Can anyone else confirm this is working for them?

Doesn't work for me. I'm using Serviio 0.6.2, plugin set up as webresource.
Log:
2012-02-06 16:12:39,457 WARN [FeedUpdaterThread] An error occured while scanning for online item information, will continue

Odd. I'm not getting any errors with this. The date in the error message seems to follow the format I am parsing. I even tested it in Groovy console. I'll take a look this week.

I forgot to mention i'm using http://www.escapistmagazine.com/rss/videos/list/1.xml from 1. post as source URL.
Since you can't reproduce error yourself, here is full log:

Hope that will be any help. I'm looking forward for this feed

Wondering if this has to do with localization rules in date parsing. What country setting do you have? What is are you running?

I'm running windows 7 64-bit Home Premium SK, so it's Slovak localization with dd.mm.yyyy date format. Also i'm using jre7 from jdk1.7.0_02

Tried this out on Synology NAS running 0.6.2 (Linux with en_US.utf8 locale) and I got an empty folder.

New version resolving date parsing issue.

New version. Added a user agent when retrieving the json settings for the video.

I was having some issues with this plugin and after some debugging I found that the matcher does not work with the recent page changes.

To fix it change line 54 from

  Code:

def matcher = pageContent =~ '<param name="flashvars" value="config\\=(.*?)"\\/>'

to

  Code:

def matcher = pageContent =~ 'config=(.*?)%3Fplayer_version%'

Of course this might change again by the time you read this.

Thanks,
Nick
