hi i am working on an stalker client for mz own
livetv is working but with the vod i have a little bit problems

save the js to file is not a problem but it takes a verlz long time cuy must send request for every single page wich
onlz gives data back for 14items

çmost portals have about 10000 items in the vod section so need to send about 700 request...thats too much

so i want to usw "get_category" so i only need to load onlz choosen categorz ( movie german, movie english and so on)

to create the folder for the vod streams i use this function

python:
def GenresVOD():



    try:

        data = vod.getGenresVOD(portal['mac'], portal['url'], portal['serial'], addondir);

        

    except Exception as e:

        xbmcgui.Dialog().notification(addonname, str(e), xbmcgui.NOTIFICATION_ERROR );

        

        return;



    data = data['genresVOD'];

    

    

    for id, i in list(data.items()):



        title     = i["title"];

        category     = i["genre"];

        



        

        url = build_url({

            'mode': 'channelsVOD',

            'genre_name': title.title(),

            'id': category,  i want to get this number

            'portal' : json.dumps(portal)

            });   

            

        li = xbmcgui.ListItem(title.title())

        xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem(handle=addon_handle, url=url, listitem=li, isFolder=True);

        



    xbmcplugin.endOfDirectory(addon_handle);

this send an "url" with informations to another function

in build url i take the rigth id wich i want to use how i can extract/read the url 

plugin://plugin.video.stalkerportal/?genre_name=Movie: Netherlands &;id=365&;mode=channelsVOD&;portal={"parental": "", "password": "", "name": "24.02.2022", "url": "http://portalurl", "mac": "my mac", "serial": null

in this example i need to take out the number 365

to use it in another script
here:

category : here i need the number

python:
def getVoDchannels(portal_mac, url, serial, path):    

    now = time();

    portalurl = "_".join(re.findall("[a-zA-Z0-9]+", url));

    portalurl = path + '/' + portalurl + '-vodchannels';

    

    setMac(portal_mac);

    setSerialNumber(serial);

    

    if not os.path.exists(path):

        os.makedirs(path)

    

    if os.path.exists(portalurl):

        with open(portalurl) as data_file: data = json.load(data_file);

    

    handshake(url);

    

    data=data1

    

    data = '{ "version" : "' + cache_version + '", "time" : "' + str(now) + '", "vodchannels" : [  \n'

    

    page = 1;



    while True:

        info = retrieveData(url, values = {

            'type' : 'vod', 

            'action' : 'get_ordered_list',

            'sortby' : 'year',

            'not_ended' : '0',

            'category' : here i need the number,

            'p' : page,

            'fav' : '0',

            'JsHttpRequest' : '1-xml'})

        

        results = info['js']['data']



        for i in results:

            name     = i["name"]

            cmd     = i['cmd']

            logo     = i["screenshot_uri"]

            category_id     = i["category_id"]

            

            data += '{"name":"'+ name +'", "cmd":"'+ cmd +'", "logo":"'+ logo +'"}, \n'



        page += 1;

        if page > pages or page == 200:

            break;



    data = data[:-3] + '\n]}'



    with open(portalurl, 'wb') as f: f.write(data.encode('utf-8'));

    

    return json.loads(data.encode('utf-8'));

Why can't you use the id from the for loop? or is there an id in the json request? Check what the json list(data.items() contains.

python:
for id, i in list(data.items()):

    # check what is in json, xbmc.log('json: {}'.format(i),level=xbmc.LOGNOTICE)

    title     = i["title"];

    category     = i["genre"];



    url = build_url({

        'mode': 'channelsVOD',

        'genre_name': title.title(),

        'id': id, #

        'portal' : json.dumps(portal)

        })

Using your url as an example, can you not do something like this?

python:
from urllib.parse import urlparse, parse_qs

url = 'plugin://plugin.video.stalkerportal/?genre_name=Movie: Netherlands &;id=365&;mode=channelsVOD&;portal={"parental": "", "password": "", "name": "24.02.2022", "url": "http://portalurl", "mac": "my mac", "serial": null'

parsed_url = urlparse(url)

queries = parse_qs(parsed_url.query)

print(queries[';id'])



>>> ['365']

got it

python:
def getVoDchannels(portal_mac, url, serial, path):

    args = urllib.parse.parse_qs(sys.argv[2][1:])

    id     = args['id'][0];

thanks for your help
