for displaying albums. afaik, view id's are skin specific so the user needs to know what view id correspond to 'thumbnails'

I do intend to improve the picture viewer. Much of the code for previous one was borrowed from a picture addon called "the big picture". I had a hard time getting it to work and when I discovered that it doesn't work on kodi 17 I decided to just use the simple picture viewer until I learn more.

I'm going to leave the duplicates alone.

The download section is a leftover from reddit.tv. I left it alone in case I'm going to add a download option in reddit viewer.

Thanks for testing mac!

[gedisony]

The error was because the addon was expecting values from the old setting that I've already removed.
I keep forgetting to test it on a fresh install system.

updated version should be up shortly.
