giftie Wrote:The 'local' streams are not skipped.. I believe the streams may not be vaild any more.. I just checked through a few of mine(using a database view to find movies that have a trailer stream) then I tried the movie one that is quite recent(12 Rounds) and this trailer failed in XBMC it self(tried playing the trailer from the info menu) It's the problem using urls for the trailers - the host site may change them(often they do) The script can't tell if it is a valid trailer. XBMC tries to play them, but can not connect to the stream. Not much I can do on the script side. You probably will get the odd one to play.
I'm not sure what that 'import site' error is about. It's not the script, because it does happen before XBMC actually starts the script. Probably an error on XBMC's built in Python module.
The 'WARNING: XFILE::CFileFactory::CreateLoader - Unsupported protocol(rtmp)' error you see is just the script looking for Thumbnails in the path of the trailer(rtmp streams are not valid paths, which I should error trap If I can)
The other error - 'an unreleased information object was encountered at address' is just info from XBMC - I don't think its a problem, definitely not one with Cinema Experience at least.
When you see the hanging, is it when a trailer should start to play.. I see XBMC having problems getting the file from TotalClips.. It's enough of a hang up for XBMC to say that the playback has stopped(a little different than playback has ended) and the script end(properly as well) If it is hanging when trailers are supposed to play there might be a problem with the stream(could be the script messing with the url, though I did test a few from your log and they did seem to work correctly in Firefox...)
Hmmm...
Hey giftie
Thanks a lot for taking the time to look through my logs.
About old/invalid url's for trailers because of being old, if this is the case I can live with it. I will just have to pester someone about the scrapers for updating trailer metadata. Is there some way I can confirm that this is the problem first though? When I looked at the log I could not figure out what URL to try and what movie in XBMC to try the 'trailer' option for. Could you point out if the info is there at all? (movie name for where trailer is from I guess is what I need?)
I wonder if you can get feedback from XBMC that a clip did not play? Then the script could add another trailer? Even if you can't tell if it is a valid stream beforehand, maybe you can tell if it successfully played or not afterward ? Or will this not work because it is just a playlist being played and script's work is done?
This problem with totalclips is the main thing I would like to solve because it was happening near continuous for me on the weekend. My impression is that it sits there indefinitely until I use the escape key to back out, but maybe I can get a more useful log if I let it sit there for 5 - 10 minutes and see if it ever naturally ends or continues? What do you think? Or is there some other useful troubleshooting I could do?
thanks so much for providing your time to help and for programming this!
