Request to integrate other plugins into the repository

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi guys,

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to place a request. I've recently 
developed some additional Australian TV plugins at 
http://code.google.com/p/bogs-xbmc-addons/downloads/list. I was wondering if 
you'd be interested in including them in the Australian TV repository

Hi there,

Firstly thank you for this.

I did download some of the plugins but unfortunately Bloomberg threw up an 
error message and didn't work, same as well for RT.

Re SBS2, the visual on a 48" screen is rather pixelated and probably 
unwatchable. Unfortunately I don't know anything about creating plugins but 
could it be something to do with filtering the data to provide a sharper image?

Just a thought but please keep up the good work. Really appreciate it.
Cheers

For the SBS plugin you can change the resolution by going into the settings. 
I'm interested in knowing what issues you've found in the other plugins. Could 
you post you're xbmc log for each error in the following forums?

I need the actual details in the log file to diagnose your problem.
Could you:
  - restart XBMC
  - try to use the RT and Bloomberg plugins until you get the errors
  - before closing XBMC go to the following file (on Windows machines) "%APPDATA%\XBMC\xbmc.log" and post the contents on pastebin (http://pastebin.com/)
  - report back the pastebin ID

With the log file details I should be able to diagnose your problem

I've updated the plugins. It also looks like you're missing the addon 
script.module.cryptopy try downloading it from the internet and installing it 
before using Bloomberg

re addon script.module.cryptopy, Now you're getting technical ;>). I downloaded 
it and installed it via cyberduck to the same area as the other addons and 
tried to open the zip file, although nothing appeared to happen. I am only 
assuming that that is correct?

Yet RT and Bloomberg still don't work...same error.

I am assuming that it has nothing to do with Australian IP address?

ATV2 and Mac OSX.

The RT and Bloomberg issues are different. The Bloomberg issue is causes by the 
missing cryptography module, RT was being caused by unicode. I've just updated 
RT could you try it? As for Bloomberg. Try to unzip the attachment into:
%APPDATA%\XBMC\addons

Voila, RT is now up and working. thank you.

Re Bloomberg; Still struggling.I unzipped cryptography module into 
preferences/xbmc/addons as I couldn't find APPDATA. Maybe that was wrong?

It needs to be in %APPDATA%\XBMC\addons (%APPSATA% is an environment variable 
typically on winxp C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USERNAME\Application 
Data\XBMC)

I've just looked at your pastebin log again, it looks like you're on one of the 
'nix OSes. In that case '/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC' seems the rigth 
place. 

If that doesn't work try to install the attached file as a plugin in XBMC

No dice. Showing script error.

I've uploaded another pastebin log for you. Hope it helps.

I'm not sure why you're getting this error. The error message is:

Error Contents: ("Non-ASCII character '\\xa9' in file 
/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/addons/script.module.cryptopy/lib/crypto/__
init__.py on line 5, but no encoding declared; see 
http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details"

But I can clearly see an encoding specified in the file. The library also works 
well for me on for Dharma on both Ubuntu and Winxp. I'm not sure if I can help 
much further as this is not my code. 

IF you really want to get Bloomberg working you can strip the copyright 
character out of all of the files in 
"/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/addons/script.module.cryptopy". This 
should remove your problems
