Free Cable: unable to open database file #183

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Free Cable add-on
2. Start add-on
3. Pick any network

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I assume this should bring up a new menu with a list of shows from the given 
network. Instead there is an error "Script failed! plugin.video.free.cable"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
FreeCable v0.5.3 on XBMC 11.0 (compiled 6/15/2012) on Crunchbang 11 (Waldorf)

Please provide any additional information below.

From looking at _common.py, it's expecting a SQLite database file in 
special://home/addons/script.module.free.cable.database/lib/shows.db, but my 
addons directory has no subdirectory "script.module.free.cable.database".

I had the same problem, and looked around to fix it. It seems that installation 
process of the addon is broken in the repository, and so it is not downloading 
the database folder while the addon is being installed. While the developers 
fix this bug, the workaround is to manually download the required database file.

To do this, create a folder named 'script.module.free.cable.database' under 
your addons directory, and then download the files from Google code. Place 
'addon.xml'[1] directly in the folder, then create a subfolder named 'lib', and 
place 'shows.db'[2] under it. This fixed the problem for me, and most of the 
streams are now working.

Hi- Where can I create this folder anurag4? I have cyberduck and have been 
having success in using it but I can't find the location of the "add ons" 
folder to create the folders as suggested in my cyberduck.  Thanks.
