[Announcement: VideoBull-1.0.0 NOW on fusion !!

Post by Kozz »

Just a quick post here to let any mainbranch xbmc (Frodo +) users know that I've now spoken to our friends on the xbmchub.com site/forum and umOuch has added my mainbranch xbmc repo containing my latest update of the VideoBull addon to their fusion installer.

If you use main xbmc on your devices I highly recommend using the fusion installer to get all the best repositories into xbmc very easily.

Details here http://www.xbmchub.com/blog/2012/04/24/ ... -for-xbmc/


Once you have the fusion setup on xbmc you can add my repository from \Video\repositories\videobull_repository.kozz-2.0.8.zip

Then go back to, Addons > Get Addons and you will see Kozz Addons, from there simply choose Kozz Addons > Video Addons and you will see VideoBull, choose it then press install.

If you get a blank listing inside Kozz Addons, go to the page that says Kozz Addons and also has xbmc.org addons and any other repos you have added, right-click and choose "Force Refresh", then look in Kozz Addons and the list will be there

I hope to edit this post soon and include better instructions along with images, or maybe even a video guide for those who need it

Enjoy,

no feedback?
this is really really good. one of the best video streaming plugins i've seen. fast, stable, and adds restart points automatically. superb! thanks.

Thanks for the feedback, whufclee has also given some positive words on it over on my thread at xbmchub. Glad people are getting to enjoy it on the xbox too.

I finally got around to tiding up most of the code, originally was about 640 lines of code, and now I've managed to ditch the 26 separate functions for the way it used to list the A-Z listings, also I fixed up the show title that displays in the playing bar of xbmc. The old method was trying to cache the title when your on the source selection menu then try to re fetch it from cache before playback starts/ and this was causing the urlresolver ro take a longer time than usual to begin playback.

Well I hope it still works great for you guys on abox as I have only test ran the updated version on Frodo

Enjoy version 1.0.2 .... Im about to commit it to the addons4xbox installer repo for the rest of you to enjoy

Cheers

Arrr nuts, your issue is because the Metadata is enabled in the plugin settings, it should be off by default on the xbox, I might have merged the settings.xml with the one on my Frodo repo. Can you try turning it off and see what happens?

I have to run out the door to work, I'm going to revert to the previous default.py for now, I'll post back here once its sorted

it seemed to be off, but yes after going to settings and OK (not changing anything), it now loads videos ok. defaults not set properly?

edit: sorry no, 102 doesn't work. not sure why it worked once, doesn't any more. weird. crashes like that when loading streams.
