hey buddy...you are missing this on your addon.xml for a4x install (tested on 3.3 beta)

Code: Select all

installed the module and it works...also, VideoBull/resources/language/english/strings.xml is empty (plugin settings has no labels) Working multiplatforms isn't easy I'm sure, just what I noticed from this one...

cheers

any chances of getting more pages added to the recent videos?

[Kozz]

Hey guys, sorry for the late response just been busy at work on longer shifts than usual,
I'll have a look in the repo to see what I might have broke really soon, and yeah I could add more pages to the recently added section, ideally I'd like to have it list everything but have a "Next Page" item at the bottom of the list. I just havn't worked out the code to make that happen yet

[byron]

downloaded from repo with version r31744 (not sure when that revision was made), and worked OTB....not any more. This is a nice addon, will you update for us please?

[Kozz]

Did you install from the Addons4Xbox installer? The last time I installed on a clean empty build I do believe it was working, can you confirm?

[byron]

I sure can (fresh install with r31783...install from a4x)

and at that point I don't know which module to install

[skatulskijean]

I think i help out!

The commoncache with the storage server will not works on xbmc4xboxc and we handle it we on Dharma to with a storageserverdummy on the addon self!
I think the Solution is copy the storageserverdummy from the as example youtube addon or jtv addon from our repo to the Vidbull ditectory!

Regards Jan

[byron]

@jan...sounds good buddy. Just so you are aware, I copied the modules from r31744 (when I originally installed the addon working OTB) to r31783 and it still works with those modules, just not working OTB on this revision.

thanks,

byron

Ok everything is all fixed up again

Feel free to check it again if you like

[Kozz]

I just had a closer look, and merged the code to my Frodo version, for now I just commented out 2 lines that are used to call the mainbranch metahandlers libs, but these are not available to us on the xbox platform, In the future I will re-write it to have an if statement like " if platform =xbox then dont import meta handlers "

All seems to work fine, with the exception of a few errors tossed up from some of the Putlocker / Sockshare sources, I dont see it happening on Frodo with the same video and source so this might be due to the fact that something in the upstream url resolver module has been updated once again and ours might be ready for yet another update

Let me know how its working on xbox for you guys

Cheers

[UPDATE|June16/13]

I've begun to re-write the VideoBull plugin to make it a little more modern and try to include things like displaying the title of the show during playback etc, But for the meantime I have pushed an updated version with a couple minor updates, You can now access the Resolver Settings from the main menu and you will want to Disable the "Realdebrid" AND "RPnet" resolvers to get Putlocker / Sockshare sources to play, you can change the settings from the [removed] resolver settings menu too it does not matter the resolver settings stay set the way you want across all of the plugins that access it.

The other change was just to delay the call to import the urlresolver until the plugin actually needs it to play a source, This greatly improves performance in launching the plugin and browsing the listings

So just a small update for everyone now until I can afford more time to polish it further

Enjoy

[byron]

Yea it's working now (just tested it out on r31787), much thanks for the fix. MovShare seems to be reliable...that's the first source I clicked that worked moving down the list...

[Kozz]

Excellent, and thanks for letting me know, be sure to post any more issues you find

Cheers

hi kozz,

i was curious on the plugin so I installed today via the repo. that went smoothly
I turned metadata off before it booted - but I still can't get it to run?

heres the log:http://pastebin.com/1GiMX4nd

Btw I am running 3.2.1 - only because 3.3 failed to run my xmugen game: http://www.xbmc4xbox.org.uk/forum/viewt ... f=6&t=1158
I am trying to avoid an upgrade? Maybe that's nothing to do with it

cheers

[Dom DXecutioner]

It looks like a dependency issue, metahandler module is referencing the elementtree module but it hasn't been installed to your .modules folder; though I could be mistaken...

[cifa]

thanks, I'll look into it & feedback.

[Kozz]

hmmm try removing the old version first along with the userdata for it, I dont think the xbox version imports the metahandlers library so just install the version 0.2.9 from the xbmc4xbox repo thats in the addons4xbox installer and not the verison from the kozz-addons repo since its for Frodo + and does some extra metadata magic to fetch thumbs in the A-Z lists

[Kozz]

new version released see OP for details

[Aug 19 / 2013] Version -1.1.0 is out, see original post for details
