News and Feedback on IPTV Stalker "Plus"

#101
I've been trying to get the 'plot' details to work on my local project, but keep running into stray delimiters that are in the database, so I won't release it. I'm not sure what couch potato is doing, but it looks more promising than what I'm running into. I personally don't want other details in the VoD lists, only the title, to reduce clutter, but I would like to have as much metadata available for users to see with the different views.

I am sure it will all come together very nicely in development and time Sir.
I am truly looking forward to these new developments . Hopefully you and couch can get your heads together and come up with a Fantastic end product..I am 100% confident this will occur...and I Thank you both for all your time and help in this project.

Maybe you guys could share a wish/progress/accomplishment list (i.e., define the ideal video add-on, identify the steps necessary to reach that goal and divvy up the coding assignments). That way, you won't tilt the same windmill, and you can share expertise when either of you reach an impasse. This is probably pie-in-the sky, but a suggestion nonetheless.
 
#104
That's a good suggestion. If anyone else has suggestions to improve the video add-on, please feel free to request... someone will figure it out eventually. I just want to make sure that if originates from here (IPTVTALK), we keep the version control as well.

I wouldn't mind anyone doing their own fork of the code, as long as they break off the version chain for "plugin.video.stalker" because the open source license allows it. The problem we had with the cloners is that they kept the internal name, and bumped up the version number, overwriting the legitimate code for our members. Good thing that the cloners have probably given up on the papiao target for easier fishing.

I was using Stalker Papio then for some reason the IPTV stalker updated itself to PLUS along with a new logo etc. I read the post and it says to install a "ZIP". What zip?

On the release thread?

You don't need to reinstall if you see version 10.2.0. You just need to follow the directions on the OP of the release thread to reconfigure the addon.

Yep! It's not perfect (ofc who cares? :D)
The information provided by the server is so limited
There's no fanart image & all the genre are only id numbers (without table list)

They should at least give us the IMDb/TMDb id


UPDATE:
  • Genres' list: solved, which are based on IMDb's list
  • Adding some more infos


UPDATE #2:
  • FanArts: solved, which are pulled from the external source (TMDb's API)
  • Fixing some bugs

I figured out how to get the description and cast loaded after getting rid of junk line feeds, carriage returns, and quotation marks. If your version is more complete, let me know when you want it pushed to the release thread and to the repo.

10.2.1 is now released and posted in the release thread, but may take some time to get to the repo. Version now has details for VoDs, including plot, cast, year, MPAA rating and duration (no movie genre though). Also a minor bug fix, for the Genre titles. This update will force a Clear Cache, and it does take some time to load up the entire VoD cache.

Wow! You've already done your homework very well

actually there's no need to remove those "junks"
you just have to put the plot into a list --> encoding it to json --> let the addon.py decode it back to a list


Also a minor bug fix, for the Genre titles.

I've already created my own json data for all known genres based on IMDb's
You may use it if you want :)
Code:

And here is my personal project progress report (ofc who cares? :D)

UPDATE #3
  • cosmetic stuffs added: icons for media info (video resolution, video codec, audio codec, audio channel, aspect ratio & MPAA's rating)
  • still searching for a bug (if any)

UPDATE #4

  • Pulling all PPV movies into the VoD group
  • Playing hide & seek with the bugs

The genre list "bug" was actually one that had bothered me from when the add-on was first released...anyone ever get bothered by "Children'S"?

@couch potato, again thanks for your contribution. I'm not sure if there would be a demand for it, but a separate add-on might be useful for VoDs, or at least separate pages for IPTV and VoD (the first page after the portal selection would probably be easy), and on the VoD page, make it look like most of the other movie add-ons out there, with years, genres, etc. It would be nice to just scrape all metadata from the built-in add-on that is meant for a user's own movie collection than depending on the NFPS metadata.

The other project requested will be to make a customizable m3u served list, so that users could use a 'favorites' load to PVR Simple Client, or to their external apps.

Thank you Sir for all your time and help...How can I incorporate this pastebin file into the add-on to acquire the genre list?
Where does this go in the 10.2.1 file system. ?
I suspect it needs to be inserted somewhere in the addon.py file but unsure exactly where to input this? if this is correct. I would appreciate what line to look to in notepad edit++

As for your latest developments I think it looks Fantastic! and your layout looks very classy...I would like this.

Thank you both for all your time and work in this Excellent project.

The pastebin is only a "json" that would be used to look up the genres coming from the server. You can't just drop them into the addon.py, they need to be coded for, in two different modules. He did the research on the different genres, now I just have to figure out how to get it into the code which isn't that hard ... but I also have to do my taxes as well :(

Ok Thank you for the explanation dara.

Thank you again for your time and help..............Taxes are the priority! unfortunately...:( But I will be really looking forward to implementation of this feature when you find some precious time on your hands.

Thank you again for all your time and efforts Sir.

Damn the taxes... :) I usually file an extension, just have to figure out my liability. 10.2.2 is getting pushed to the repo, with the genre, and is now in the release thread as well. I'm not going to do the icons, at least for now.
