I made a script to download a external video file, its working just fine, but i keep stuck in the screen till the download is done and i wanted to know how can i play this file while downloading it. Or if there is any addon that could do that for me it would work too, thanks in advance

python:
def Download(url, ref=""):

    Path = xbmc.translatePath( xbmcaddon.Addon().getAddonInfo('path') )

    file = os.path.join( Path, "video.mp4")

    req = Request(url)

    if ref:

        req.add_header('referer', ref)

    prog=0

    progress = xbmcgui.DialogProgressBG()

    progress.create('Loading...')

    sizechunk = 16 * 1024 

    totalsize = 0

    resp = urlopen(req)

    length = re.compile('ength\: ?(\d+)').findall(str(resp.headers))

    with open(file, 'wb') as f:

        while True:

            progtotal = int( 100*totalsize/(int(length[0])) )

            progress.update(progtotal, "")

            prog+=1

            chunk = resp.read(sizechunk)

            if not chunk:

                break

            f.write(chunk)

            totalsize+=sizechunk

    progress.close()

Sorry for opening in the wrong forum
I guess I made it worked, what would be the best way to stop the looping if i wanted to stop downloading, my only thought for now is making a variable and saved it in the addon config and change it when i want it to stop

[Rick987]

Probably not the best solution, but this what came to my mind, using getSetting to check if u want to stop the download, also it needs to implement resume option
Posting here cuz it may help someone that are looking for something like that, thanks

python:


AddonID = 'plugin.video.addoname'

Addon = xbmcaddon.Addon(AddonID)



def StartDownload(url="", ref=""):

    if Addon.getSetting("cDownload") == "True":

        d = xbmcgui.Dialog().yesno("", "Stop Downloading and start this one?")

        if d:

            Addon.setSetting("cDownload", "False")

            xbmc.sleep(6000)

            Addon.setSetting("cDownload", "True")

            Download(url, ref)

    else:

        Addon.setSetting("cDownload", "True")

        Download(url, ref)

    

def StopDownload():

    d = xbmcgui.Dialog().yesno("", "Stop Downloading?")

    if d:

        Addon.setSetting("cDownload", "False")

python:


def Download(url="", ref=""):

    if not url: return

    Path = xbmc.translatePath( xbmcaddon.Addon().getAddonInfo('path') )

    file = os.path.join( Path, "video.mp4")

    req = Request(url)

    if ref:

        req.add_header('referer', ref)

    req.add_header('Content-Type', 'video/mp4')

    sizechunk = 10 * 1024 * 1024

    totalsize = 0

    resp = urlopen(req)

    length = re.compile('ength\: ?(\d+)').findall(str(resp.headers))

    prog=0

    progress = xbmcgui.DialogProgressBG()

    progress.create('Loading... '+length[0])

    with open(file, 'wb') as f:

        while True and Addon.getSetting("cDownload") == "True":

            progtotal = int( 100*totalsize/(int(length[0])) )

            progress.update(progtotal, "")

            prog+=1

            chunk = resp.read(sizechunk)

            if not chunk:

                Addon.setSetting("cDownload", "False")

                break

            f.write(chunk)

You don't need to use addon.setSetting / addon.getSetting, just use self to jump between functions.

self.cDownload = False

self.cDownload = True

self.cDownload = False

Ill try that, thanks for replying

self.cDownload = False

self.cDownload = True

Im not sure how to use that, i guess i need to make a class, never tried that

I guess it should be something like this, you also need to add the request func to the class.

I understand a bit more about classes now, i could make it work, but I still dont know how to stop, when i call r.StopDownload() it says the vairable r doenst exists, dunno what im doing wrong, but anyway id like to thank you for all the help

python:


if mode == 0:

    r = run()

    r.StartDownload()

elif mode == 1

    r.StopDownload()

[M89SE]

try this:

python:
r = run()



if mode == 0:

    r.StartDownload()

elif mode == 1

    r.StopDownload()

[Rick987]

try this:

python:
r = run()



if mode == 0:

    r.StartDownload()

elif mode == 1

    r.StopDownload()

I tried this too, seems like every time you run anything in the addon the variable r is different and receives a new class, maybe im doing something wrong. thx anyway

[M89SE]

oh sry the class is already running, try this:

python:
if mode == 0:

     self.StartDownload()

elif mode == 1

     self.StopDownload()

[Rick987]

     self.StopDownload()

u dont need to be sorry. I tried this and it didnt work, it says self is not defined

[M89SE]

self must be defined in __init__ , try this, but you need to adjust to your function because I haven't seen the whole code:

        mode = 0

        if mode == 0:

            self.StartDownload()

        elif mode == 1:

            self.StopDownload()



    def StartDownload(self, url="", ref=""):

        if self.cDownload:
