South Park XBMC Plugin
After taking a look through some source code of other plugins and following Voinage’s plugin tutorial, the result is South Park XBMC Plugin. This is my first attempt at putting together a plugin for XBMC, and as all other plugins go it’s written in Python.
The website xepisodes.com hosts most of the videos they provide on 4shared. Thankfully, it’s pretty easy to pull the direct FLV url from a 4shared embed line. Sometimes they serve links from novamov, but it’s so infrequent that I didn’t bother adding support for those links. They are also scrapable, but I would need to pull up another page first before getting direct access to the FLV.
The plugin first makes an index of all seasons. From there, you can go into individual seasons and select the episode which includes a thumbnail.
I’d like to expand on it a bit by adding support for season covers (maybe pull from the thetvdb.com’s API), plot, support novamov, and convert it into an addon for inclusion in the XBMC Dharma branch. For now, I’m just happy it works!
You can follow the support topic on the XBMC forum or download the South Park XBMC Plugin from GitHub.
