PLSGen

[gunleik]

I've just uploaded my first "plugin". It's not really working inside MP so it might not be what you call a plugin, but anyway...

PLSGen will generate PLS files to store in the "RadioStreams"-folder. It's specially made to generate PLS' containing URLs with a date in it.

Starting this tread so theres somewhere for people to post any questions or their ini-files that contain archive download info.

You can dl here: http://www.team-mediaportal.com/files/Download/Plugins/Automation/PLSGen/

Heres the description you also find in the dl-page:
When I found out that I could make PLS-files with video streaming URLs in the RadioStreams folder I wanted to be able to have an archive of the local news there. The problem was that the URL included the date of the broadcast.

PLSGen will generate a PLS file for archived streams that have a date in the
URL.
e.g. mms://mms4.online.no/telas2pub/tv/tvt19012007.wmv and mms://mms4.online.no/telas2pub/tv/tvt18012007.wmv and so on.

The generated PLS-file can be automatically stored to your "RadioStreams"-
folder for easy streaming of the archive in MediaPortal.

You can set PLSGen to generate several dates back. E.g. to generate a PLS-
file with URLs of the last 7 days.

I recommend to schedule the running of the PLSGen script daily. Then you will
always have an updated archive in your MediaPortal stream folder.

AVG AntiVirus is reporting PLSGEN infected with a Trojan (backdoor) virus. See attached log.

Hi,
It doesn't here with Norman, Avira & Norton, maybe report it to AVG so they can look @ why it does.

I can confirm that AVG is reporting both executables in the zip file as containing a trojan.

If you trust me ;-) I can asure you that it is a false positive.

AVG has from time to time marked all autohotkey executable scripts as virus. Someone might have made a virus with this scripting language, and then AVG by mistake add some generic part of the executable to their definition files.

There have been some writing about it in the AutoHotKey forum. Heres a link to one of the posts about it;
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic13067.html

If you still trust me you can probably add the executable to a whitlist in AVG.

AVG reports that the files are infected with BackDoor.Generic8.JOL however I can't find any information on this particular virus/trojan. I believe it is a "generic" in that AVG doesn't know exactly what it is, but it matches some sort of criteria that AVG applies to detect such things. So it's not like AVG is actually able to peg down what it is.

I've scanned the file with a number of online scanners and it passed all.

I'm convinced it's a false positive.
