Jan'sEnglishXBMC4XBOX PLEASE NOT INSTALL - IS OUTDATED

[skatulskijean]

with the adapted Version (3.1.0 from Eden) works all what works on youtube addon on main xbmx (Eden) on Xbox to!!!
What not works is the login!!!

Why: We have on xbmc4xbox a outdated python Version!!
On xbmc4xbox we have 2.4.6 on main Xbmc have Version 2.7!

When i will Login to youtube on this Days with python 2.4.6 it will not work!

Why: Urllib2, urllib, socket BaseHTTPServer and others from xbmc4xbox python since no more nice for develeopment in this Day's!
the internet technic is not the same we for two years.The Developer follow and Update Python to 2.7 what works in this Time!

With the 3.10 adapted Version from Youtube addon can you on moment not Login!!!!!
But when you copy the settings from your xbmc from Pc it will works a smal Time!
Problem is that xbmc4xbox can not read the tooken complete (it is not a time out or unicode problem!)
The 3.10 Version from Youtube is on my next jan's EnglishXbmc4xbox!

Ok, thank you for the detailled explanation, I hope XBMC4XBOX will upgrade soon to python 2.7.
There was indeed a time when a simple session cookie would be enough but now...
Maybe you could help, with the version 2.1.4 I had a favourite which was showing all the video of a user and it was working, now it fails
Maybe you would have an idea how I could make it work on the version 3 ?
Here it is :

Code: Select all

ActivateWindow(10024,"plugin://video/YouTube/?path=/root/favorites&feed=subscriptions_uploads&view_mode=subscriptions_uploads&channel=france24")

Anyone know a way to cache video stream to hard disk when [removed] is buffering alot?

Basically save video stream cache to hard disk so it downloads entire video source so you can watch it when stream has buffer issues.

Thanks

I think the xbox have not the Power for this best option where we have full 128MB Ram working on xbmc4xbox !

what for a skin have you working on your xbmc?

[nuttypro69]

Im having problems playing many streams, after selecting stream it just returns to previous screen, No errors though. This is brand new install of JansXbmc.

Looks like maybe issue with metahandlers.

Here is my log file.

Same streams working fine on my computer running xbmc and [removed].

Thanks for looking

Could not of came at a better time. Just saw this post.

Mosaic skin didnt help with stream not playing just so you know.

prebuffering to the hard drive should not effect the ram in our box, just hard drive storage. I don't think our box supports this feature yet, just mainline xbmc.

[BuZz]

nightly builds support caching to disk. will only work up to certain size files (fs limit) and it's only had minimal testing

setting <cachemembuffersize> to 0 in http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Us ... ttings.xml

[whufclee]

Thanks buzz, this is indeed good news - I hadn't realised you'd implemented that. Out of curiosity do you know what the filesize limit is?

[BuZz]

4294967295 bytes I think

[whufclee]

Ok so the standard FATX limit of 4Gb, nice. I don't really understand how cache works, well I get the basics of it but lets say for example I wanted to stream a video that's 700MB... if I set cache to 700MB would I have to wait for the cache to be full before playing?

Also once I've watched the video would the files in cache be useable again (eg would the video now be saved in cache so I could copy it to another location for viewing again)? I presume it won't be in a useable state but thought I'd ask, would be very nice if it was!

Sorry for such noob questions but it's really not my thing

[skatulskijean]

Sorry my new Jan'sXbmc4Xbox come tomorow!!

best thing regarding cache size is to experiment, the cache im referrring to is the vfs cache, which isnt required to be full to play afaik. I backported the updated cache code, but with cache to disk mode, ive not given it much testing etc.

it wont do as you want though regarding keeping the file. some more code would be needed for something like that.

[whufclee]

Thanks, yeah I done about two full days of testing mplayer and dvdplayer on different cache sizes last year (or the year before, I forget). Absolute waste of my time as the default settings actually worked best for my needs - not surprising really, I suppose they are default for a reason!

[BuZz]

worth mentioning, that the cache membuffersize is a cache for the vfs - ie, samba, ftp, http etc. the dvdplayer cache is an other layer on top. so you would probably see more effect from the vfs cache if there was an issue with data coming in badly, such as a website that say was quick, then slow. however we have so little ram free, the amount that would make a real difference say - 20mb+ for the vfs cache we don't have.
