Cant get this to work..

No titles using the rss links given.

Sorry to hear it. Please try again with the full URL above (I edited it). The board truncated the text of the url.

still not working
on ps3 and xbox

Is anyone else having issues?

Are you able to watch Crackle.com online? What country are you in? Try going to the Crackle.com site copying a feed url and use that.

I just installed this plugin. I can get the Crackle videos to show up on my Panasonic Viera TC-P42X3, using a TC-P50X3 profile, but when I try to play them, I get a Can not read file message. Is anyone else having any problems with this plugin?

I have been able to get other plugins to work. CNN, TED and The Daily Show for starters, just not this one.

Works on the PS3 for me however its a never ending list. I guess it can be a good thing =)

I tried with this on Online RSS/Atom feed instead. It was already in another thread somewhere.


I also tried tried the ones in the initial post and named them as Crackle 2 and Crackle 3 since the name had already been taken by the first, but they wont show up.

thats a profile issue not a plugin one, use the offical profile and it should work.

Is anyone else experiencing issues playing Crackle videos? I have been using the latest plug-in for the last month or so and it has been working fine. Last Friday, playing of the videos stopped working whether I try to play them via my Popcornhour or in VLC 2.0. I'm running Serviio 6.2 on a headless Ubuntu server. Other RSS feeds are working fine. For the Crackle Feed URL, I am using http://www.crackle.com/rss/media/Zm14PT ... JmZ4PQ.rss

The plugin appears to parse out the contents of the feed OK, as I see the videos in the playlist, but the videos refuse to play.

I set the log level for Online feeds to Debug and restarted Serviio. As it starts to parse the Crackle videos, I see this:



When I try to play one of the URLs directly, I see this:

Any ideas?

Edit: Just an added note that the Crackle videos do play OK through Playon.

looks like they changed something on their end and the plugin has to be updated... try to contact the author

Thanks for the detail JerseyJoe123. I'll take a look this week.

Thanks!

They definitely made some changes. Haven't been able to track down a fix yet.

OK, thanks. I don't know if they were using it before, but it looks like they might have switched to RTMP streams.

Resolved. XBMC version still was working. Used the CDN location from their plug-in.

Excellent. Working like a charm again. Thanks!

I am still getting the list but none of the movies play. What must I change?

Copy the updated Cracle.groovy file in the first post to your plugins folder, and then restart Serviio.

Thanks JerseyJoe, it worked for a while but now it's all gone again! Maybe it was too good to be true.

Hmmm, it is still working for me. Did you happen to apply the plugin pack recently? It contained the older Crackle plug-in up until a couple of days ago.
