XBMC Scripts and Plugins

This line:

from mechanize import Browser

Is throwing an error when I run the script.

Import Error: No module named mechanize

The mechanize package is now included in version 1F.

I get

Error

Python script failed:

special://home/scripts/utorrent/default.py

Are you using version 1F? Could you post a debug log at http://pastebin.com? That will help more!

Token authentication is not enabled yet, however it will be.

Right now, I don't have enough info to tell you more.

Soz my previous post wasn't very useful because I was busy at the time.

I don't actually use XBMC. I just have it for testing purposes. So it's not important for me to get it to work but if I can help you track down a bug that might be in your app then lemme know.

Yes, I was using 1F.

Here is my bug log: http://pastebin.com/m58c0ce47

Looks like it has all the relevant information (my OS, etc).

It fails with the error I posted earlier when I try to enable it.

Btw, the other XBMC utorrent script you wrote did work.

Lemme know if you want me to try something.

Thank you for the pastebin! I found the problem and included the missing file in an update, version 1G.

Same error again: http://pastebin.com/m322502ab

This time the error is a non-numeric port. Basically, in the plugin settings you need to set the IP to your network IP or the IP of the server running uTorrent. Basically it's working, however, the plugin is reading incorrect data from plugin settings.

Hmmz

You said:

Tue[20:19:13] <f3ar007> LordAlderaan: the error is a non numeric port, did you change the settings in the plugin settings?

Tue[20:19:48] <f3ar007> highlight the plugin and right click then select plugin settings, change localhost to your network ip or whatever ip it is running on

But if I r-click on the plugin I only get two options: Add to Favorites and Show Debug Info. There is no settings option. I guess the settings option is only available if I start the plugin but I can't start the plugin because of the error.

Are you installing the plugin in the scripts folder? That's what it sounds like. The plugin should be in xbmc/plugins/programs folder. Then you might need to enable 'show programs menu' in the options. I will update this post with more information later. Try the plugins folder, and see how it works out!

Got it to work now. I hadn't figured it was a plugin, I thought it was a script just like the other one.

Great idea, and mostly works on my PC, but all the filesizes are listed as 0kb. Looking on the WebUI in a browser shows them correctly. Is this a bug?

No, it's actually a function of XBMC. Basically, each item you see is called a listitem, it is nothing more than info telling XBMC what to display. In this case, title and status of the download. The 0.0Kb you see is the size of the listitem, not the content being downloaded. There is no way to update the size or amount downloaded in real-time, at least within XBMC.

Are you using token auth? or the standard plugin?

Ahh, I see. I'm using the standard plugin - was a bit thrown by the complications of token auth. I assume as I'm using a different port for the WebUI, which is not forwarded by NAT on my router to the outside would, the security implications do not affect me.

I was hoping I could see the real-time status of the downloads (% complete or downloaded Mb) with this plugin. Is this not possible then?

Right now, real-time status is not possible. I can code that feature, it will be available in future releases though. Expect it within a week or so.

That's great to hear - I look forward to the future releases

Someone with good skills willing to pick up this project?

It stops at 97% and then back to the menu

Thanks a lot, have to say it works great with linux's native utorrent-server!!

Getting these errors when trying to launch uTorrent plugin from XBMC, The Web UI client works great from a web browser. What am I doing wrong?
