Addon status plugins

[sixties keith]

Just noticed there is no mention of a number
Of plugins in that section and just wondering if they
Are still supported?

- tvcatchup
- bbc iplayer
- itv player
- 4od
- demand 5

These are just a few but I know of others
For videos and maybe some music ones as well

noticed nobody has replied, are these plugins still supported etc or is it much like the coinops project where the users are no longer playing fair (you know what i mean)

iplayer is supported - get it from hitcher's repo.

I'm unsure about the status of the other ones.

ah just noticed the addon status is for the xbmc repo my bad. didnt realise other repos wernt mentioned there.

Would be nice to have the other plugins programs listed as well. if not maybe a small section for the main repos and there most common / used plugins. i know iplayer and tvcatchup would probably be high up there lol

It would be a nice thing I do agree, however our addons in our xbmc4xbox repo each have a few extra lines at the end of each addon.xml, that the Addons Status page pulls its data from

Notice the <statfeed> tags here for Example:

Code: Select all

<addon id="plugin.audio.xmanradio" name="xmanRadio" provider-name="Kozz" version="0.0.5">
  <requires>
    <import addon="xbmc.python" version="2.1.0" />
    <import addon="script.module.simplejson" version="2.0.10" />
  </requires>
  <extension library="default.py" point="xbmc.python.pluginsource">
        <provides>audio</provides>
  </extension>
  <extension point="xbmc.addon.metadata">
    <platform>all</platform>
    <summary>Stream Radio stations to your xbmc enabled devics</summary>
    <description>Listen to xmans favourite local Aussie stations</description>

  </extension>
  <statfeed>
      <working>yes</working>
	  <notes>none</notes>
      <maintainer>kozz</maintainer>
      <thumbnailurl>http://</thumbnailurl>
  </statfeed>
</addon>

This was to make it a fully automated process when we add a new addon to the repo, Nobody needs to do any kind of web editing, the php code looks in our repo and pulls in the thumbnail and information all on its own, and updates the status page every 15 min or so. We don't have access to other peoples repos to add the extra statfeed tags to the xml files for each adddon and there are too many abandoned addons in too many repos. Whufclee and I attempted to test every single one from every unoffical repo a few years back on the old forum, but the simple fact is there are just too many.

If anyone has the time they are more than welcome to try, the list is here http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Unofficial_ ... positories

besides that we wanted to keep our repo with upto date and working addons only, its too hard to keep 400+ working (Quality over Quantity)

If anyone wants to, there welcome to make a list in a thread and if there are addons worth putting into our repo we may consider it, But as it is now its getting hard to look after the 45+ we currently have between Jan and I
