View Full Version : username:password urls
Okay so my first script is almost completely done but it has this bug that forces users to change password something that doesn't contain punctuation before using this plugin.
So if password has punctuation something like that there's in the start or end of password some punctuation, it cannot find the right address to resolve.
This might be basic python question, not relative to xbmc but i asked here anyways.. Sorry. :D
urlii = 'http://%s:%s@www.tvkaista.fi/netpvr/Download/%s.%s' % (xbmcplugin.getSetting("username"), xbmcplugin.getSetting("password"), progurl, bitrate)

URL encode the uname and pass?
Didn't get it but taking a look on functions of urllib found me solution to my problem. Thanks! :laugh:
Sorry if posting doubles isn't allowed but this is necessary that topic would get attention again.
It seems that my solution works on Windows, but not on Xbox.
I modfied variable of url to this which became the solution of the previous problem:
urlii = 'http://%s:%s@www.tvkaista.fi/netpvr/Download/%s.%s' % (urllib.quote(xbmcplugin.getSetting("username")), urllib.quote(xbmcplugin.getSetting("password")), urls, bitrate())

22:22:38 M: 31887360 DEBUG: msg: Authentication failed. Please use the -user and -passwd options to provide your
username/password for a list of URLs, or form an URL like:
http://username:password@hostname/file
And it works on xbox if password hasn't got punctutation in the start/end.

What exactly is the xbox's output when you do urllib.quote(xbmcplugin.getSetting("username"))? use print or xbmc.log to figure it out. If it is correctly changing the string then you've got a problem elsewhere.
Is it only punctuation at the start/end, or can it be anywhere?
What exactly is the punctuation? If it is non-ascii characters, that MIGHT be a problem? Not really sure there as I've only programed for English.
Okay it seems that it can authenticate properly because it forwards to it's right address:
