mp3 download script

[bitplane]

updated...

irc download script v0.1.4

now it looks pretty, and it's skinnable too! default skin's images are stolen from foood's icons (www.foood.net)

click on "launch.py" to start the script (or to show it if it's hidden)

you can get it here for now, i'll upload to the download site when i've added stats and some more gfx

that is fantastic, i got it to download a complete song. great work, be nice to see the exit bug fixed.

i believe the fatx character limit is 41.

update:
send is currently broken (list, files )
odd filenames are partly fixed
exit bug fixed (well sort of)
less crashes
still lots to do...

cool script! anyway of knowing what speed or how much of a song is downloaded?

[gerner]

good work mate! this is gonna be a cracker *

i was looking for a way to make the screen that the script brings up fit my tv better. i'm not sure if its a pal/ntsc thing but at the moment its too big and i can't see the messages that come up at the bottom ( i tried to reconfigure xbmc to make it fit but the rest of the app is thrown out). any ideas anyone?

thx for the feedback ppl

i'll be writing some more when i get in tonight, but the main priority is to actually make it xbox share the download dir so the script doesnt become a universally despised leeching client like bottler.
i've got the dcc send through nat problem though*- so users will need to set up port forwarding in windows internet connection sharing, there will only mean x sends at once, so i'll have to add queues and all that jazz...

dcc resume is not yet implemented

@kaisersose
i'll add (botch) percentage complete and file size to the next version

@gerner
yep i'm afraid it's a ntsc thing, it was made for my pal telly. i'll make the next version use percentages of the screens width/height so it'll work for every resolution.

any news on this?

[bitplane]

i'm still playing with it. i got dcc sends through ics working, settings are now in a text file, added more gui (settings, search spy) and moved the code around a bit.

i've been camping and my bro's nicked my vcr so i've got nowhere to plug my xbox in. i'll be running a cable downstairs and testing it as soon as my parents go to bed, but for now i'm working on dcc resume

expect a new version very soon

if any python gurus are reading this...
i'm looking for a way to exit without closing so it runs in the background until it's activated again, but if i run the same script twice it exits instead. if i add a button to the my music screen, i can't reference any of the other controls to set controlup, down, etc - so it can't be pressed. checking to see if a file exists every second when hidden, deleting it if it exists on startup would be sloppy. catching and canceling shutdown would be a good hack if possible... any ideas?

not possible. you can run it in the background but it's not possible to activate it again.

known problem, can't do much about it now (will fix it after xbmc 1.0 is released)

aww
ah well at least i've got some time to smooth all the bumps out before then.
