XBMC Supersport Addon

Grouter / COMPUTEK - Please post the script error from the xbmc.log in the xbmc home folder. When clicking on Live Streaming it shouldn't be affected by the lack of a live stream being available.

In any case, I did mention before that clicking on an upcoming stream will give you a play error, but I have tidied that up so now a notification telling you that the stream isn't playing rather pops up. Get the new version here:

http://xbmc-supersport-tv.googlecode.com/files/plugin.video.supersport.0.0.5.zip

Changes to version 0.0.4/5:

Many changes to the information stored for each entry (metadata)
Now able to sort list items.
Fanart is now loaded from thumbnail.
Additional View Types have been made available.
 
This is the log from this morning after doing the update to 0.0.4 >

I'm also not able to open up Live Streaming on ver 0.0.4. I'm using linux version:

timvdwest : Please will you message me the full log. Thanks
 
not meant to derail, but those who used the drifta in fullscreen to output to tv.
Is the resolution the same as with the SS stream via xbmc?
According to my Dad who has a drifta, currently visiting me, says this stream looks a tiny bit better, but mostly the same.

The DSTV ondemand streams have better quality than the supersport website imho.

ps. Did anyone notice, once you have registered on www.supersport.com for live streaming, you can use those same login details on the dstv ondemand website, without ever needing to supply you ISP login details, unlike what was required when you registered on the ondemand website?

Bounce i there anyway you can get the channel E working on XBMC. why wife loves to watch it.
She like the gossip and what not on that channel.
 
Bounce ver 4 & 5 gives errors when trying to stream live content.
Can you post your log file?
Bounce i there anyway you can get the channel E working on XBMC. why wife loves to watch it.
She like the gossip and what not on that channel.
He is busy working on a DStv on Demand add on. If there will be any channel E programs/shows on DStv on Demand, then you will be able to stream it.
I had a quick look at DStv on Demand's website and didn't see anything so it seems there wouldn't be any channel E programs/shows streaming.
 
Ok, feedback on XBMC for Apple tv: don't ask me how/why, but it now works! A few nights ago I tried to install a python port (for beautiful soup plugin), without success. I have not added the beautiful soup plugin yet as it required python. Randomly tried accessing it now and to my surprise, it worked!
still running 0.4.
Big up to Bounce!
