love the add on tons of content, however I have come to notice that more and more of the programs are broken up into parts, is there a way to queue all parts or to stack them all to play as one file? Keep up the good work.

I have never been able to get this to work on ATV2 running latest Dharma release (not nightly). Tried removing & re-installing to no avail. I LOVE documentaries & would really like to get this working. Any help is appreciated & I am happy to troubleshoot.

ok, I have managed to get it working by editing the offending line in default.py:
Guessing that the "€" was causing the "non-ascii character" error, I replaced it with "~". Amazingly, that worked. Don't ask me how or why chose that character to replace it. I seriously have no idea what I am doing. I thought a Python was a snake.
From googling the error message - I gather it has something to do with unicode or UTF8 or something. I am assuming this all means something to you developer- wizards out there.....I am just an infrastructure guy with insomnia and a burning desire to watch documentaries.
addLink('Play '+name+' -'+' Part '+ str(i),url.replace('€','').replace('/',''),'','','')
except: pass

Could you help me with getting this working on atv2 . I can only install from the repo and therfore cant find the default.py to modify . Is it possible to upload your modified addon

Since I assume this is affecting all ATV users, hopefully it will get fixed soon.
Not sure where I would upload anything for you if you can only install from the repo. Can't you access your ATV via terminal or preferably SFTP (using Cyberduck on Mac or Filezilla on PC)? That's what I did, then copied the default.py to my PC, edited it & copied it back (backing up the original).

Is where all of the Addon folders are. plugin.video.topdoc is the folder you are looking for. Make a backup of the default.py before editing it.
FYI, Filezilla has a search feature - that's what I used initially to figure out where things are. Then bookmark locations you are likely to need to acccess again.

Sorry for the hiatus. I was transferred (due to my profession) to a country where it is hard for me to reach major file-sharing or video streaming sites. Nevertheless, long live XBMC users.
2011-07-05, 04:52
it would seem that the plugin is no longer functioning, thanks for all your hard work.
2011-08-07, 06:15
Plugin has been all dead for a while now.
Could we get a fix?

Just thought I would share my fixed version of the TopDocumentaries add-on.
On initial testing this is running fine for me on latest ppa:lars-opdenkamp/xbmc-pvr version of XBMC so I guess it should be fine for stable/trunk svn versions of Dharma.
You can download it from here:

would it be possible to check the status of the plugin, I am getting the plugin failed error on the content that actually comes up, at first check many of the docs contain nothing. Thanks for your time working on this great plugin.
