TVE received huge improvement and is no working anymore (1 Viewer)

Wow! Doskabouter, if you could explain how do you did it for "Clan TVE" maybe i could do the same with www.mitele.es and www.lasexta.com/lasextaon for all the spanish users of mediaportal.
Thank you for your work.

I did it all with the siteparser, see http://code.google.com/p/mp-onlinevideos2/wiki/SiteParser

Thanks for your quickness.

I,ve been trying to use siteparser with the two url´s avobe and i can get categories and subcategories, but i´m not able to get the video list. There is something on the source code i don´t understand and i give up. I think siteparser is really a good tool but the user must be more advanced than me. (My english is not good enought neither). Thanks for the guide. Bye.

Too bad you're giving up so fast. Sure it has a steep learning curve, and all those webmasters are doing their best to hide things, but the end-result can be very rewarding!

Edit: Just investigated mitele.es, and that one needs some c# programming to play the videos...

I investigated time ago about www.mitele.es, www.lasexta.com/lasextaon and www.antena3.com/videos/ but they all need c# coding to have ALL the data correctly. Antena3 and lasexta are easyer than mitele to implement, but you need to know some .NET coding, how to mount the project and the methods to override to implement them. I'm not .NET coder (I'm java coder), I really don't know how to mount the .NET project (but I don't think it would be dificult) and i searched for an explanation of witch methods do I had to override but I didn't found this info nowhere. So it's difficult for me to do it, but if nobody does it, maibe in a future (espect near future) i'll try to implement those.

Why do you say it is complicated? There are plenty of really small projects with siteutils (c# class) that do what you need. You can easily browse them on google code or with a svn checkout in visual studio.

I know that,, but can you tell me which methods do i have to implement/override? I searched for those in the wiki but i can't find anything.
I.e. https://code.google.com/p/mp-online...s/OnlineVideos.Sites.offbyone/MetaCafeUtil.cs overrides Initialize and getUrl methods, https://code.google.com/p/mp-online...ojects/OnlineVideos.Sites.offbyone/WDRUtil.cs overrides DiscoverDynamicCategories and getVideoList. I don't know where can I search witch methods do i need to override (i can see the methods in GenericSiteUtil obviusly, but don't know why override one and no other). I also want to know if this combines with siteparser info, or once needed to do some coding all the parsing have to be done here. And i don't know how to link this coded site and test/link it with OV. Dedicating a lot of time (i'm not an expert coder, nor .NET coder) and asking a lot i would achieve it, but if i woud have that info somewhere, maibe any example explained, it would be much easyer for me (and I supose for more people). Thanks in advance.

If you start a fresh site you should inherit from SiteUtilBase.
https://code.google.com/p/mp-online...trunk/OnlineVideos/Sites/Base/SiteUtilBase.cs
All virtual methods that you can override have a detailed explanation on top (in visual
Studio you should see it pop up in the intellisense when writing override in your class). You only have to override one method, but depending on how you want to generate categories, add search, ... maybe more.

Inheriting from GenericSiteUtil is only useful when you can use most of the stuff implemented there.

For a simple start, install MP in the default directories, checkout the complete Onlinevideos SVN, open it in VS and implement your site in one of the siteutil projects that is already there. (You can even simply put your code into an existing class to get to the goal even faster).

OK thanks for the info. I will try to start with a simple site i.e. https://code.google.com/p/mp-online...ojects/OnlineVideos.Sites.offbyone/WDRUtil.cs to view how this works and later try before told sites. Another question,, wich version of .NET are you using to code?
