Jumpy: Jump into Python (and onto XBMC) Updated 22 Sep 2012

Im thinking this is due to rtmpdump 2.3?

very likely . There must be binaries of 2.4 out there you can grab, and I don't think you can cross-compile from linux but apparently gcc without xcode is possible. To build it yourself use the source code from here and follow the instructions in the readme. Don't forget to install:

Code: Select all

sudo make SYS=darwin install

The mac/osx version of PMS doesn't include ffmpeg?

The mac/osx version of PMS doesn't include ffmpeg?

Yes, it does:

Code: Select all

> ls /Applications/PS3\ Media\ Server.app/Contents/Resources/Java/osx
dcraw      ffmpeg      flac      mencoder   mplayer      tsMuxeR

Thanks, raptor! I'm assuming it has librtmp support then.

Code: Select all

@nismoxr34: If this is the Channels rtmpdump.groovy have you tried using ffmpeg instead of rtmpdump by removing rtmpdump.force from PMS.conf?

[nismoxr34]

I attempted to remove rtmpdump.force from my PMS.conf, I am thinking that ffmpeg wasn't compiled correctly with librtmp, maybe I am wrong. I updated rtmp 2.4, but still have the same issues. It looks like its attempting to use ffmpeg but unable to transcode.

Edit: Just compiled ffmpeg with all dependencies, and its working now.

Thanks!

Hi Inf,
Just noticed new release...would try it out and let you know......also would appreciate if you can expand and summarize more on new features here. More Qs on reading your links and after I understand.
PS-I see examples within zip..I see rss feeds and other new features but they dont expand.
PS- All XBMC addons dont get picked up as earlier and dont show in this version...any clues??

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "xbmcinit.py", line 105, in read_addon
paths.extend(_info[dep]['_pythonpath'].split(os.path.pathsep))
KeyError: '_pythonpath'

I should have explained this somewhere . If you already have a jumpy-scripts.ini in your profile folder then temporarily rename it and jumpy will write a new default one with the examples inside, then merge your backed-up ini into the new one by hand.

All XBMC addons dont get picked up as earlier and dont show in this version...any clues?

There's been no change to the xbmc scripts in this version so it should work the same as before, however I was alerted to one pretty basic flaw in the scripts which is now corrected at jumpy-xbmc on github. Try that and if you still get an error attach a jumpy.log so I can replicate the error.

Thanks for the reply..IN

I tried couple of things:

-Used your win32-setup to make sure PhantonJS is installed and path set - result is webreader works and even video showing the webpage works too. Only problem is I cannot PAUSE and I am not super quick reader..lol I am sure that there is a way to slow the pace. I wish I could PAUSE though as on my DLNA player, stream fails on pausing.
*Nice feature added by you- I could certainly add Reuters and Weather site- very USEFUL.. Thanks!

-Used my old XBMC as it seems that I have not updated that folder as I was using old Jumpy 1.7. So not sure what changed in XBMC since then as I still get the pythonpath error. for now, all addons get picked up using xbmcinit (version 2.1) and new one is 3.1

Error in 3.1 is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "xbmcinit.py", line 112, in read_addon
paths.extend(_info[dep]['_pythonpath'].split(os.path.pathsep))
KeyError: '_pythonpath'

- Also read your script (text and message) examples ....somehow they dont work for me.....Is the purpose to be able to run XBMC programs, weather?? What are intended applications? Please do share your used scripts.

[infidel]

I cannot PAUSE

You have a dlna player that can't pause? Could you be more specific

Used my old XBMC

Error in 3.1 is:

Do you mean you're using XBMC Dharma (10.1) and not Eden (11.0) with jumpy-xbmc 3.1 and getting this error? It would be much simpler if you attach a full log so I can see the details. The KeyError by itself doesn't shed enough light (for me anyway ).

I could certainly add Reuters and Weather site- very USEFUL

Post them here when you've got 'em.

- Also read your script (text and message) examples ....somehow they dont work for me.....What are intended applications?

They're "video message boxes" for Actions to report their results or for Players to show error messages when they fail (for example if you look in webreader.py you'll see it calls pms.err() if it can't run phantomjs). They don't work on my Sony Bluray either (but neither do PMS' VirtualVideoActions, extremely short streams seem to always throw a "corrupted" error). They work on the PS3 I hear, and also on xbmc itself, of course.

EDIT: typo.
