OE-Alliance OnDemand Plugin

extract the following archive and FTP the OnDemand folder to

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/

then issue the following command via a telnet session.

init 4 && opkg install python-lxml python-beautifulsoup python-dnspython && init 3

be aware however that this is still a WIP ( work in progress ) and therefore not the finished article.

you can keep upto date with developments via the GIT.

EDIT the above is for the ViX image, i am not sure if it will work on any other image yet.

The OE-Alliance OnDemand player is no longer BETA and can be downloaded via the ViX image feeds. i will upload a .ipk when i have the time.

The OE-Alliance OnDemand player is the only official version and will always be the most upto date, all other modified or "DeViXed" versions must be adapted to run on other images, this is not something we do on purpose but our build GIT is very different from those used by other image teams so for now only OE-Alliance based teams and some OpenPli based images can run the official unmodified versions from the GIT.

here are a few screen shots form the latest official version

Quote from Shiro, post: 85322, member: 1

Ok in the next Bh we will have:
1) all the dependencies available for this plugin.
2) Skin system compatible with relative coordinate
3) Picload compatible with thumbnail resize.

But there are other things that require to be changed in the plugin depending from different structure of enigma2 (OE-ALLIANCE is pli based as you know).

So i think it can be useful to setup a repository at github for Black Hole open source plugins and plugins opensource adapted to Black Hole like this.
I can setup and manage the repository but is there here someone that know git and want to cooperate like for example to mantain the bh compatible version of this plugin and others ?

A little off topic i know, but i would just like to applaud shiro and the BH team for the above post on the BH forum. It is really very refreshing to see such a level headed approach from the usual forum shouting matches that spring up around such projects. if this is put into motion as suggested above it will signify a new closer working relationship between the OE-Alliance and the Black Hole team which will benefit every one in the satellite community. it will mean that such plugins can be worked on by multiple teams amicably with a single goal rather than headbutting each other.

so from me i say thank you shiro and the BH team.

A quick request from Mcquaim for a UK based tester.

Quote from mcquaim

OK, I'm looking for a UK based user to test a bit of code for me on this HD option..

I have added a new stream quality option of HD so the plan is that if you select a programme that has a HD stream available it should hopefully play it as long as you are in the UK. Unfortunately HD streams don't seem to be available from outside the UK so this is why I can't test this myself..

So, can someone in the UK transfer the two files in this zip over onto the OnDemand folder of your receiver and then reboot. If you could then launch OnDemand, press Menu and change the preferred stream quality to HD and then try and play the latest episode of Top Gear from the Most Popular category (I know this has a HD stream).

Can you report:
1. That the programme plays.
2. That you are getting the HD quality stream.

If you don't know if the stream is HD then change the config option back to High, play Top Gear again and compare the quality of both.

Obviously this goes without saying that this is for the OE-A version not the modified versions yet but this test will benefit all so if any one is interested please reply below.

Quick thanks to those who tested, file seems to be working fine and will be submitted to the GIT in a few minutes.

[OnDemand] Add BBC HD Streams for Non-UK
