I've actually tried it both ways. Running it locally on the computer and connecting to 127.0.0.1 (with SAB installed and verified via a web browser - all settings on SAB default), as well as having it connect through my router to SAB running on another box on my LAN, trying it with both it's internal IP and external IP. All of those tests give the same error message.

There should be a webexception in your error.log file. If you can show me that, it should help.

jburnette,

Actually, there are no webexception errors in the log file. Should i try the plugin with a different skin? I'm currently using Replicant.

 

[jburnette]

If you are using 0.2 (and you probably are) open up myusenet.xml in the replicant skin directory and find this:

<control>
<description>connected label</description>
<type>label</type>
<id>15</id>
<posX>1180</posX>
<posY>585</posY>
<label>?</label>
<font>font12</font>
<width>130</width>
<align>left</align>
<textcolor>ccffffff</textcolor>
</control>


Change the type from label to fadelabel and see if that fixes your problem. I think what may be happening is that it it's throwing an exception because the plugin is referring to a control that doesn't match the type specified. That halts the plugin.

 

[Ryoga79]

Sadly, that didnt' fix it...i tried it both as label and fadelabel (it was actually fadelabel to begin with), and i recieve the error both ways.

 

[jburnette]

You did restart MP after making the change, right? Also, is there any kind of error at all in either error.log or MediaPortal.log that is thrown when entering other than "No translation found..."?

 

[Ryoga79]

Yes, MP wasn't actually running when i made the change, so it was a fresh start after i made it. as for the error logs, i'll post my log snippet below:

2007-08-06 13:21:53.609375 [ERROR][MPMain]: Exception ystem.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

Thing being, i'm not sure if this is related at all, or is actually being generated by the tvserver plugin. Thoughts?

 

[jburnette]

Yea, that shouldn't be related to this plugin. I use the HttpWebRequest protocol. Is that the only error you have? Also, just to be thorough, are you using the format iport for SAB's address?

 

[Ryoga79]

yes, all i have in the "address" filed is:

127.0.0.1:8080

which is what SAB is config'ed for. As for error messages, everything else actually has "tvplugin" in the text of the error, so it looks like that's all that's listed.

 

[jburnette]

I've got one final idea. If this doesn't work I'll have to think about it. If you open up myusenet.xml in the Plugins/Windows directory, can you verify that it looks something like this:

<myusenet>
<grabber>SABnzbd</grabber>
<auth>False</auth>
<pathtostatus>yourpath</pathtostatus>
<updatedelay>1</updatedelay>
<username />
<password />
<ipport>127.0.0.1:8080</ipport>
</myusenet>

Also, pay attention to the case of "False" & "SABnzbd" if you edited the file yourself. Lowercase would cause problems. The updatedelay doesn't matter as long as it is above .01.
