The Fox News plugin for XBMC seems to be broken again. I guess this is because of more changes on the Fox News website lately. I am running Frodo and 3.1.1 of the plugin. This is one of my favorite plugins for XBMC. I really hope you can update it soon? Please. Thank You!

Yes, it doesn't work from almost one month. The last version is 3.1.1 since January so someone needs to look into it and update it, especially this addon being a "XBMC official".

Feature Request
I was looking at your plugin and it looks like you scrape the videos off a webpage and display them under categories.
I was wondering if it would be possible to display all videos based on the date/time they were posted so that everything available on FoxNews or FoxBusiness could be watched in order as aired or posted to their site...
I see some have recent or latest but that wouldn't list all the available content by date.
Was wondering because I plan to cut the cord and go OTA and it would be cool if I could start where i stopped watching the day before and just watch everything through in a playlist .. kinda like delayed live or something.
I guess you would have to enumerate all the available videos and then sort them by time.. not sure if that requires saving the list or if it can be done on the fly.
-------
Also I am going to ask this in the Android Developers area but
the contextual menu that is available on my desktop when I right click is not available on my android tv box install
The contextual menu when I bring up a list of clips under your plugin
and then right click
and it says play from here and it just keeps playing clips in the list
I use a Rii mini keyboard and when I right click a menu video it backs me out like i pressed escape
if you know a work around so I don't have to keep clicking when videos end ...
I am a little bit low vision and I have to get up to see the menus and position the cursor so autoplay is helpful
---
anyway thank you very much

i found the problem with the context menu .. I had autoplay in system settings selected and someone suggested pressing C for context .. eventually I got it working...
But about the FoxNews Plugin...
many of the top categories have a sub category called Latest
I would guess if available for that show it would list whats available for that show.
I was wondering if all of the shows on foxnews and fox business could be compiled into a complete Latest List
that would list every video from all the shows as they were posted
Then you could watch them all in a playlist.. maybe 60 or more new clips a day
and then those still available from the day before.
I am guessing it is more difficult than just returning what Fox lists on their site.
It would require reading each of the categories and seeing whats available
and then making your own list.
Unfortunately i don't know python .... i know php some..
maybe I will see if I can think of any or find some code to do this.
