Plugins and Scripts

Opened this issue · 14 comments

Hello, I was wondering do you have plans to support python scripts and plugins like original XBMC4Xbox does? I don't know if you know, but I'm making script for streaming movies and tv shows on original xbox. More info Stream Movies & TV Shows

If you in some future implement scripts and plugins, I'll gladly port this script to be compatible with XBMC-360. Maybe it could be possible to do everything on Xbox because 360 is more powerful machine then the first Xbox.

By the way, really great work. I hope in some future we get fully working XBMC for 360.

Hi,

Thanks for your interest in this project, I do plan to port over the same Python scripting system used in XBMC4XBOX and Kodi to XBMC-360 eventually, I still have a large amount of work in other areas though so not sure how far away this will be sorry.

Cheers

I hope that some day we will get functional XBMC for 360 thanks to you. I would really like to help but my knowledge of C/C++ is only basic plus I dont understand complex things like ffmpeg, python integration and many many more. I'm software developer but in the WEB scope (HTML,CSS, NODE.JS, JAVA, .NET, PYTHON).

Can you reuse some code from XBMC/KODI or you are coding everything from scratch? Maybe XBMC builds for PowerPC would be useful. I think XBMC version 11 is latest available for macintosh PCs with PowerPC processors.

We do have a while to go but I will keep working on it when I can, we are currently running off an older version of ffmpeg, I hope to start a port if a newer version eventually. I will need to check out your XBMC4XBOX plugin, looks very nice. The Xbox 360 is more powerful than the OG Xbox, but it still chokes on some HD content, I still think it can be very useful though.

I'm currently using code from both XBMC4XBOX and the newer Kodi, good to know there is a PowerPC branch, I will check it out.

Thanks

Can it play H.264 720p/1080p movies (YIFY quality)? Here is a video of my project for OG Xbox: Stream Movies & TV Shows

I remember of testing this 1080p/720p sometime ago but the video sometimes freezes

I need todo some proper testing, but I have had some luck with 720p, I need to try some 1080p content.

@wolfysdl Was your testing previous to the below commit? The player was hugly updated in this commit and took a big leap, previous to this commit the player would freeze and skip on bad frames sometimes. Now if the CPU can't keep up it will just drop frames and become slow.

I think it was that previous commit but maybe i will send a video testing 720p video

Here is the video and sorry for my locked english

Thanks for the video, glad to see it's playing well now after the video player code update. To help narrow done the cause of the issue with the one file that failed does it work after removing the special characters from the name (e.g renamed testvid.mkv), also any info in the log file? Cheers

Well this is probably caused by not supporting latin characters but i will see the log as you said.

i didn't find the log file

if we can confirm it's due to special characters I can look at a fix.

log should be in the same file as xbmc.xex and named xbmc.log. If not generating might need the latest build.

There is no xbmc.log i tried to fix this using my c++ knowledge but no sucess anyway i was testing again with some 1080p movie and with a video with latin characters when i run the 1080p one it reboots my console but when i run the video with latin characters there is no reboot.
