Addons4Xbox development

[byron]

What build/s would you prefer I use to do testing with? I've got some time on the weekends, kinda sad for me to say late on a Friday night...but I really got nothin better to do

[byron]

When you interested to help adapting addons for xbmc4xbox your are welcome!

I mess with these from time to time...that's how I ended up modding a skin. I kinda want to make ShoutCast2 work...maybe I could dig in there. Anayway:

DiscloseTv works well

CollegeHumor didn't (I don't think it could import MECHANIZE properly)

--> line 43:

Code: Select all

05:33:36 M: 34619392   ERROR: Error Type: exceptions.ImportError
05:33:36 M: 34619392   ERROR: Error Contents: No module named mechanize

I have many to do this weekend but i fix the the access from the dependencies pyamf and mechanize on the two addons !
This is the problem the installer works but not allmost perfect when i add the dependencies from addon one and the dependencies have self a dependencies i must it add on the addon.xml from ther first addon tot that is on mainline xbmc better!
Is a little fucking to test !
i adapt addon then i must all the scriptmodules delete what i have on my xbox !
Install the addon what i have adapted from the repro and look it is working to when i adapt the next addon i must again all scriptmodules delete and test my next adapted addon to!

Yea, that sounds a bit agonizing...and I'm sure you guys have probably already discussed this, but why not a "Lame Duck" addon that contains all of the dependencies and is called upon only when needed (AddonX or something)? Like college humor needs mechanize and couldn't find it anywhere else, so looks at AddonX as a last resort...

[byron]

@ jan...so all I did was add the import for mechanize:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<addon id="plugin.video.collegehumor" name="CollegeHumor" version="2.0.0" provider-name="Tristan Fischer (sphere@dersphere.de)">
  <requires>
    <import addon="xbmc.python" version="2.0"/>
    <import addon="script.module.beautifulsoup" version="3.0.8"/>
    <import addon="script.module.xbmcswift" version="0.2.0"/>
    <import addon="script.module.mechanize" version="0.2.5"/>
    <import addon="plugin.video.youtube" version="3.3.0" />
  </requires>

then I manually installed the module from a4x and it now works...so what else has to be done as far as dependencies? How do I know which plugin to call them from (i.e. this one opens up youtube obviously, but where should it get mechanize?), and how can I add the changes for you or others to test?

Also, if there was an AddonX or something of the like...it could get what it needs from youtube first and then check there for missing imports? After rereading that, it really sounds pretty far fetched

@Byron
What you think i am cracy!
without my work he hat nothing on addons or scriptmodules what works on xbmc4xbox !
No urlresolver,no xbmcswift and xbmcswift2 , no mechanize.,no [removed] no Youtube ,no jtv , no muzu tv, no icefilms and many , many others to!
I can understand what a addon.xml do!

But thanks for your help with testing the addons this help when we have not look right and simple we have forgotten to add a dependencies on the addon.xml!

I plan on making it through all of these eventually. It's a start and I will keep updating this...

I think it's awesome that you keep doing what you do...I was just trying to ask you how to change those things (i.e. how to call the modules into an addon) so that you had less to do, not to insult you


edit:
every time I was finished testing one of these, I deleted all modules but script.module.xbmcaddon, the addon itself, and started over with the next one

@Byron

[byron]

To shoutcast 2 :
Shoutcast 2 is a scriptmodule.xbmcswift2 addon and dersphere=sphere have it adapted for me!
That problem is not on xbmcswift 2 .
Have the same Problems with most other newer addons when i it have adapted it give a error Argument 1 must be string or unicode!
The Solutionis to search with print on the parsed url or on the listitem for the error but that is a solution for one or two addons better is we loock why python 2.4 it complete different handled as the main xbmc4xbox python version to fix this issue for all addons what have this error!
This is this wath i do!

have a different version from the Songs.to addon on my testing xmc4xbox with a different python24.zlib to integration libs and functions what python 2.4 not have as example functools ,hashlib and collections module with namedtuple defaultdict and ordereddict what the standart python 2.4 not have next what i do is add the fuction from timeout the python 2.5 and later way on the python 2.4 urllib and add a later on python integrated function on the Queue from python 2.4 to addapt the scriptmoduöle requests what bring urllib3 function to python 2 Versions!
i look for reintigration lastfm the pay service the only aviable to xbmc4xbox and a first easy Dropbox integration on Music ,Picture and Video Folder to access the media what we have on you own Dropbox accout! I have addet the addons4xbox installer on confluence light system sub-menue with the name add-ons to follow more the main xbmc way! then i look why the python 2.4 userdict no can clear a temp like the main xbmc!
sphere -dersphere is working on Youtube Filme as addon and on a urlresolver with the base on Youtube.dll (_i hat the same idea but spehere do it) i hope i can when he it relased it backward ported to xbmc4xbox!

i am very to interested to integrate the airplay service to xmc4xbox but i must look what bonjour service over the bonjour.py do!

on the hardware site i have make a SlimXbox what i can with little cost bring to the xbmc4xbox user to access money for ask Developer to help xbmc4xbox only on germany!

@ byron!

Sorry , here is the zip https://dl.dropbox.com/u/83714583/%20sk ... client.zip

Copy boxe insperat skin to your xbox skin directory and the rssclient script to your script directory the rssclient standalone is optional!
You must have the Youtube addon installed!
Skin Problems can not access Settings and Power Menu on Homescreen , can not change the view for tumbnails the skin hanging on the Filter!
access the video menue on Home screen will not work!
I have the rssclient basicly working on xbmc4xbox this mean its generate the pictures and you can play the stream ! I look to solve the Problems when the skin is working , the default home videos rss snce given over a yahoo-pipe (you can make your own Yagoo-Pipe) you see the access to the rssclient and yahoo pipe on the home.xml from the Skin!
You can the rssclient access on your own skins!
Nice where Different Themes on the homescreen for the icons and background so that the user not only have the default look and can switch to a more modernn metro look!


Thanks Jan
