PleXBMC client for XBMC

Woops - left a small bug in for assisted bonjour



So pushed 1.9.3b (available on repo and first page)



CrispyXUK This might also fix the bug with your ATV2, as I’ve put in some code to make sure that the error is handled.

I’ll test when I can, thanks.

This fixed all my issues \o/



Are you developing the skin too? It would be nice if I could use the XBMC plugins at the same time as the plex integration, is there a way around this?

@hippojay



First I want to thank you a lot again! all the work and effort you are putting into this is incredible!



I installed 1.9.3b and the issue with settings is solved. But i still have reverse sorting, but only in the movies sections, not in the shows. How are the chances that you can fix the reverse sorting issue?



I looked around and couldn't see a way to reverse sort. It could be a setting within XBMC you have set. Could you check the movies page, slide out the left hand side menu (where you select views) and see if there is a sort direction there?


Yeah, I think I'm going to add back in the XBMC menu, which should give you access to all that.

I dod check it but there was no sort direction at all. Weird is that it only appears with the 1.9.3(a/B) version of the plugin. I never had that issue before, neither did I change any option when I installed 1.9.3.

I found this on XBMC.org, give it a go and see if it fixes the problem:

You should find the settings file in ~/Library/Application Support/XBMC/userdata



And the db file in ~/Library/Application Support/XBMC/userdata/Database

You’re the man! This totally worked! Thank you a lot!

Having a problem with playback. Watched 30 minutes of a movie, then the atv rebooted spontaneously. Tried to play the file again, and it rebooted again. Tried other files, and reboot also.



Running 0.9.3b. Any ideas?

No idea. I’d need logs to see what was going on. I do run stuff to monitor playback, so we can feed to back to the media server - but it’s been fine on my OSX client.

No worries, fixed it by changing the streaming setting from auto to http, now everything plays great

Hmm, wonder if there is an issue on ATV with using smb shares. That’s about the only thing I can think of.

New Skin!!



I’ve spend today altering the Cirrus Extended skin to give PleXBMC views from the home menu, plus easy access to a couple of filter menu options.

I love Cirrus for the media views, which are a whole lot better than the ones provided with

To run this skin you’ll need PleXBMC v1.9.4, which has some extra hooks in it for the cirrus skin.

Link for the skin isn’t working:

:unsure:

Try it again, it weighs in at 108MB so I wrote these posts while it was uploading - so it might not have finished when I did. It’s definitely there though :slight_smile:



btw, this skin has more options than I have ever seen in my life. So if you don;t get all the views, check out the skin settings and enable them…

It’s working now. Thank you!

Decided to add further to the skin list, by modding Pecinko’s Quartz skin.

I’ve only just finished it, but it should be find - horizontal menus give me less room to work with. You will need an updated copy of Plexbmc (1.9.4.2) for it to work, which is being pushed out now…

All,



Are there still any outstanding issues that I haven’t addressed yet? Looking around I think this is pretty much working, with the exception of the following known issues:

[list]

[] Transcoding on 10.1 doesn’t allow seeking/resume (Fixed: requires pre-eden with m3u8 support)

[
] Video tracks will auto play unless switched off under settings -> music (Fixed: Requires pre-eden support)

[] Plugins based on flash/silverlight don’t work (In progress: Working on fixing at the moment)

[
] Filter by folder doesn’t always work correctly for TV with season folders (no fix)

Spotify plugin doesn’t work (not investigated yet - as I don’t have premium account)

[/list]



PleXBMC is my main client now with the cirrus skin, running XBMC on OSX.

They only issue left for me is that the subtitle downloader sometimes crashes XBMC.



PleXBMC also became my main client thank to the cirrus skin! :slight_smile:



Did you try PleXBMC on Lion? If there are any issues with Lion will you continue working on it?
