RSS parsing help - plex plugin dev

klphoto

Hi everyone,

I am trying to create a plugin for Plex media center so I and others can view my photos from Plex.

Attached are two examples of python scripts that other plugins use in order to display photos by parsing through rss feeds. I was wondering if anyone could help me change one of them to work with smugmug because I haven't been able to get it to work yet. Thanks so much!

from PMS import Plugin, Log, XML, HTTP, JSON, RSS, Utils
from PMS.MediaXML import MediaContainer, DirectoryItem, PhotoItem

PLUGIN_PREFIX   = "/photos/JessicaClaire"
ROOT_URL        = "http://www.jessicaclaire.net"
RSS_FEED        = ROOT_URL + "/rss/"

def Start():
  Plugin.AddRequestHandler(PLUGIN_PREFIX, HandlePhotosRequest, "Jessica Claire", "icon-default.png", "art-default.png")
  Plugin.AddViewGroup("Pictures", viewMode="Pictures", contentType="photos")

####################################################################################################
def HandlePhotosRequest(pathNouns, count):
  if count == 0:
    dir = MediaContainer("art-default.png", None, "Jessica Claire")
    for item in RSS.Parse(RSS_FEED).entries:
      entry = XML.ElementFromString(item.description, True)
      imgs = entry.xpath('//img')
      if len(imgs) > 5:
        thumb = ''
        for img in imgs:
          if img.get('src').find('jessicaclaire.net/images/content') != -1:
            thumb = img.get('src')
            
        summary = entry.text_content()[:400] + '...'
        dir.AppendItem(DirectoryItem(Utils.EncodeStringToUrlPath(item.link)+'$'+Utils.EncodeStringToUrlPath(item.title), item.title, thumb, summary))
      
  elif count == 1:
    (url,title) = pathNouns[0].split('$')
    dir = MediaContainer("art-default.png", "Pictures", "Jessica Claire", Utils.DecodeUrlPathToString(title))
    count = 1
    for img in XML.ElementFromURL(Utils.DecodeUrlPathToString(url), True).xpath('//img'):

        url = ROOT_URL + img.get('src')
        dir.AppendItem(PhotoItem(url, 'Photo %d' % count, '', url))

I recently started running a Mac Mini (with Plex) as my media server, so having a plugin is something that I really want.

I started playing around with the Plex plugins for the first time last night and made some good progress. Not sure how long it will take to get a plugin fully up and running...but i'm excited with what i have so far.



Right now I only list galleries with no category/subcategory architecture, but that's definitely something I want.

Hi,
Did someone finally achieve this ?
The plex appstore provides picasa or flickr plugins, that would be awesome to have a smugmug one...

thanks
