I have no idea how to do this, is there another addon that does this that i can use as an example or can you give me an example

tks

I mean setup a Play_url() function in your addon. Then use the url to that function to handle any wait times and etc. So the url you set on your listitem would be something like:

Code: Select all

plugin://script.video.1channel/?url=http://www.example.com&title=Title_to_be_shown&other_random_parameter=some_other_information_you_need

I have a working script that get host names ie Putlocker etc from a page from 1 to (no diff hosts)
as i get each one i load a page that get the host url and then build my menu with the Host name and the correct url.
This can take some time as some list up to 50 host links.


What i have now done is scrape the 1st page only so dont load each page to get host url
and then when selecting play get the host url then.

I have this working, however once some pages are loaded the movie can have multiple parts
and will only know it has parts once the play button is pressed.

My question is how can i let the user know before hand if a movie has parts or do i just stick with loading each page and getting details as i build the menu

tks

Check for multiple parts when you make that last page call. If it finds multiple parts, pop another selection box instead of playing. Then when they select a part, go through playing. You can get really fancy and have an option to not show the second dialog and just add all the parts to the playlist too

Yep, I would take that route too.. actually I did once
