0.1.6 B4 Release Candidate

[Bstrdsmkr]

Ok folks, finally tracked down the last big issue. It requires a patch to metahandlers to completely fix, but now that I understand the problem, I'm able to work around it. That means this version should work without any editing and should work with a clean install.

Things that need testing:

• Manual installation of locally downloaded meta packs
• Auto-play. It should fallback to the next source on the list if the top choice fails to play. I couldn't get the "working-then-nothing" thing to happen so idk what happens in that case (nothing I think)
• Unsubscribing. Somebody reported a problem with unsubscribing from a TV show, but it was right when the site went down, so I didn't get any clear logs to see what was going on
• Page skipping. When browsing paginated lists, open the context menu of the Next Page >> item. You should be able to jump to any page from there. The only problem is the website's pagination is slightly broken. Sometimes there are more pages than it indicates, so if you jump to the last page, there may still be a Next Page >> button which leads to more content. It should still be good for picking up where you left off

I've also implemented an 8hr url cache in this release. This should greatly reduce our load on 1Channel's site and improve up time for everybody, especially with random ass hats trying to DDOS them all the time. The only drawback to this is browsing content could be up to 8 hours old. So if you look at the 1st page of results for recently added, it'll only pull that page again after 8 hours. If something gets added within that time span, you won't see it until the cache expires. Searches are still live and not cached.

Assuming no bugs show up, yes. As far as I'm aware, everything should be working in this release. If you find something, definitely let me know so I can get it fixed before release

Auto-view should take care of that, you'll just have to find the right numbers for your skin

About captcha... oops! I was using 1channel to figure out how to handle captchas in urlresolvers. Just delete line 41 from default.py, it doesn't do anything

Edit: fixed this on github

Great work.

Auto-play. It should fallback to the next source on the list if the top choice fails to play. I couldn't get the "working-then-nothing" thing to happen so idk what happens in that case (nothing I think)

No problems on my end,.tested with autoplay off to find non working "top choice" invalid urls. Set to autoplay and fallback to next stream worked flawlessly.

Unsubscribing. Somebody reported a problem with unsubscribing from a TV show, but it was right when the site went down, so I didn't get any clear logs to see what was going on

Will need to retest this as I think I did not have a complete clean install and it was fetching data from previous installs.

Side note/request:

I prefer to be subscribed and operate from XBMC Library. (great work by the way). Reason: Able to edit metadata within xbmc
I have noticed that my shows update (excellent) with new episodes. But when a new episode is added to the website obviously only a few links are listed. This results in only a few links inside XBMC Library.

Can we possibly get our (what would be deemed as previous episodes) in XBMC Library updated too?

And just to be a pain in the @s! What are the chances of getting this to work backwards As in "subscribed-->Listed in XBMC Library--> Then be able too unsubscribe,manual update, etc from the Library?
