From the log file, it appears that the ppstream server is very slow in 
responding to the xbmc ppstream url request and hence leads to timeout error. 
This happens even when you access to the PPstream main menu the very first time.

link = getHttpData('http://v.pps.tv/ugc/list-c30.html')
...
timeout: timed out

Subsequently, while accessing to the movie link, it encounters similar timeout 
error:
getMovie(name, id, thumb)
....
timeout: timed out

Usually I also encountered the same problem when trying to access ppstream 
during evening time say after 7pm when the ppstream server is heavily 
overloaded. But suprise to see that your problem happen around 1pm (no sure it 
is becuase of Good Friday Holiday).

The problem you observed is due to ppstream server heavily overlaoded and 
failed to response to the url request. There is little ppstream plugin can do 
to resolve server overloaded problem. You may want to try again to see if it 
turns out better at some other day/time when the ppstream server is not 
overloaded.

(Note: please also ensure you have the latest ppstream version 2.0.8 installed)

Appreciate if you keep me posted on your finding.

Hi,

Can you try to install the attached ppstream zip file, and try to capture 
another log file with access to different video links. Just want to be sure if 
there is no other problem.

Thanks.

Hi, my issue sounds the same, PPTV plays but PPStream exhibits the same 
symptoms as above. I am a complete noob so can anybody more familiar with 
python take a look at the log file and advise what I can try to resolve this. 
My ppstream add-on is 2.2.7 and I have Frodo on Windows 8. Appreciate any 
pointers please!
