Hello/Moi,
Are you making TVKaista plugin for Plex .9? For me it’s the most important plugin, i use it all the time. Thank you so much for that plugin for Plex .8, would love to see it on .9 as well.

No need to develop anything new. It works like a charm on Plex9. It just disappeared from the Appstore, but you can do it manually just as easy:
Download plug-in here: Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.
And copy the “bundle” file into ~/Library/Application Support/Plex/plugins/video
Start plex and tvkaista, punch in the settings, exit plex.
Restart plex and tvkaista should work!
renalt130 is right, works like before in .9. I'll resubmit it for appstore review when i have the time, don't know why it was removed...
Happy my work is appreciated! :)
Oh, thank you for the info, i’ll “install” it at once
bassM, your work is greatly appreciated 
Great work. Thanks for the plugin. You saved my day. I was just about to start investigate possibilities on implementing something like this for TVKaista.
I peeked the code and was really surprised how small it is!
I agree on the thumbnails, they are usually taken from a frame that has no meaning.
Some feature suggestions:
[list]
[*] 8Mbits/s original non-re-encoded format would be nice to have.
[*] History database for already viewed titles
[*] Movie age ratings in descriptions (http://www.vet.fi/, movie search site seems to be down)
|*] Optional double title removal (u)
[*] TV series support. Might need changes to Plex scanners.
[/list]
Thanks for the great work… is there any possibility to get the .ts support?
Have not been able to develop tvkaista plugin further due to busy schedule.
The higher bitrate videoformats require a switch to mediaRSS (not a huge deal).
.ts support is problematic because of limitations in plex with streaming media, I currently don't know if it's possible.
Suggestions on how to fix this are welcome!
The code for the plugin is simple and small (found here: http://code.google.com/p/plex-tvkaista-plugin/), contributions welcome ;)
Currently working on a android app for tvkaista (I don't particularily like the one already on the market), to be released soon!
After long break a big new r6-beta is available, might be final r6 if no bugs reported!
Uses new api, displays thumbnails and supports all formats!
Known bugs:
*Some titles missing scandinavian characters, upstream problem.
*Some titles have illegal characters, workaround added → should not be a problem! Probably upstream (?).
Test and report!
Final available soon!
TVKaista Downloads @ google code
Thanks and enjoy!
Uh oh, this is frustrating…
The new version gets overwritten by the one available in plex online…
Ideas?
Edit: making the bundle read-only might have solved it…
This is ofcourse only temporary until the new version gets added to plex online!
1.00 released, hopefully soon available from plex online!
Thanks for the plugin. However, I keep getting ‘Error while opening file’ error. Any idea why?
@bassM: We’re in the middle of upgrading all the current plugins to work with the newer version of the Plex framework. Can you please have a look at the updated TVKaista plugin and see if everything works as expected?

I can't seem to reproduce that error. Have you tried different bitrates? Does it occur on all available videos?
No, it does not work properly!
I'll look into it.
Ok, I have it working with new framework!
The GetThumb(url) function doesn't work (probably because of http basic auth that tvkaista is using).
<br />
#dir.Append(VideoItem(videoUrl, title, subtitle=formatdate(timegm(entry.updated_parsed), True), summary=description, thumb=Function(GetThumb, url=thumbUrl))) # Dates in localtime<br />
dir.Append(VideoItem(videoUrl, title, subtitle=formatdate(timegm(entry.updated_parsed), True), summary=description, thumb=thumbUrl)) # Dates in localtime
<- replacing thumb=Function(GetThumb, url=thumbUrl) with thumb=thumbUrl fixes it, reason why I should use GetThumb insted?
While I'm at it, any suggestions how to fix the titles provided by tvkaista?
Getting this error without the workaround i'm using (that should not be needed):
4/14/11 1:00:03 PM com.plexapp.mediaserver[124] UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0x89 in position 3: unexpected code byte
Yes, it did occur with different bitrates and on all available videos. In the meantime I installed version 1.10 and also changed my password on TVkaista.com (and in the plugin settings), resulting in not being able to connect to the service at all. Here's the error message appearing in Plex.log:
23:14:50 T:2694206784 M:579108864 ERROR: CGUIMediaWindow::GetDirectory(http://127.0.0.1:32400/video/tvkaista/:/function/getMenu?function_args=Y2VyZWFsMQozCmRpY3QKZGljdApQTVMuT2JqZWN0cy5JdGVtSW5mb1JlY29yZAoyCnM0NQpodHRwOi8vd3d3LnR2a2Fpc3RhLmZpL2ZlZWRiZXRhL3NlYXNvbnBhc3Nlcy9zMwp1cmxyMgpzNgpzZW5kZXI0CnM3ClNlYXNvbnNzOQppdGVtVGl0bGVzOApUVkthaXN0YXM2CnRpdGxlMW5zNgp0aXRsZTJzNDMKL3ZpZGVvL3R2a2Fpc3RhLzovcmVzb3VyY2VzL2FydC1kZWZhdWx0LmpwZ3MzCmFydHIxCnIwCg__/) failed<br />
And TVkaista.log says:

What could be going on here?
Hello,
Using the latest 1.1 version of this great plugin and it seems something is broken (could be just on my end)
When i go to channels, i see my channels, but clicking any channels won’t do anything, it just stays on the channel list…
Any ideas?
thank you

I had the same problem, but it can be fixed!
Open the TVKaista.bundle contents. Edit the \Contents\Code\__init__.py file.
Change the line ROOT_URL = "http://www.tvkaista.fi/feedbeta/"
to read ROOT_URL = "http://www.tvkaista.fi/feed/"
In other words, remove the beta text from the URL.
Save the file, it should now work.
Regards,
Pekka.
Could someone please test this and report to the open issue on google code, this is probably all that’s needed but I’m not able to test it.

This fixes the "programs not showing up bug", but the Plex seems to go and change it back. How do I prevent this?
