PleXBMC client for XBMC

New release links have been added now.



When I try to use it, it stops working. Later I'll post the exact error message. I've installed it form the zip package, same as in Windows.

When I try to connect to Plex, it doesn’t show any section of mine, only “myplex queue”. If i try to click there, it shows: “Fallo en el script: plugin.video.xbmc”.



any hint?



If you could post up a xbmc.log file or cut and paste out the error messages then I can see what's causing the problem. On android it one of these locations:

/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/cache/temp/xbmc.log
/sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/cache/temp/xbmc.log
/data/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/cache/temp/xbmc.log

You can pm me the log file or If you get the script failure messages, then look for these type of lines and paste up the full messages just after.

I’ve had good results so far with 3.0.4 and 0.7.2 this evening. The time between selecting a file and playback has dropped so that’s nice. One thing I’ve noticed is that the watched status icons don’t always show up. It seems like they’re visible on the main list of TV Shows but after drilling into the show folder they’re no longer visible.



Yeah, tv watched status is still a bit off. In frodo, XBMC has taken away some of the control I had over the flags ( it tries to set it itself now, which doesn't always work for plexbmc). I'll have another look at it.


Found it - I had left in some PleXBMC 2.X code in the skin which was n longer required and was stopping (for some reason) the display of the status.

Would it be possible to hide seasons or even entire series that have been watched, when “hide watched” is enabled, the same way that XBMC does? E.g. if I have watched ALL episodes of “24”, don’t even show “24” in the list of series. If I have watched 6 of 8 seasons of “24”, still show “24” in the list of series, but only show season 7-8 in the list of seasons for the show?



Thanks.



If you have "enable extra filter menus" enabled under "look and feel" you should get the Plex-style filter menu that lets you hide watched shows.


I thought it was working, but it looks like it's only at the episode level, rather than season and show level. To be honest, I'm not sure what criteria XBMC uses to use this filter action.

The best bet might be, as lockdown571 says, to use the "unwatched" filter menu item (which is only the second item in the filter menu), which will just display the outstanding stuff. It'll load up quicker too, as there will be less items to process.

Will any other skins be updated for Frodo?



Nice work on the updates for plexbmc btw, much appreciated



From me - possibly. It's just quite hard work maintaining a lot of modded skins.

I can well imagine it is. My skinning skills are limited to minor modifications otherwise I would offer help.



The only reason I ask is that WAF relies on a basic confluence setup!



Confluence is one of the first ones I would do. I assume you mean that current (horizontal) confluence, not the old (vertical) style one?

Yes the horizontal one is perfect.



It’s a shame the XBMC library cannot be fooled into linking into PMS, would save all that work

Thank you so much for this plugin. Without out it I wouldn’t be able to do this:

with my Plex library which makes my home theater have that ‘wow’ factor that I was looking for!



Is that iRule you're running? May I ask how you managed to implement your library like that?

Hi



Just want to say what a great job you are doing.



But I have a problem, it all was working fine, yesterday when I started my PleXBMC it just shows me a blank list (it used to show movies, tv shows, channels).



I checked everything I could but have found no solution, so I was hoping you could help.



See attached my log (Running Windows 8 with Frodo)



Thanks



It's DemoPad actually. That is actually a webpage that I wrote (NodeJS/AngularJS/MongoDB) that pulls the info from my server and I wrote some helper functions that start movies/TV shows on clicking on them for both Plex and PleXBMC (I have both types of clients in my house). I actually have it as a open source project over on GitHub (https://github.com/bob3695/RemoteConnector). It's very much in a beta stage but so far it can pull movies and TV shows and sync remote state for DemoPad. The website would work with iRule without an issue but I don't the syncing of remote state would do iRule users any good.


Changing the performance profile to "super" caused me to get a kernel panic forcing a reinstall. I believe "super" only works reliably with USB drives. SD cards don't handle the speed increase.

I just ordered a fast usb drive to help with the speed demands. Hopefully that'll help.
