The plugin is marked as broken for a reason. Based on what I'm seeing though, I'd bet that if you try to watch from the website it won't work as well. You're probably IP blocked from The Escapist now.

That's right now none of the machines in the house can get to it, how did I get IP blocked? I'm going to powercycle my modem and get a new IP, hopefully that'll be the solution.

By using the plugin. The Escapist can detect that it's in use, and they block your IP from accessing any videos. Floppie is working with them in the same way that others have, but he hasn't finished yet. Once there's a new version of the plugin then it will be safe to use, but until then remove it or don't use it. But yes, getting a new IP will fix things.

Hey Floppie, any chance of an update on what's going on with this? It's been about 2 months since we've heard any sort of update from you. Just wondering if you've abandoned the project or if you're still working on it.

Hello all.

I apologize, to everyone who was enjoying this plugin, for the disappearing act - RL happened. I'm back on track now and I hope to work with Escapist support to get this thing back up and running. I for one am way behind on Zero Punctuation Smile

As of right now I have no truly useful updates (i.e. "it works!") - however I do have a theoretical idea of how I'm going to code it to make it work. Hopefully theory and practice will align pretty closely.

Great to hear that you're starting work on it again. I had been thinking about it the other day, wondering what had happened.

Great to hear it's back on track.
When I first discovered the plugin I was thrilled. I felt like my media centre was finally complete ... then my IP got banned from watching Escapist videos and the admins told me why.
I would love to get that back again if it's possible.

Still no word back from Escapist support Sad

Would it be too childish or annoying if multiple people sent support requests to show how much we would like this?
We could also start a poll on the site's forums, but I doubt that many users there have or even care about XBMC.

A poll on the site's forum might get us somewhere. The plugin had 7000 users at one point when I saw XBMC release some statistics, so if we can get a halfway decent percentage to vote "yes" it might speak volumes. I wouldn't send in shotgun support requests though Smile

I'm on my way out now so I'll get on it later today (or tomorrow).

Well I made the thread today.

Let me know if I neglected to add any important information.

Thanks - it looks solid. I'm watching the thread, but as the developer, I'm not planning on making any comments one way or the other.

Here's hoping this speaks to them. Maybe I'm one viewer in a million, but I don't have speakers hooked up to any of my machines except my XBMC box, so without this plugin, I don't watch any of the videos on the site. I miss some of them Smile
