osb.xml content not appearing in Guide

Postby VidEoh on Sun Feb 28, 2010 9:09 am

According to the changelog for v1.8a, "Premium content sites are now defined in an external file (osb.xml)".

Viewing the osb.xml file, I see a lot of premium sites listed, but they don't all appear in the guide.

Any ideas?

the osb.xml file contain the matching strings in a URL and the position of the flash window on the page displayed

until you add these to your internet video listings/rss listings they won't be used

Here's an example that I just added to my osb.xml, for anyone into photography this is a cool pod cast

1) First I added the RSS for D-Town TV to my browser
2) Viewed properties for the feed and copied the details to a new entry in TVersity

http://kelbytv.com/dtowntv/feed/rss/

3) Next edite the osb.xml file and added the following, note that it took a little trial and error to get the exact coordinates for the flash video - with some additional reading I've found that you can add the player id (class) I've not tried this as yet though

<site>
<match>kelbytv.com/dtowntv</match>
<clip x="2" y="164" width="590" height="343"/>
</site>

4) Note that the match string is contained within the URL for the RSS

It's early days so I'm sure much more detailed guides/tools etc will hit the forums to help folks out

shunte:

Thanks for the explanation and example - I'll have to do some experimenting.

I was misled by the statement that additional premium sites were supported - and since I saw them in the file, I expected them to be listed in the guide.
