I cant repro it either, http://www.ted.com/talks/list/page/ works fine here as well

I've noticed the problem is with a few different Internet scripts e.g. YouTube, Giant Bomb. Must be a network setting?
I turned off my firewall but that didn't help. I am using Windows 7.

EDIT: Found out what was wrong, I had a HTTP proxy enabled in settings. Thanks for the response. Look forward to playing around with XBMC some more.

BTW, is there any point installing SVN Repo considering the Dharma Beta RC 2 comes with its own repo?

Concerning the audio issue. I'm facing the same problem that I don't get sound for the TED plugin videos. Actually I think the assumption that it is related to the MOno sound could be true. I don't have a solution but at least a workaround:
I had the issue with an 5.1 sound setting. After changing to 2.0 in XBMC I get sound again.

Any way to get this working in the latest ATV2 builds?
I can't get it to install at all (either the SVN repo or from putting it altogether from trunk: http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/svn/tr...D%20Talks/)

http://mirrors.xbmc.org/addons/dharma-pr...ted.talks/

use zip file from there and manually install

Perfect. Thanks Amet. Works great too!!

I was wondering if there was any reason why this plugin is unavailable from the official plugin repository now.

FYI, I am using eden-pre build.

It seems like they have changed the download url string that the plugin uses to download the correct file and play it.
Here you have the diff on what I changed to make it work (and updated the version strings):

And here is the patched version if you don't want to apply the patch:

[Mr. Orange]

Changed the 2 lines of code in ted_talks_scraper.py. Tested. Did happy dance.

Many thanks zedDB, I owe you a beer

Did you submit your patch to be included in the next version of the plugin?

[zedDB]

I did not do that as I don't really know where and how to do it...
I'm quite new to xbmc and it's development community so if you know whom to ask or help me out otherwise just let me know

I think the best way is to PM the plugin author rwparris2. Or, if you have a Git repository, submit a pull request (more info here).

Thanks again for the fix.

[spiff]

updated in repo, thanks

[zedDB]

Thanks again for the fix.

Np np ^^

Thank you for getting this commited!

[thevikas]

I made a added a new list of tags and then related videos to the same TED talks plugin. Wondering how do I share the code? I can't create patch since I don't know the latest svn repo path. The one on google-code seems last updated in 2009.

so, suggest how can i share my code/patch
