Help with first plugin

Dev Community Dev/API Corner

Hi all,

I’ve decided to try and write a plugin that streams flash video from http://lapti.tv

after writing the site config file and the plugin itself I’ve managed to put it into plex. But whenever i select the video channel i want to play, all I get is a black screen, without any video/audio, and no way to pause the time showing on the plex bar (although that isn’t really needed right now).

I’m thinking that the black screen is from the .swf plugin in the siteconfig, but I’m not sure about that.



Here is the site config xml file


<br />
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><br />
<site site="http://www.lapti.tv"<br />
		plugin="http://lapti.tv/uppod.swf"<br />
		initialState="paused"<br />
		version="1.0"><br />
		<br />
		<!-- PLAYING --><br />
		<state name="playing"><br />
		  <event><br />
		   <condition><br />
			<command name="pause" /><br />
		   </condition><br />
		   <action><br />
			<click x="16" y="234" /><br />
			<goto state="paused" /><br />
		   </action><br />
		  </event><br />
		 </state><br />
		 <br />
		 <!-- PAUSED --><br />
		 <state name="paused"><br />
		  <event><br />
		   <condition><br />
			<command name="play" /><br />
		   </condition><br />
		   <action><br />
			<click x="16" y="234" /><br />
			<goto state="playing" /><br />
		   </action><br />
		  </event><br />
		 </state><br />
	<br />
<br />
<br />
</site><br />
<br />



And here is the plex media server log

on the plugin log all I'm getting is:

<br />
DEBUG (core:318) - Response: 200<br />

and thats where it ends there.

I would appreciate any input you could give me.

Thanks, and have a great week!

Hi Mike,



The site configuration file is used when launching a WebVideoItem and requires a call to action to the URL you’re attempting to load. This is done by adding a state with the action. I would need more info to help further.
