PleXBMC client for XBMC

Here are the errors when I try to play netflix. This is selecting something from the Instant Queue. Any ideas?

Does it work when playing back outside of the instant queue?

I can see that the transcoder seems to be working (you get a valid playlist) so I'm guessing that there is nothing on the end for the transcoder to transcode (there is some truncation on the cut and paste, so I can't quite see what was being requested).

It's been a long time since I put out a release - but that's mainly because i've been testing the data caching - which is a rather large change.

Manual Installs only at the moment, will push out after they have been proved to be stable for all.

EDIT: Doh left the linked file as the old one. corrected

HJ, are you sure about those links?

In version 3.2.1 subtitles download stopped working on OS X as well, script get's fired up AFTER watching video.

I can't get anything to play in netflix, whether it be from Instant Queue or from browsing, but I can stream my movies from my PMS to the RPi no problem (well, it's a little choppy sometimes, but it works). I'll see if I can get the full path. I got the log via ssh and it only showed the width of the window (full screen) with no word wrap (using Putty->nano). I'll install the updates, try it again, and get the full path. Thanks.

Links worked when I changed them to the new version number.

D'oh - that's what I get for cutting and pasting the template.  I changed the text but forgot to change the link!!

Ok - I'm going back through versions to find the issue.  I have a good idea what change I've made in this area..

EDIT: found it and can correct it (it was when I split the code into two files, but I've no idea why that should cause this problem)

EDIT 2: Ok - new version 3.2.2 uploaded: https://repository-plexbmc-addons.googlecode.com/files/plugin.video.plexbmc-3.2.2.zip 

I'm asking if you made it possible to include shelves for "Recent" and "On Deck" for our plexbmc shortcuts on the main menu... Like it was actually Plex and my Movies and TV shows shortcuts had Shelves/Widgets above them.

Does the new update include support for "Recent" and "On Deck" shelve items for our Plexbmc menu items in Aeon Nox?

I'm afraid not. I had a look at the latest Aeon Nox skin but it is **extremely[\b] complex. The number of options and settings makes it an exceptional difficult project, which I haven't started yet.

Edit: Ah - this uses skin widgets (which took ages to work out and set up - not really user friendly).  I suppose I could set these values via PleXBMC, not sure what else would be required to make them work though.  

Hello.

I added all metadata for my films with Ember Media Manager and using the XBMC NFO Scraper to get the metadata to PLEX which works fine.

On my linux based Nettop i'm using XBMC with the PlexBmc Addon, but some metadata are not displayed (on the server it's shown correctly and also on a LG tv).

I started with the standard skin confluence, but the Actors are missing, then i have seen the offical skin is Quartz so i changed to that one, but here the field "tagline" ist not displayed, which i often used when there is a triology of a film to seperate them.

What are I am doing wrong? Using Plexbmc v 3.1.4?

Thank you very much

There is a problem with cast in XBMC 12.1 in that it doesn;t get set.  This is an XBMC issue (it got trashed when they did some code migration work - it was supposed to be added back into 12.1 but was forgotten again).

Taglines I'm not sure about, it gets set and they must have been working at one point - i'll double check for you.

Be careful as they would probably get overwritten by widget that run as a service. This means you would still need to set your own properties to be safe. BTW, I'm not sure how often does that part of Nox get updated.

I'm not using Item.Tagline or Item.Plotline in my skins at all.

PleXBMC 3.2.2

I will try this later when I get home as I am having issues with subtitles not showing up at all using myPlex login (watching from my own server but on a remote location).

If it doesn't work, I guess XBMC.logs are needed?

To be exactly: In the Skin Quartz 0.75 for XBMC there is no tagline at all. But I think this has to do with the skin itself. But as it's the recommended one for PlexBMC.

So I thought it's maybe missing. I'm using the Tagline very often. tagline is also a metadata field in Plex and in german speaking countries the tagline is nearly as important than the title itself.

Just an idea.

PS: sorry for the large images

Aeon Nox uses other scripts/plugins now different than the standard Skins. "Extended Info" and "Aeon Nox 4 Extras Downloader" the later has "metadata actors" in it to download and it should pull in the actors....

Hippojay,

I see you made some changes.... "ADD: ondeck and recently released support" is this for any skin? Or just the plexbmc skins that get installed through your repo?

Be careful as they would probably get overwritten by widget that run as a service. This means you would still need to set your own properties to be safe. BTW, I'm not sure how often does that part of Nox get updated.

They use Skin Widgets addon and that doesn't get updated all that often...

I think Peckino was talking about the frequency of library updates.  If the standard XBMC script runs, it will over write the values I set within PleXBMC.  Therefore to use this, the standard XBMC widgets would need to be disabled.

I have written some code to write in the movie recently added, which appears to work when you set the widget to recent Movie.  It's only a basic Proof of concept, but you are free to have a look to see if this is what you mean:

https://github.com/hippojay/plugin.video.plexbmc/tree/widgets

Assuming this work - I would map recent to recently added and recommended to on deck.  I'm not planning on doing random as that functionality isn't readily available in Plex Media Server.

Ok I added this... but I dont get where I go to turn it on...?

I disabled xbmc skin widgets, added "All Movies" from plexbmc to main menu then i put "recent" and "on deck" as sub menus under the "All Movies". Where do add the new plexbmc widget for recent movies to test? I went into the normal widget settings and picked "Latest movies" but its blank....

It’ll only show under an XBMC movie menu heading at the moment - I haven’t looked at adding fully functional menu heading for plexbmc.


As I said its a proof of concept as aeon Nox is extremely complicated.

Sub Menu's don't show Widgets.... How would that work?
