Hello All,

I am a very new user and have tried to create a plugin for

www.filmicity.in

the plugin details can be fould at

http://pastebin.com/f694e2eec

I have following issues:

1. I am able to see list of shows but cannot play them it gives the python error - this is the foremost and most important issue - please guide ..

2. How do I mention in the plugin to show next page option bcos currently it list only the first 45 videos in the fisrt page so how will i see the other videos in other pages

3. On the site the videos are in parts so how do I list all the parts

Please guide

Thanks

Please guide in making this plugin work for www.filmicity.in

Thanks

Some tips:
- Turn on debug logging for xbmc
- look through the log after an error appears
- try to fix any errors before adding more code
- add print statements around your code so you can see what is getting passed through the plugin

Just by looking at the debug log I found your problem in a couple of seconds. I also added "print match" so I can see whats going on.

So each element in the match array has 3 "arguments or parameters", but you are only address 2 (url,name) eg. ('http://i27.tinypic.com/x6alx2.png', '17 Aug Thank You JiJaJi', '17 Aug Thank You JiJaJi') You forgot to include the third argument in the for loop. Replace, "for url,name in match:" in line 34 with "for url,name,trash in match:" This gets the plugin running without errors. It doesn't exactly work because the url you are passing is a image and not a page.

I added a few lines to get the plugin running and playing a video. You still need to find a way to get to the other pages.

btw, I just wanna say thanks and congrats on trying to write your own plugin. :;): Most ppl would just request for a plugin rather than trying to make it for them self.

Thankyou very much for your reply.

I will try the code you have corrected and let you know.

Also I suppose the logs have to be enabled in the xbmc settings and view them in logs folder if there is some other procedure then do let me know.

Thanks

Excellent, the video is working. Thanks a lot

One question before I try to figure out how to get the pages working, the videos have multiple parts and it shows only the first part :

I chose the section in source which shows the videos to play the previous and next video eg - <a href="videos.php?id=14124" > and was written as below so am not sure if that was right to get the other parts to be listed :

match=re.compile('<a href="videos.php?id=(.+?)"</a>').findall(link)
addDir('Part 1',url,4,'')

for url,name in match:
addDir('Part '+name,url,4,'')

Please let me know.

Thanks

How to do - regex of "1 of #" - is it something which is done in python shell or in the source?

Also do I have to manually go through each video and find the parts ?

Please let me know

Thanks

sansat

2009-08-25, 17:44

Ok I googled it and found regex is regular expressions - so I tried something like below to test the result

import urllib2,urllib,re

url='http://www.filmicity.in/videos.php?id=14093'

req = urllib2.Request(url)
req.add_header('User-Agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3')
response = urllib2.urlopen(req)
link=response.read()
response.close()
match=re.compile('1 of (.+?)').findall(link)
print match

And I got

['4']

So it means it has 4 parts right - then do I to do it for each video ?

2009-08-25, 18:36

Also I am trying to create one for www.rajshri.com where video is not in parts which is good ...but one has to login to this site: (free login)

How can we pass username/password via the plugin to the site - is it possible.

Sorry, I am asking too many questions but it will help in deciding if its worth the effort creating the plugin for this site.

Thanks

Ok,

Can you please let me know a sample print statement where you can see whats been passed through the plugin, like you showed in your debug output and where exactly it should be placed.

Thanks

Ok,

Can you please let me know a sample print statement where you can see whats been passed through the plugin, like you showed in your debug output and where exactly it should be placed.

Thanks

you just put the print statement right after the variable you want to see.

For ex:

match=re.compile('szasdsa(.+?)sadas').findall(asds )
print match

And it will show up in the xbmc.log

btw, make google is your friend. You can find alot of python examples or tutorials. For example, google: python print examples

I had tried that and it was erroring out, will try it again and keep you posted.

Also can you please let me know if its possible to pass username/passwords via the plugin for www.rajshri.com ?

Thanks

I code above was just an example, it doesn't work.

It's possible to use username/pass, but I haven't done it myself yet.

Again, google it or see how someone else done it on a different plugin:

In the site www.rajshri.com, under any section like tv shows, movies etc, when I move my mouse over page 1, 2 etc, I see a javascript - In the source also I see it as

<a id="ctlPagingTop_lnkBtn4" title="Page 208" href="javascript:__doPostBack('ctlPagingTop$lnkBtn4','')" style="cursor:pointer;cursor:hand;padding:3px;margin-right:0px;border:1px solid #CCCCCC;">208</a>

So is there any way in python to identify javascripts ?

I googled for it by many links say there is no support for javascript in python, so just wanted your opinion if its worth the effort to make a plugin for www.rajshri.com

Please let me know

There are 11 characters with special meanings: the opening square bracket [, the backslash \, the caret ^, the dollar sign $, the period or dot ., the vertical bar or pipe symbol |, the question mark ?, the asterisk or star *, the plus sign +, the opening round bracket ( and the closing round bracket ). These special characters are often called "metacharacters".

If you want to use any of these characters as a literal in a regex, you need to escape them with a backslash.

so

match=re.compile('<a href='list.php?alpha=(.+?)'>(.+?)</a>').findall(link)

should be
match=re.compile('<a href='list\.php\?alpha=(.+?)'>(.+?)</a>').findall(link)

Thanks.

Well below is my code where it display,the moviepages, tvshows pages, parts under each show and also plays some but some it does not even if its of dailymotion.It plays on the website but in xbmc there is nothing displayed under parts -normally under part1 folder it would display - play part 1

http://pastebin.com/f449bc4b4

If you see in page 1 of TV shows most of the videos in the parts play but from page 2 onwards its very random - for eample in page 2 - 1 Aug - videos does not have videos under the parts - any idea why its behaving like this ?

Below is the log in which I am able to play a video and for the other it does not display any video to play - the parts folder is empty

http://pastebin.com/m5f6dd8cf

Also is it possible to pass multiple urls in one definition of parts ?- for example in the video page - http://www.filmicity.in/videos.php?id=9865 - parts are not displayed in source like part 1 of - but in its next video page - http://www.filmicity.in/videos.php?id=9866- its displayed as - part 2 of 7
- so I was wondering first to check if main url has the parts if not then change the url to the next page and scrape the part from it...

I am trying to write code shown below for different conditions of parts but the last section of elseif is the one I am trying to figure a way to scrape mutiple urls -

http://pastebin.com/f3d45ab0f

In above code you will get results when we use

url='http://www.filmicity.in/videos.php?id=14169'
url='http://www.filmicity.in/videos.php?id=14159'

but no results

url='http://www.filmicity.in/videos.php?id=9865' - its bcos i am not sure if its possible to do it-

Please let me know.

Thanks

You could pass multiple urls by:

url='http://www.filmicity.in/videos.php?id=14169'+';'+'http://www.filmicity.in/videos.php?id=14169'+';'+'http://www.filmicity.in/videos.php?id=14169'

then once it gets passed, you can split them by:

urls=url.split(';')

So the first url with be urls[0], then urls[1]...

btw, this site looks a little too unorganized to make a plugin for. There are too many random situations to deal with. You're gonna have a hard to trying to get everything to work smoothly. Good luck...

c'mon, it's not magic that I'm finding where the problem is. You can do it too :oo: You just need to break down the code and find what parts aren't working. Usually the problem is with regex not matching.

My though process for finding the problem...
Since I know that everything works until I click on the on of the parts links ( eg. Part 1 for 1 Aug MTV Connected (http://www.filmicity.in/videos.php?id=13875) ), I know the problem is somewhere under the VIDEOLINKS function. Because the video is from dailymotion, I can start testing the regex code for dailymotion starting at line 92. Once there, I test out the first regex p=re.compile('<param name="movie" value="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/(.+?)">') and it works fine. When I test out the second regex comp=re.compile('<a href="(.+?)" title="Click to Download"><font color=red>'), I noticed nothing is matched. So I open the same url in my browser and look at the html source. Link (http://www.flashvideodownloader.org/download.php?u=http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xa1f6k) There I can see why the function wasn't returning a video. flashvideodownloader.org shows that "Download temporarily unavailable." for some videos.

Thanks Stacked, actually I was looking at only the first regex and it was matching in both working and non working videos, did not look into the second one, do we need the second one ? for any videos as I am not downloading the video's so maybe I will remove it and see if it helps.

Thanks for your guidance and also regarding multiple urls, my requirement was to first scrape a url, if it does not return a value, then scrape the second url, so when I add the below code for each url it does not work so was not sure if we could scrape many url in one definition(for example in def PARTS(url):) using below code twice,

req = urllib2.Request(url)
req.add_header('User-Agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3')
response = urllib2.urlopen(req)
link=response.read()
response.close()

thanks for your guidance and tips as it really directs me in the right direction..As you said this site is very inconsistent but since its the first site i am trying so if I try various scenarios it will help me in creating other plugins faster - hopefully :)

The second regex uses flashvideodownloader.org to extract the direct video url (*.flv) from the dailymotion site. So you do need it.

The code below checks for matches in part 1 and then part 2

...I really hope your plugin is done because I don't feel like writing any more code :grin:

2009-08-31, 06:08

Ya I do understand :)

I changed the code for parts a bit

('1 of (.+?)') to ('1 of (\d+)')
as the first code would only display part 1 if there are 10 or 12 parts..

But with your guidance by trying to write this plugin, I have got a hang of the flow from categories to parts and video is the section I would like to know - no code :laugh: but to understand how it works.

The second regex uses flashvideodownloader.org to extract the direct video url (*.flv) from the dailymotion site. So you do need it.

since the second regex is needed - and the download link is unvailable for some shows, hence we see parts without videos in xbmc - so how is it playing in the browser online ? Is there any solution for such scenarios or we will have to live with it ?

Also is there any logic to get parts for shows which do not have "part 1 of " or "part 2 of" in any of its pages and just have prev and next references?

Thanks

Because the website is playing directly from dailymotion flash player. In xbmc you are using flashvideodownloader.org to get the video url. Try using a different site to extract the url for you.

Also is there any logic to get parts for shows which do not have "part 1 of " or "part 2 of" in any of its pages and just have prev and next references?

I can't think of any.

Please stop using sites to grab your urls.

Just adapt the below code to give you the direct blobby.

#DAILYMOTION
try:
daily=re.compile('<param name="movie" value="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/(.+?)"/>').findall(link)
req = urllib2.Request('http://www.dailymotion.com/video/%s'%daily[0])
req.add_header('User-Agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14')
response = urllib2.urlopen(req).read()
match=re.compile('url=rev=.+?&uid=.+?&lang=en&callback=.+?&preview=.+?&video=(.+?)%40%40spark').findall(response)
addLink(name,"http://www.dailymotion.com"+urllib.unquote(match[0]),"")
except: pass

Thanks Voinage for this new solution.

to

daily=re.compile('<param name="movie" value="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/(.+?)">').findall(link)

and it passes the daily[0] value but it does not display the videos in the parts - its still empty so am not sure what else has to be changed in remaining code to make it to work --

req = urllib2.Request('http://www.dailymotion.com/video/%s'%daily[0])
req.add_header('User-Agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14')

addLink(name,"http://www.dailymotion.com"+urllib.unquote(match[0]),"")

please let me know

Thanks

I know where the problem is but I want you to figure it out...

Check if match is returning a value. If not, there is something wrong with the regex. Go to a dailymotion page (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xacrg2_31-aug-thank-you-jijaji_fun), look at the source and confirm if the regex is correct. Once you're done with that, check if the url you are passing to addLink is accessible in your browser. Remember to print things out if you don't know whats going on.

sansat

2009-09-02, 22:07

Thanks for replying, I was going in the same direction as you have mentioned and have changed code

from

match=re.compile('url=rev=.+?&uid=.+?&lang=en&callback=.+?&preview=.+?&video=(.+?)%40%40spark').findall(response)

to

match=re.compile('url=rev=.+?&lang=en&callback=.+?&preview=.+?&video=(.+?)%40%40spark').findall(response)

and it displays the videos under parts but it does not play the videos:

Below is the log:

As an update - I changed below code also

from

addLink(name,"http://www.dailymotion.com"+urllib.unquote(match[0]),"")

to

addLink(name,urllib.unquote(match[0]),"")

And it plays video but some of the parts which were shown as empty are still empty so now I have to see what url is being passed for those videos

will keep you posted.

Ya, so then for that site we may have to live with that limitation as I am not able to figure out any other method...

Also most of videos in movies sections have parts but in the source they are not mentioning the no of parts so we can't have those videos play either as I can't figure a way for that either..

Thanks

2009-09-04, 23:40

Well I found a way to display parts which are not having part 1 of or part 2 of in source, I kept at default value for parts as 15 and it will list 15 parts by default with consecutive videos under each part - this way I am able to atleast play 60% of the video's on this site: now the remaining some are google videos which I need to work on and others are the ones for which we cannot find a fix where we can play online but not through the source..

Will keep you posted.

I have nearly finished writing another plugin for interval.in, but its a very small issue which I am not able to figure out from the log. The issue is only part 1 vidoes are getting displayed, when I do the test individually all parts are displayed but in videolink section, only part 1 get shown no other parts - when you get time please let me know what is wrong.

Thanks for replying to the regex query.

Is x3d considered special character and then we need to put 3 backslashes as there are 3 letters ? is that how it works for special characters?

When you get time, please let me know your view on the above issue on part 2, 3 etc not being displayed in videos section ..

Thanks

the html source had two backslash \\, so to escape it, you need to add two more backslash resulting in \\\\

I started school and I'm either too busy or too tired to do anything. I would rather not waste more time this site/plugin. I'll try to answer any quick syntax/python questions but I'm not going through the full code to fix problems. Sorry :sad: Good luck with it.

Thanks for replying.

I understand once school starts then we get busy.

Anyway I think I figured out the issue.

Thanks for all your help
