Hello people,
I just discovered Plex and started creating a plugin. I’ve used some other scripts to create what I have now.

DUMPERT_PLUGIN_PREFIX = "/video/Dumpert"<br />
DUMPERT_ROOT = "http://www.dumpert.nl/"<br />
DUMPERT_HIGH_RATED = DUMPERT_ROOT + "toppers/"<br />
DUMPERT_FLV_URL = DUMPERT_ROOT + "mediabase/flv/%s/.mov.flv"<br />
<br />
DUMPERT_BY_RANK = "dumpert-toppers"<br />
DUMPERT_GET_MOVIE = "dumpert-fetch"<br />
<br />
# this is a patch for feedparser.py to handle the yahoo/media namespace.<br />
def _start_media_thumbnail(self, attrsD):<br />
context = self._getContext()<br />
context.setdefault('media_thumbnail', [])<br />
context['media_thumbnail'].append(attrsD)<br />
RSS.feedparser._FeedParserMixin._start_media_thumbnail = _start_media_thumbnail<br />

<br />
episodeObjs = site.xpath('//div[@id="filmcontainer"]/a')<br />
numEpisodes = len(episodeObjs)<br />
for episode in range(0,numEpisodes):<br />
episodeObj = episodeObjs[episode-1]<br />

name = episodeObjs[episode-1].xpath('//h3')[episode].text<br />

<br />
#video = VideoItem(str("http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/flv/a60913e3_hanneke.mov.flv"), name, desc, "", thumbUrl)<br />
#video = WebVideoItem(str(url), name, name, "", _R("icon-default.png"))<br />
#itempath = DUMPERT_PLUGIN_PREFIX + "/" + DUMPERT_GET_MOVIE +"/" + base64.b64encode(url, "_;")<br />
#item = VideoItem(itempath, name, desc, "", thumbUrl)<br />
<br />
item = DirectoryItem(DUMPERT_PLUGIN_PREFIX + "/" + DUMPERT_GET_MOVIE + "/" + base64.b64encode(url, "_;"), name, thumbUrl, desc)<br />
item.SetAttr("subtitle", date)<br />
<br />
dir.AppendItem(item) <br />
<br />
return dir.ToXML()
My problem is: I want that when you click a DirectoryItem from the getMoviesByRank section it starts playing an FLV. I can figure out by myself how to find the FLV url I think, but now I need help how to start playing an FLV movie.
I hope someone can help me because I could not find any documentation.
I know the code here is not working, the dumpertVideo function is not working. This is just to show you what I had.
Greetings,
Matthijs
