There's a new version up on the Beta repo 0.9.60301 which changes the way playback is reported to the server to use the newer API.

 

Please test as much as you can with regards playing, stopping etc. One of the improvements is correct reporting of the playback and play method to the web client.

Quick update, it's version 0.9.60302 that should resolve the trakt issue reported.

Just so I'm not messing around with the wrong stuff, this is the repo I need?

Do I have to uninstall the current version of the repo first?  Or can they run in tandem?

Does scrobbled happen instantly as the content played ends? If it is, then it's not reporting to Trakt. At least, not in a stable way. 0 out of 3 episodes scrobbled. 1 out of 1 movie scrobbled (will need to test further).

 

Also, it seems the playback progress is stuck after I'm done watching an episode. It still reports in MBS after the episode is long over or I start a new episode. I will do further testing and post appropriate logs later.

 

This error keeps being thrown in my log (not exactly sure what was happening at the time):

the only thing we're testing here is that Xbmb3c is reporting correctly to MBS. you can verify this in the server's activity log based on the presence of the entry user has stopped playing xyz. what the trakt plugin then does with that notification is beyond the control of xbmb3c, and should be reported in the plugin area.

@@Luke, I understand that I should report the problem to the Trakt plugin. I was simply asking what was the devs expectation regarding the fix, since im82588 mentioned it. Something they did definitely worked. I'm getting scrobbled instead of manually marked as watched. It also reports what I'm currently watching to it.

Version: XBMB3C 0.9.60302, MBS 3.0.5413.14205

 

Tested:

  • Report playback headers
  • Profile switch
  • Watched for possible fix of Trakt -scrobbled vs manually marked as watched

Report:

I finished watching an episode using XBMB3C and MBS seems to report it for a couple of minutes after it ended. I checked the log and there's and error being thrown when stopping content. It could be the reason why the report fails. The "has stopped playing" happened 3 minutes later.

Profile switch: This was recently fixed. It seems to be a different variation of the same problem. When I try the profile switch, it will see the new user instantly in MBS and a few seconds later, it will switch back to the original account. The previous problem was that it did not even acknowledge the profile switch. Content is back to being played under the wrong MBS account.

 

Trakt scrobbled report: It seems to now scrobble watched content. It will also report what I'm currently watching. However, could the current error reported above cause the Trakt plugin to not scrobble reliably? Only 2 out 10+ episodes scrobbled.

__________________________________________________________

Unrelated inquiry: Where should I report other bugs that I see in 0.9.60302? Can we do something like the MBS (dev) forums, with a specific post for every major versions? This would allow to group up relevant posts regarding the beta repo with some sort of organisation.

@@Angelblue05 - Thanks for the reports. The problem when you stop should now be fixed in version 0.9.60304 and this could well fix the trakt issue. For the switching profile, I looked at the code again and nothing stands out. Can you set the log level to debug in the addon and post your log here? That may reveal something. And for reporting bugs on the beta version I changed the title of this thread and pinned it.

Thank you all for your quick replies! You guys are awesome. If I knew programming, I would love to get more involved in the XBMB3C project.

______________________________________________________

[Resolved in 0.9.60305] After more research and getting a reply from Luke (I almost typed Sheldon ^_^), it seems something is missing between XBMB3C and MBS. This is why the Trakt plugin is having a hard time scrobbling content watched using XBMB3C vs instant scrobble using the Webclient. It might be worth looking into it to make this version even better!

 

Inquiry:

I've observed my MBS server logs for a few hours. I would love if a dev would explain how MBS works regarding the following lines. I'm just trying to figure out what's causing Trakt to not scrobble everytime I finish watching something using XBMC.

 

After an episode ended using the webclient -SessionWebSocketListener: This seems to be what Trakt depends on to know when to scrobble content.

2014-10-30 20:00:21.4522 Debug - SessionWebSocketListener: Received ReportPlaybackStopped message
2014-10-30 20:00:21.4522 Debug - HttpServer: HTTP Response 204 to 192.168.0.189. Response time: 4.0002 ms.

2014-10-30 20:00:21.4522 Info - Trakt: Item is played. Scrobble

After an episode ended using XBMB3C -App: Session: This seems to allow the episode to be scrobbled. It is absent in most cases. Only 2 out of 10 episodes scrobbled. The following info only appeared twice in my log.

2014-10-30 13:51:18.8780 Debug - App: Session 2bbba06a0964415c8b37627a5da150f5 has gone idle while playing
2014-10-30 13:51:18.8780 Info - Trakt: Item is played. Scrobble

Possible solution:

Is there a way for XBMB3C to communicate SessionWebSocketListener: Received ReportPlaybackStopped message to MBS after watching a show/movie? It seems XBMB3C doesn't report to the server that playback has stopped.

 

If you see has gone idle while playing, then that indicates the client never reported to the server that playback stopped, so eventually the sees that it has stopped responding and removes the now playing item.

@@Angelblue05 - there is a new version up 0.9.60305. This may help with the trakt reporting...but do not expect much with the profiles (as I have no clue at the minute why it's keeping the old user). Please test again though.

[Resolved] I've tried the latest version 0.9.60305. I checked both my logs (XBMB3C and MBS) and I don't think XBMB3C reported that playback has stopped unless this line found in my MBS log would be it? If it is, then is it possible to send the specific SessionWebSocketListener line to MBS after playback?

I have retried the profile switch and it still does not work. I experience the same issue using @ version. As always, I'll be searching and testing like a mad woman to try and find the problem.

 

Inquiry: This is working in the latest stable version. What was modified since? Maybe it could give us clues as to what went wrong?

 

Webclient play to device feature:

I'm not able to send content to play to XBMB3C via the webclient. This option has been unavailable since I've started using the beta repo. I thought it was because I was using MBS dev version, but I was incorrect. It is most definitively something with XBMB3C. I've tested the same feature using MBCon (null_pointer fork version) and it worked. I don't know what is required for this feature, but it's no longer working.

The MB3 server in adding additional security, and we had to completely change the way that we make requests to the server.  Our code was admittedly sloppy before having been written over the period of a year, with multiple different ways of requesting data.  

 

We must have broke something in this process, but it was a pretty major re-write so it is not surprising.  

 

On the web client issue - that is weird because it works for me.

I know that it works for you @@xnappo :). We had that conversation recently, I just thought I'd bring it back up. I installed a clean version of XBMC Gotham on my personal computer with two profiles (one using MBCon and the other XBMB3C). When I'm on the profile that uses XBMB3C, the Webclient does not allow me to send content to play and when I'm using MBCon, it allows me to.

 

[Answered] If you are willing to share with me what is required for the feature to work (or at least send me in the right direction), I can most likely pinpoint why this feature is no longer working (for me? It's hard to say, not many beta users out there). I will also ask in the MBS section of the forums.

Thanks to ebr, I can now tell you what the problem is after he replied to my post in the MBS section of the forums. It seems that XBMB3C is not reporting to the server what type of media it can play.

 

[Resolved in version 0.9.60306] I'm having difficulty sending content to play to my XBMB3C using the Webclient. Any other types of client works just fine. What exactly is missing to get this feature working? Is something not being communicated to the server? I thought maybe it had to do with Sessions/Capabilities/PlayableMediaTypes. Please help me by pointing me in the right direction to narrow down why I can't use the "Webclient Play To" feature.

 

In MBS server log, I get the following error when I try to play content to XBMB3C:

Yes, that error would indicate that the target system is reporting it cannot play the type of item you are attempting.  Or, rather, it is NOT reporting that it can.

Since profile switch works on stable, I thought it'd be the best way to find out what's going on. Please bare with me as this is just guesswork. I really hope this helps!

 

XBMB3C Stable log: "Looking for user name" happens multiple times. Therefore, the correct saved UserID is always returned and used. 

12:04:15 T:8632  NOTICE: XBMB3C DownloadUtils -> Looking for user name: Acct_test
[...]
12:04:15 T:8632  NOTICE: XBMB3C DownloadUtils -> Username Found:Acct_test
12:04:15 T:8632  NOTICE: XBMB3C DownloadUtils -> userid : 1016128de9c7ad83de8f203cf9137c51
12:04:15 T:8632  NOTICE: XBMB3C DownloadUtils -> DownloadUtils -> Returning saved UserID : 1016128de9c7ad83de8f203cf9137c51

XBMB3C Beta log: "Looking for user name" only happens once when loading XBMC, even with a profile switch. It just keeps returning the same saved UserID because the information is never refreshed until XBMC restarts and pulls the new information.

 

Possible solution: I understand there is no need to keep looking for user name multiple times, like before. However, is it possible to make it happen once, when a different profile is loaded? I think this would solve the issue, if it's possible. You guys are the devs, you know what's best.  ^_^

@@Angelblue05 - thanks for the deep investigation..I think it does reveal an issue with our caching mechanism. I am going to try something and put a new version up to test soon. Also for the play to feature from the web client I have a suspicion when you tested it with the mbcon fork the MB3 server you were using did not have authorisation activated for xbmc...I think Luke turned it off for the last Beta release. Regardless I can now see we do not announce what we are capable of playing since we moved to the new Playback API. Again I'll have a change up for that in the next hour or so.

 

Thanks :)

Version 0.9.60306 is up on the beta repo. 

 

This should fix the play to issue from the web client and may fix the profile issue...if not a bit more logging was added so hopefully we will get there :)

 

Also included is the fix for people using the latest Helix Builds.

The new version doesn't show up when I force refresh the beta repo?
