  • EXCLUSIVE - Showtime Plugin Navi-X v1.0.5 - Updates, Fixes & Improvements

    Recently the world saw the release of facanferff's Showtime Plugin Navi-X v1.0, that contained several additions, improvements and important fixes. This update, Showtime Plugin Navi-X v1.0.5, is smaller than v1.0; but I recommend everyone to install this version, since it contains an updated reporting system, so reports with the old version will be discarded.


    Changelog
    - Add: Allow user set the source for playlist search in settings
    - Add: New default source for playlist search (in TMDB View)
    - Add: Support for IMDB Lists
    - Add: Search for entries from Item Menu
    - Add: Stats system
    - Fix: IMDB's Parents Guide would not show up
    - Fix: Parser PLX would join the last two items of a playlist wrongly
    - Enhacement: Improve reporting system


    Requirements
    - Showtime v3.99.448

    Installation:
    1. If you have one of the latest Showtime version (as required by the plugin) and installed previously the previous plugin it should be updated to the newest version once andoma updates the plugin repository with the new version.
    2. Access the Plugin Central inside Showtime to install the plugin.
    3. Put the zip archive available at https://github.com/downloads/facanfe...i-x/navi-x.zip in the directory <path to showtime>/installedplugins/

    Special thanks to (Alphabetically):
    - Andreas Õman (also known as andoma), for creating and maintaining the best alternative to XBMC)
    - opium2k, for creating mockups of both Array and TMDB views that ended being improved to the current state of them
    - Tyrant, for Beta Testing the plugin as the development happened

    FAQ
    How can I log in to navi-xtreme · verified user media
    In settings page of the plugin there should be an option that says "Login to http://www.navixtreme.com" click that. If you used before the previous version of the version and logged in and set to remember the credentials, this process will automatically use that information and adapt to the new authentication method otherwise you'll have to write your credentials. After doing this you never need to click this option again, just by starting Showtime with the plugin enabled will authenticate you.

    Where can I find facanferff, andoma, opium and Tyrant?
    In the channel #showtime on EFnet.

    What happens to my automatic reports the plugin creates?
    If you have the setting for it enabled, once you find a processor not working (generally giving a message starting with "Processor error: "), the plugin will call immediately a website hosted by the plugin's developer that might use the URL, processor and error to debug the problem and fix if it applies. If you want to get information on the current status of a report contact facanferff (via the channel mentioned in this FAQ) and provide your user id and the report id.

    For information on what is user id and report id, consult Showtime Plugin Navi-X

    If you want to contact the developer to get the status of the report and if you know that the report is for a processor that was reported only that time you may just provide your user id and processor name.

    Which reports get a higher priority?
    The reporting system sets automatically a priority checking the url and processor in the test bed at navi-xtreme · verified user media, if in that test it has success then it is given High priority. If the test also gives an error but different than the one you obtained, it will be given a Medium priority, otherwise it is given Low priority.

    What is the goal of the Stats System?
    The Stats System is to be used by the developer to get knowledge of the usability of the plugin for the users. No personal information is gathered in this process.

    I'm a developer and would like to know about those exclusive features of the plugin's API, where may I find those informations?
    Shortly after the release of this version, facanferff will release a tutorial explaining all of those exclusive features.

    I would like to report or suggest about something not related directly to processors, where can I do it?
    You should use the official Bug Tracker website for the plugin available at Overview - Showtime Plugin Navi-X - Home Theater System . You don't need to provide your user id here.
    Note: Reporting non working processors in this website will not give you a higher priority.

      Tested, it's lower than the previous one, loading times are long, maybe it's because it works on the new not yet stable version of showtime???

      It's better than the previous. What happens is that navi-xtreme · verified user media server is stressed because it is weekend, once the week starts you'll see it in full speed. And I would not release something that I knew that was not of quality.

      You don't need to download that zip archive. Just open Showtime, if you had v0.9 installed it will automatically upgrade to the current version otherwise just install there.

      I do have a version of showtime installed which apparently has auto updates like you just said, but I have never seen it update anything. How do I know when it does it?

      For that feature work you had to have the previous version of the plugin installed, if it is installed when booting Showtime it will popup a message saying the plugin was upgraded to a specific version. If you never had the plugin installed browse inside Plugins and install it.

      When I go to "Global Settings" it shows Navi-X under "applications and installed plugins" but it isn't popping up about any updates. I'll try restarting showtime a couple of times.

      Possibly you have already the newest version, try open it and tell me if the GUI is similar to the first photo I shown here or if it just shows a list of strings.

      When I load it up I navigate the menus to get to "Watchseries TV" and yeah it is just a long list of stuff which I assume is what you mean by a list of strings.

      Thanks. I was trying to get the auto update thing to work but it doesn't matter too much since I can just do it manually.

      Very nice plugin by the way. This is the most used thing on my PS3... I use it every day it is great! Much love xxx

      It didn't work for me either. I updated last week, but had to update again to the version I linked you to to get the auto updater to work

      @facanferff - I love this app. Thanks for keeping it updated. I did notice with the new layout that when you're looking through a long list of movies for example, when you go down to the bottom the last movie and the next button are the same thing. You can never select the last movie. It's a small bug and not a big deal - just letting you know it's there. Thanks man

      I can't get this to work. I get page load error unable to open resource Navi-x:start no handler for URL. What am I doing wrong? I have version 1.0.1. Thanks

      you're not doing anything wrong. You hit a dead link. If you can't find what you're looking for then you can hook up a usb keyboard and do a manual search by keyword. You'll usually come up with at least 5 links to the same show/movie
