Serviio

i am having an terrible time trying to get plugins to work. the only one that i have had success with is Veetle. all others attempted, CNN, TuneIn, PBSKids, Vevo, etc. all produce the same 'plugin not found' error message. can someone please offer some concreted examples of what works for a URL ? i have been going into the groovy plugin to see what may be required, but 1) in don't know groovy, and 2) there doesn't seem to be a standard that says what URL to use to get these things working. thanks, in advance...

i am on Serviio 1.2.1 on a QNAP TS-212 running with Java 7.

error message in Serviio log as follows:

Try them one at a time - for example I understand the PBSKids plugin is broken.
For Vevo, do you have it in as a web resource? Here is my ServiioLink for it (never done this before - I believe you just click on it):

serviio://video:web?url=http%3A%2F%2Fww ... &name=Vevo

<Edit>Restart Serviio and check the top part of your log file to ensure the plugins are being compiled. You should see something like:
2013-09-19 23:48:01,667 INFO [PluginCompilerThread] Added Web Resouce plugin VevoBeta (VevoBeta.groovy), version: 20
If not, are you sure they're in the correct location? </edit>

Log implies that the plugins were not added to the plugins folder.

here is my log at startup. does it not show that the plugins are being loaded?? the /plugins/ directory has 98 plugins in it... am i supposed to do something else to make them 'load' ??

Note also that Vevobeta.groovy is showing an error, so they must be being loaded ??

how about you send me the details for a plugin that you have working, and i'll try to re-create it on my end... again, so far the only one that i can find that works is Veetle. ... the rest seem dead.

my process is:

1) go to the Serviio console.
2) go to libary > online sources tab
3) click add, select Source Type: Web Resource (should match the plugin definition), put in the url: that i can usually find in the plugin in the Source URL (there should be a standard for plugin documentation and examples to be in the comments at the top of the plugin, showing one url that actually works), key-in a display name, set the Media Type to video, and click Add. done.
in a few minutes, if it works like Veetle, it is available on my Sony TV.

please tell me what i am doing wrong in this process.

I only use a few, but Vevo is one of them and is working for me (thats why I picked on this one specifically). The error you get for Vevo is because the plugin is dependant on the YouTube plugin, which is loading later. I also get this error, but you should also see a "INFO [PluginCompilerThread] Added Web Resouce plugin VevoBeta (VevoBeta.groovy), version: 20" later in the log (confirm?).

I can't see that you've done anything wrong. Am wondering if one plug-in is faulty and stuffing it up for all the others. May want to try it with a limited set first (eg. just Veetle, Youtube and Vevo). Just move the plugins out of the folder (no need to change your online library - this will generate log errors, but otherwise shouldn't cause an issue).

yes, i do see that Vevo is loaded (version 20) later in the log, as you have expected.

i'll give it a try... i'll delete all but a few, and see if something, other than Veetle works, as well.

also, i have read in the forums that you can test these feeds/web resouces manually... how do you do that on a QNAP box ?? i have WinSCP, but don't know how to use it to load commands to any of the applications, or to the o/s itself ?

thanks, again.

I do not see anything wrong, but you need to post a log showing the subsequent parsing of the console entries using the plugins. That's where the problems exist.

You should be aware that the plugin sources often change (often to prevent direct access to their streams which bypasses their advertising revenue) and that screws up the plugins. I depend on people posting in my plugin threads when they break so I can release an update. Many of mine are currently broken but in the absence of anyone posting a problem I have not updated them since I am in the process of revamping them.
