Hang on loading anything from Navi-X networks

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1. What is the technical error you are experiencing?
Trying to load any listing from Navi-X Networks causes a hang.  XBMC either 
crashes on its own or I have to kill it.

2. What steps will reproduce the problem?
Navi-X -> Navi-Xtreme Portal -> Navi-X Networks -> TV Shows -> Sports -> ESPN

3. What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to eventually get a listing of shows.  Instead I get a "please 
wait..." message that never goes away and can't be cleared.  Sometimes XBMC 
crashes and sometimes I have to kill it.

4. What version number of Navi-X are you using?
3.7.8

5. What media center platform, version and operating system are you using?
XBMC on OS X 10.6

6. Please provide any additional information below:

Anybody wanting to watch Football games should use SportsDevil In the video 
add-ons!

I think UK and Ireland ISP's are trying to block the use of Navi-X!

Anybody who just purchased a TV box or so like myself is basically screwed!

footy, I don't even use navi-x only came here because I noticed its down

I just installed Navi-X for the very first time, version 3.7.8 and am 
disappointed to see that I also have this error.

http://navi-x.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Playlists/home2.plx 
Please wait....

And then I have to kill XBMC to get out of it.

My XBMC is a vanilla Windows 8 64-bit Laptop.

This is how I just managed to fix it on my Windows 8 box.  I imagine the 
procedure should be similar for other platforms but I can't help you with that. 
 I'm sure you will manage it though.

Exit XBMC
Browse to the folder where XBMC App Data is located.  For me it is at
1) C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\Navi-X
2) Find the settings.dat file and edit it with your favorite text editor (I 
used Notepad++)
3) Replace the first line of the file (yours will probably say 
http://navi-x.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Playlists/home2.plx) with 
http://whufclee.googlecode.com/svn/Navi-X/pluginhomepage.plx
4) Save the file
5) Start XBMC and Navi-X
6) Try the entry that says 'Latest Entries Madwiz92'.  Thats the one that works 
for me.

Hope I have been able to help somewhat.

Original comment by navix...@gmail.com on 25 Aug 2013 at 12:30

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Make sure you enabled viewing of hidden items in Windows.  Maybe that's why you 
can't find it.  Although if you were able to find the folder, then you should 
be able to see the file that's in it also.

Thankyou Andy all is good sir..

Original comment by navix...@gmail.com on 25 Aug 2013 at 1:08

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Andy, is it the same for windows 7 and 8? 

Original comment by navix...@gmail.com on 25 Aug 2013 at 1:10

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Yes both Windows 7 & 8 store the users data under the C:\Users folder by 
default, so you should be able to locate the folder there.  Windows XP stores 
the user profiles under '\Documents & Settings' folder, although I can't say 
for sure if XBMC when running on Windows XP has the settings.dat in the same 
folder.

best thing to do is to do a file search on you hard disk, and see what 
locations Windows comes up with.

Not meaning to be condescending but the path I mentioned as 

C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\Navi-X

you would replace the 'yourusername' with your Windows logon user.

For example my user is 'Andy' so the path where I find the file is 
C:\Users\Andy\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\Navi-X

Original comment by a...@pittas.net on 25 Aug 2013 at 1:27

[GoogleCodeExporter]

BTW if you hit Windows Key + R (to bring up the 'Run' dialog), then type 
%appdata% you will be taken to your current user profile folder.  That's for 
Win 7 & 8.  May help some of you that can't find the folder.

Navi-X ? I was sure that everyone's working on it, gave up. It's been weeks

In my point of view, navi-x no longer exist. But may be i'm wrong, do they work 
to fix it ? I think not and since a more than a month now. 

Original comment by andrei.h...@mydigitalife.ca on 25 Aug 2013 at 4:12

@Mikec - As I said in my original post #62 - Try the entry that says 'Latest 
Entries Madwiz92'.

It's working for me anyway.

62's solution won't work for a raspberry pi though will it?

Do people think it will be back to normal in a few days? They have a facebook 
page that says "they're working on it"

thanks for solution #62... usual content is back being displayed however NONE 
of the the movie links work. problom is as follows: no matter what movie link i 
click with no matter what player bottom left corner says loading and after 
about 60 sec stops
this goes for ver. 3.7.6 - 3.7.8
navi-x isn't hung up and there's no need force restart... but it's pretty much 
useless :(
anyone have an idea?

for everybody using raspbmc:

the file you need to edit is located at ~/.xbmc/addons/Navi-X/src/settings.py

replace the value of home_URL (and home_URL_mirror for good measure) to 
whufclee's server as described in post #62.

this did work for me and might work for users on xbian or openelec as well, 
although i cannot try this myself at the moment.

thanx andy and above all whufclee
