[RELEASE] Retrospect v4.1.6 (formerly XBMC Online TV)

[Basje]

I recently stumbled upon a rather nasty issue with how I handle settings if you were to install Retrospect on clean machines. As new users might get a none-working Retrospect and might get frustrated, I decided to push a small Retrospect Update. On popular demand, I also added the option to disable the channel update message that appear after a channel update. They can now be disabled via the Retrospect add-on settings.

Note on Kodi Krypton

Kodi Krypton has some focus on security related to third party add-ons and repositories. To make users more aware of this, within Kodi Krypton all non-official repositories and add-ons are disabled by default and need to be re-enabled by the user. That way a user gets aware of what add-ons are not Kodi official and where the add-ons are coming from. As you are (or should be) aware of, Retrospect is such a third party add-on that uses its own repository. Therefore you will need to re-enable the Retrospect Repository and Retrospect itself. More information on how this Kodi features affects Retrospects and updates can be read here. As a reminder:

!! Retrospect should only be installed from the official Retrospect repository !!
Please read the installation instructions

The only official and safe way of installing Retrospect is via the official repository using the official installation instructions. if installed from other locations, we cannot guarantee the quality or safety of the code of the add-on. In other words: code might have been injected if you download it via alternative sources.

Maybe you should download it, install it, use it and if you still don't know what it is, then ask!

Go to the website (http://www.rieter.net/pages/XOT:Uzg) and you can read it there. You should have found this by searching XOT-Uzg on Google.

Try running XOT-Uzg.v3 as a plugin. It saves a lot of memory.

I tried to install this on my xbox but all it said was that I needed to update xbmc to Frodo (from Eden). I think I have the 3.2 release of xbmc but that's not enough? Is there any other way to run xot?

Thanks in advance!

[Basje]

Some channels will work better on Frodo. The addon should work on XBMC on Xbox.

Developers from addon and plugins make he addons (plugins,scripts) for main xbmc ( Eden, next is Frodo)!

Thanks a lot!

How do you prefer to install XOT on an xbox? I couldn't find it in the xbox-addons-plugin. But I might have screwed my install up a bit as well Are you always running nightly or the stable branch?

Can you please explain a bit more in detail how I install it for SVT.se? I don't really get it

See here http://www.rieter.net/pages/XOT:Installation.

I installed it as a plugin on XBMC4Xbox. But I'm still having problems with getting it to work with SVT.se.

XOT-Uzg.v3 already has it's own official Eden Repository. See here http://www.rieter.net/pages/XOT:Installation. And the fact that streams do not work on a specific version has nothing to do with the script, but with XBMC not handling the stream correctly.

Besides that: This is the XBMC4Xbox thread. Please don't post questions related to XBMC (so not for Xbox) here.

Today i updated to 3.3.3 after removing the version 3.2 that is in jan's building.

In jan's version there were many links that worked,only now in 3.3 it says no playable files found.
The only things that seems to work are the streams that are in TV.nl.

So i was wondering who else has the same problems and what am i doing wrong?

Well, I guess that was bound to happen, as the Xbox XBMC really is starting to fall behind on the others. Could you please enable DEBUG logging within XOT-Uzg.v3 and then try to play some streams. After that, post the uzgplugin.log and uzgplugin.old.log in pastbin.com. So I can have a look.

[btbd82]

Thanx for the reply!

I've made the logs,only i did not know how to work with pastebin
So i uploaded the text files through the link.

Ps.you asked me to open links,only there are no links to open.(only in TV.NL)
For the rest are the dutch maps showing nothing.

Thanks, could you please try this:

• Find the mediaitem.py file in the net.rieter.xot\resources\libs\ path
• Create a backup of that file
• Download the attachement and extract the mediaitem.py
• Replace it with the attached new version
• Test if it works now

Let me know the result.

[btbd82]

Great this works!
Only sbs6,net5 and veronica are still empty,the rest is working

Thanks for the effort!
