XBMC add-on fixed for Frodo

[geofstro]

HI All,

I find XBMC to be the best experience on a Mac or PC for interacting with my remote Subsonic server. I wanted to try it with the pre-Alpha builds of XBMC Frodo to take advantage of the new audio engine. The Subsonic script failed and the guy who wrote it (t0mm0) seems to have disappeared. I debugged and corrected it (very easy) and for those of you who are interested here's a link to the new files:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/86110007/Subso ... 0Frodo.zip

Unzip it, place the plugin.audio.subsonic file in your XBMC addons folder and place the advanced settings.xml file in your XBMC userdata folder.

Configure the addon as with the previous version.

Enjoy!

Hello, this is the month that I looking to find a solution to this error message "script failed" but my problem is the module with video subsonic script: https://github.com/darkip/t0mm0-xbmc -plugins/tree/master/plugin.video.subsonic
I tried to contact him, same answer over.
Could you help me if it pleases you. A big thank you. sorry for my english

Open the .py files with a text editor and search for any instances of Addon.log and replace them with xbmc.log.

Make back up copies of the original files before you attempt this.

This might fix it for you.

thank you for your answer. I tried as mentioned, unfortunately I still have the same problem (plugin.video.subsonic) "script failed". Again thank you for your efforts and your sharing. If you ever had another track.

your audio plugin version works very well, the video plugin does not work, despite changes in your tutorial

I havent tested mine on Frodo but it works on Eden. If you test it out let me know how it works.

At first it wouldn't start for me on Frodo without a script error. I debugged it and found a few bugs which I corrected, such as remaining references to Addon.log and a syntax error or two.

Here is the link to my version: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/86110007/plugi ... bsonic.zip

I still couldn't get it to play any videos though. I copied some .flv files to my server, which I figured should stream via xbmc using this add-on; but I couldn't figure out how to get them to play. Perhaps it's me, because I only really use XBMC for audio.

It would be good to get video working though, so any advice will be appreciated.

Hello Geofstro , you're great, your plugin works almost last. No message "script error" . I see directory subsonic online, when I get home against a folder I get the error "returned no subsonic content" I do not see the movie file. Again thank you for your big advanced
I use XBMC 12.0 Alpha 7 raspbmc

I've just tested one of the videos on your server and it's now working fine for me. At first it didn't, then I turned transcoding on with the value at 720k. You might need to play around with the transcoding settings.

I also had that error "returned no subsonic content" on my own server. For some reason changing the folder structure seemed to cure this. I have a "Movies" folder then a genre folder nested in that with the videos inside. I set my subsonic media folder to the top level "Movies" folder and scanned the media folders from the web interface.

I'm not sure if that really cured it or if it is just a random error.

So my advice is to play around with transcoding settings in the video configuration and possibly the folder structure on your server until you get them to play.

My testing was carried out under Frodo.

Again thank you for your work, in fact it was the tree of subsonic server. Everything is now operational and functional. Again, a big thank you for your help, really.

[geofstro]

You're welcome! I really did very little to clean up the code, was very easy. Glad it helped you.

You're welcome! I really did very little to clean up the code, was very easy. Glad it helped you.

Looks like you took the code from the one I redid, not mad but would you want to work on this together? This way we have one spot/repository where all of the code is at. Have you ever used github?

[geofstro]

Yep, I just downloaded your version from your previous post and worked on that. Sure I'll be happy to work with you. I'm no expert on video streaming though. The only reason I knew how to fix this was, having already fixed t0mm0's original audio version last week.

Never used github and, of course, I'm happy to give it a try.

[nutt318]

just sent you a PM

[intexsys]

Keep us informed of your common developments, thank you
