Channel not showing up after putting in bundle.

Dev Community Dev/API Corner

Hey, I’ve been dabbling in making a simple plex channel.
Basically I wanted to use this site http://sugoideas.com/variety-shows/fengshui/ and take the links and youtube videos in there and just play them.

http://www.pastebin.ca/3058123

This is the code I have written up. It’s based off another plugin. Any thing wrong with it?

But yeah, I was able to use the channel for a second at some point and then it worked until I got up to the video and it said the channel is not responding.

Any idea why the channel isn’t appearing? I put the bundle with contents and code folder all inside plugins folder appdata/local/plex/plugins.

Thank you for any help.

Change
video_url = page_data.xpath("//iframe[@class='youtube-player]/@src")
to
video_url = page_data.xpath("//iframe[@class='youtube-player]/@src")[0]
on line 83. I think that should do the trick.

Thanks sander1, that makes sense and I fixed that.

However, main problem is that the channel won’t show up under channels in plex.

I should be seeing FengShui there, but it’s not showing up. Is there a reason that this could happen?

Update: I was able to fix the problem of the channel not appearing by deleting the cache and data of the channel in the plugin-support folder.

However now I think I’m just having problems with channel responding. After further playing around with it, I was able to figure out that one of the links work. However, for some reason I don’t understand why only that one works.

The src is the xpath I’m trying to get so I did,

def Play(ep_url,ep_title):

oc = ObjectContainer()
pagedata = HTML.ElementFromURL(ep_url)
video_url = pagedata.xpath("//div//span//iframe[@class='youtube-player']/@src")[0]
oc.add(VideoClipObject(url=video_url, title=ep_title))
return oc

Looking at the logs, I get when it works:

And I get when it does channel is not responding.
