Got everything working with the demonstration Media Browser. It turned out to be a ffmpeg compile problem.

I am the process of adding new items to the API and optimizing the sql. I have changed the plugin response as noted below. I still have to change the php to add the complete URL to the files. PluginStatus 1 = working 0 = not working.

  Code:

"resource": "plugin",
    "requestedSize": 16,
    "totalSize": 16,
    "items": [
        {
            "PluginTitle": "4oD (UK)",
            "PluginNid": "186",
            "PluginUri": "public://creatplugin/Channel4od_1.groovy",
            "PluginLanguage": "en",
            "PluginAuthor": "Petr Nejedly",
            "PluginWebsite": "http://www.channel4.com/programmes/4od",
            "PluginInstructions": "A web resource plugin for Channel4 4OD content. Requires at least Serviio 0.6.1",
            "PluginLogo": "public://4oD.jpg",
            "PluginRating": null,
            "PluginStatus": "1",
            "PluginType": "TV On Demand",
            "PluginRevision_Date": "2012-01-05T00:00:00",
            "PluginSourceLocation": null,
            "PluginVersion": "7",
          },

Please let me know what you think and if you want anything added or changed. This change will probably cause me to start using a version parameter in the API that way it does not affect clients that are no longer being developed.

I thought you were going to add pluginApiName or similar which exactly matched the name in the plugin (or just change all of the names on the site so they matched)?

Would be cleaner if you sticked to the same naming convention throughout the API, so use javaCamelCase e.g. pluginRevisionDate rather than PluginRevision_Date

Are you generating that time/date from a method or combining the two together, you don't normally have the letter 'T' in the middle, you just have a space normally.

Considering plugins are often region bound, it would make more sense to have region rather than language.

Can we decide on a standard size for the logos e.g. 256x256.

[Xmantium]

I've updated most of the plugins with 200 by 200 px, some custom made one's too
On Google Images most logos can be easily found exactly matching 200 px

Just waiting on Mark to include PluginApiName extra field

[Xmantium]

Hi Mark, Plugin Body or Description is an important one - http://www.serviidb.com/plugins
Ive carefully updated all plugins with its description about the video site ie. no mention how plugin works as its covered in Plugin Instruction
All sources of infomation are either from its own site or wikipedia, ive condensed most of the info usually to one paragraph so quick and easy to read on a mobile app

[moltra]

How does this look? I kept the last 3 items the same as the current response for plugin, this way I do not have to do a revision.

  Code:

 {
    "resource": "plugin",
    "requestedSize": 17,
    "totalSize": 17,
    "items": [
        {
            "pluginTitle": "4oD (UK)",
            "pluginNid": "186",
            "pluginUri": "http://serviidb.com/sites/default/files/creatplugin/Channel4od_1.groovy",
            "pluginLanguage": "en",
            "pluginAuthor": "Petr Nejedly",
            "pluginWebsite": "http://www.channel4.com/programmes/4od",
            "pluginInstructions": "A web resource plugin for Channel4 4OD content. Requires at least Serviio 0.6.1",
            "pluginLogo": "http://serviidb.com/sites/default/files/rviidb.com/sites/default/files/creatplugin/Channel4od_1.groovy",
            "pluginRating": null,
            "pluginStatus": "1",
            "pluginType": "TV On Demand",
            "pluginRevisionDate": "2012-01-05T00:00:00",
            "pluginSourceLocation": null,
            "pluginVersion": "7",
            "pluginDescription": "4oD - 4 on Demand is a video on demand service from Channel Four Television Corporation. The service offers a variety of programmes recently shown on Channel 4, E4, More4 or from their archives. However some programmes and movies are not available due to rights issues.",
            "pluginApiName": "4oD (UK)",
            "plugin": "4oD (UK)",
            "url": "http://serviidb.com/sites/default/files/creatplugin/Channel4od_1.groovy",
            "nid": "186"
        },

[Xmantium]

"pluginLogo": "http://serviidb.com/sites/default/files/rviidb.com/sites/default/files/creatplugin/Channel4od_1.groovy"

pluginLogo should link to the image file i uploaded

4oD pluginApiName is actually "4OD (UK Only)"
As its a dropdown, value cannot be changed

[moltra]

forgot to change a value. will look at apipluginname

  Code:

 "resource": "plugin",
    "requestedSize": 17,
    "totalSize": 17,
    "items": [
        {
            "pluginTitle": "4oD (UK)",
            "pluginNid": "186",
            "pluginUri": "http://serviidb.com/sites/default/files/creatplugin/Channel4od_1.groovy",
            "pluginLanguage": "en",
            "pluginAuthor": "Petr Nejedly",
            "pluginWebsite": "http://www.channel4.com/programmes/4od",
            "pluginInstructions": "A web resource plugin for Channel4 4oD content. Requires at least Serviio 0.6.1\r\nDue to changes with 4oD, all new content use a new encryption method of streaming",
            "pluginLogo": "http://serviidb.com/sites/default/files/4oD.jpg",
            "pluginRating": null,
            "pluginStatus": "0",
            "pluginType": "TV On Demand",
            "pluginRevisionDate": "2012-01-05T00:00:00",
            "pluginSourceLocation": null,
            "pluginVersion": "7",
            "pluginDescription": "4oD - 4 on Demand is a video on demand service from Channel Four Television Corporation. The service offers a variety of programmes recently shown on Channel 4, E4, More4 or from their archives. However some programmes and movies are not available due to rights issues.",
            "pluginApiName": "4oD (UK)",
            "plugin": "4oD (UK)",
            "url": "http://serviidb.com/sites/default/files/creatplugin/Channel4od_1.groovy",
            "nid": "186"
        },

It would be very cool if Serviio had the option to upload the groovy file like it does with Pro licence in the meantime before a repo solution comes to place

[moltra]

The link is there from the serviidb repository, the clients just need to take it and download it to the correct directory.

Mark I think now Reliability and Quality is very unused and unnecessary fields
99% of my online resources library is using groovy plugins
I think plugin rating, plugin status and resolution covers it

[moltra]

I think that I will leave the ratings in the database for possible future use , I will just take them off the front page.

Hoping for a "Browse ServiiDB"
Ive put the plugins in categories so could work like this

-TV On Demand
|--- 4oD (UK)
|--- CBS (US)
|--- iPlayer (UK)
|--- ITV Player (UK)
|--- Hulu (US)

-Music Videos
|--- Billboard Top 20
|--- YouTube Top 100

- Video Sharing
|--- YouTube
|--- Vimeo

Would anyone like a table on the website with this layout on it?



All Devs, I am getting ready to change the introduction to serviidb, if you want me to include your app please send me a PM or post here what you want me to include about your app.

[moltra]

I just setup website replication around the world. Please let me know if you see any speed changes in your area.

[Xmantium]

Hi Mark, site feels alot faster! Been uploading all the plugins and trying to make sure all the content is in place

The site front needs a heavy revamp.
Rather than long list of tables, would be cool if all the icons of plugins is displayed in its category, and when the icon is clicked the table contents shows up
Rather than lists in - http://www.serviidb.com/plugin-type/movie-trailers
Could be like this, all the logos been uploaded, the site and the mobile apps need it for some eye candy

[moltra]

I like the look, give me a day or two and I should have something setup.

[moltra]

Xmantium look at this page. Is this what you was thinking? It is not complete yet tho.

http://serviidb.com/pluginGrid

[Xmantium]

Spot on, quick turnaround!
Simplicity at its best

Possible suggestions
- TV On Demand seems to be the popular ones and should be on top
- Ive yet to put up Illicos French TV On Demand Plugins and loads of others, so possibly reduced icon sizes
- When clicking on link it should go its corresponding table, like it did on main page
- the icons what have a white background look out of place (my fault), may need to Photoshop borders

When browsing the net for hours on hours for demos on how to place the plugin icons, i across this (possibly bit of wishful thinking ) - http://demo.themedev.me/site_templates/ ... olio4.html

[moltra]

I can change the number of columns. I am having trouble getting the count per plugin.

How do you think the "No plugin" should be handled? Since it could be any of the plugin types.

[Xmantium]

Count may not be that important

I see your point about Non plugin feeds
I always think the database should be three sections

Plugins (definately the most popular section)
- TV on Demand
---- 4oD
---- iPlayer
- Movie Trailer
---- HD-Trailers
---- ect

Feeds (Essentially all the content from here - viewforum.php?f=23 that dont require plugin)
- Art
- Cooking
- Ect

Live Streams (Shared live streams from this section - viewforum.php?f=41)
- Live TV
- Live Sports
- Live News
- Ect

The main focus should be Plugins section to start with
WildRushSkyes does a good job of providing all the latest plugins but users are downloading plugins they will never use
Think ServiiDB should have Download plugin selection, and they can select individual plugins or categories

[moltra]

Plugins can be downloaded from serviidb via the API, I can setup a download page so that users can download multiple plugins at the same time from one page.
