So I'm making an addon for catchup on the following sites.

flowerstv.in
mazhavilmanorama.com/videos/playlists/thateem-mutteem.html, as well as the other shows.

The problems I'm facing.

The first site, I'm able to scrape the site for videos e.t.c
I'm just having a problem for when the url is scraped, on how to play it. i tried using urlresolver, but I can't get it to work.
I'll paste the cod below.

For the second site, I'm able to scrape the site for all the info I need, except the link to play. This is because they use brightcove to play videos. If anyone knows how to decode the link please reply.

MY CODE FOR THE FIRST SiTE. I've tried using urlresolver, but i can't get it to resolve the url. 


import xbmcaddon,os,requests,xbmc,xbmcgui,urllib,urllib2,re,xbmcplugin




from resources.lib.modules.channels import *

def CATEGORIES():
   r = requests.get('http://www.flowerstv.in/category/uppum-mulakum/')
   match = re.compile('data-original="(.+?)" alt="(.+?)" />.+?effect"><a href="(.+?)"',re.DOTALL).findall(r.content)
   for image,name,url in match:
     addDir3(name.replace('–','-'),'',3,image,'','')

def UPPU(url,name):
   r = requests.get('url')
   match = re.compile('Url" src="(.+?)".+?alt="(.+?)".+?<p><iframe src="(.+?)"',re.DOTALL).findall(r.content)
   for image,name,url in match:
     addDir3(name,'',3,image,'','')


#So here, the addon can scrape almost everything.
#The '' in addDir 3 is the url.

#How can I play that URL?

 
 

def get_params():
        param=[]
        paramstring=sys.argv[2]
        if len(paramstring)>=2:
                params=sys.argv[2]
                cleanedparams=params.replace('?','')
                if (params[len(params)-1]=='/'):
                        params=params[0:len(params)-2]
                pairsofparams=cleanedparams.split('&')
                param={}
                for i in range(len(pairsofparams)):
                        splitparams={}
                        splitparams=pairsofparams[i].split('=')
                        if (len(splitparams))==2:
                                param[splitparams[0]]=splitparams[1]
                                
        return param

THANKS.

Please use a pastebin site or something similar for code. Just dropping it unformatted here both bloats our database unnecessarily and makes it very difficult to read/analyse.

Okay.

The proper way is to use xbmcplugin.SetResolvedUrl(). I have never gotten it to work, as I specifically need custom scrobbling and watched state support, but it may work for you to let kodi handle that. Another thing you should do is look at the code for the YouTube plugin, as it does basically exactly what you want. If you can't read that code, then you definitely can't write it (well), so take that advice with it. Working with Kodi's addon system takes a few years to get properly experienced with, so good luck.
