"No service found for URL" error when returning VideoClipObject or EpisodeObject with url de

[ikbenben]

Hi there,

 

I'm currently trying to write a channel for AnimeFTW. AnimeFTW has REST services that will return all the meta data for the videos. I have it working to the point where I want to play the video but I keep getting a "No service found for URL" error when I set the url property on either a VideoClipObject or an EpsiodeObject

 

My basic structure is that I have a method that shows a list of episodes for a particular series as per the EpisodeMenu method below:

#############################################################################
@route(PREFIX + '/episodes')
def EpisodeMenu(token, seriesId, seriesTitle, seriesArt = ""):
Log("token: " + token + "; id: " + seriesId + "; seriesTitle: " + seriesTitle + "; seriesArt: " + seriesArt)

# Create list of shows available to be viewed
oc = ObjectContainer()
oc.title1 = seriesTitle

oc.add(EpisodeObject(
	key=Callback(DisplayEpisode, token=token, episodeId="6785", seriesTitle=seriesTitle, seriesArt=seriesArt),
	rating_key="animeftw-6785",
	title="episode 1",
	thumb="https://d206m0dw9i4jjv.cloudfront.net/video-images/eyes_1_screen.jpeg",
	art=seriesArt
))
oc.add(EpisodeObject(
	key=Callback(DisplayEpisode, token=token, episodeId="6786", seriesTitle=seriesTitle, seriesArt=seriesArt),
	rating_key="animeftw-6786",
	title="episode 2",
	thumb="https://d206m0dw9i4jjv.cloudfront.net/video-images/eyes_2_screen.jpeg",
	art=seriesArt
))

return oc

At this point my plugin will show a list of two episodes. I have code to dynamically create this list but I have it commented out at the moment while I play.

 

The callback DisplayEpisode is currently set up to return a VideoClipObject as follows:

@route(PREFIX + '/episode')
def DisplayEpisode(token, episodeId, seriesTitle, seriesArt = ""):
Log("token: " + token + "; id: " + episodeId + "; seriesTitle: " + seriesTitle + "; seriesArt: " + seriesArt)

json_url = BASEURL + "action=display-single-episode&token=" + token + "&id=" + episodeId
episode = JSON.ObjectFromURL(json_url)

Log(episode)

return VideoClipObject(
	url=episode["video"],
	title=episode["epname"],
	thumb=episode["image"]
)

In this case the url is being set to a mkv file, something like "http://videos.animeftw.tv/11eyes/eyes_1_ns.mkv"

When I try to browse the plugin, and play an episode, I get the following error in my log file:

 

DEBUG (services:602) - No service found for URL 'http://videos.animeftw.tv/11eyes/eyes_1_ns.mkv'

 

I've tried different combinations like adding the VideoClipObject to a ObjectContainer and returning the ObjectContainer. I've tried using an EpisodeObject instead of a VideoClipObject, returning it directly or adding it to a ObjectContainer 

 

My understanding is that if you are returning a VideoClipObject, then you don't need to define a service but I'm not so sure now.

 

Does anyone have any insight?

 

Thanks

My understanding is that if you are returning a VideoClipObject, then you don't need to define a service but I'm not so sure now.

It's true that you do not always need to write a URL Service, but the way you need to create the video listings is slightly different. Another user asked the same question a couple of days ago. The same answer applies to you. Hope this helps!

@sander1, Thanks for the response. I've got it working now to the point it is requesting the video. I need to work around a 403 error but will create a separate thread for that.
