Lostfilm.tv changed, plugin starts to produce only the errors
Starting from today 30.1.2017 plugin on my Raspberry 3 stoped to work at all. As I can see, Lostfilm had changed their site. So, is it a time to change something in a plugin? This is the error codes:
ERROR: EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<--
- NOTE: IGNORING THIS CAN LEAD TO MEMORY LEAKS!
Error Type: <type 'exceptions.ValueError'>

I have investigated the new lostfilm site yesterday, and while it is possible to tweak the plugin to be used with new authentication and series list, I saw no way to get the actual download link for an episode.
The page (popup) with download links is opened with javascript "onclick" event (haven't found the definition of the function). The url of this popup have 6 params:
- series id (pretty easy to get it)
- season number (no problems here)
- episode number (also no problems)
- user id (available on the profile page, just have to get it and cache)
- some kind of MD5 hash (a mystery)
- last parameter is always 1 (at least for me it is)
So basically, if one will figure out what this mysterious MD5 hash is, then current plugin can be updated.
Update: Just found the way to get download links. So for now I see nothing that could stop this plugin from being updated. Maybe will try to do it myself, though, I'm not a python specialist.
Ksantor, I made those changes, which are fixing underscores, but logs still have showed above errors. There is something wrong with browse_episodes subprogram. As I was able to understand, it can't load nothing from site.
Underscores were fixed by myself in a stupid easy manner, previously, I just changed faulty episodes IDs to the 191 ID in the scraper.py file. Just added two strings of python code. That was the top of my knowledges of this language. After approximately two weeks there was four-five IDs in a "database":) Tommixoft had saw the root of problem. And fixed it totally. But now IMHO it is a global trouble.
@Jabberwacky this is due to the complete redesign of the LostFilm.tv site. Unfortunately the underscore fix is useless now, and much more work has to be done to get the plugin working again:
- update the authentication flow
- update the series and episodes list parser
- update the series library parser
I'm not sure, if @anteo is interested in maintaining/updating this plugin further, but I'll try to fix it myself, though, can't promise a fast result.
That would be perfect :)))! Unfortunately, I know a little about web programming. Better to say know nothing. So I can't help.
P.S. January 2017 anteo has no activity yet for this period. May - December 2016 anteo had no activity during this period.
Sure, noble Anteo started to work on more interesting projects... So, dear Ksantor, you are - the only ours hope :)
Lostfilm.tv changed their website so this plugin is doomed or have to be all regex and url rewritten in addon.
With Kodi addons is hard to develop cause you cant debug it.
It's a bunch of work to rebuild all in an addon... Nobody knows this plugin as its creator. I guess, if Anteo will not take part in this work, no one will load it on his shoulders. LostFilm RIP
Guys, I'll do my best, because I used this plugin heavily myself and don't want to let it go just like that.
@Tommixoft eveything is not so bad as it looks.
@Ksantor - im .NET, php programmer i dont write python, but anyways when i look at source - he almost never use TRY, he never check is list empty or null. he just uses variables not even thinking that it may be empty or some error may happen. That's why underscore broke plugin. Its minor problem but broke whole plugin :) I know now underscore is least of problem, but first undersscore broke plugin, well datetime format broke it, then underscore and now web page redesign :D
It is my style of work ;) This addon is splitted aparts pretty well. The only way to debug everything - is to see the logs. Annoying. I am a, commonly, VB.NET 'programmer' VisualStudio - is the only programming environment for me.
Just to keep everybody informed:
Made a fork. Nothing important to see there yet, but will keep working on it!
почему все общаются на английском про сайт, который переводит фильмы на Русский?
Because for example i do understand russian good but i cant write in russian :)
:)))) вай нот? Кому-то может оказаться интересной информация по этому аддону, но он может не знать русского. А может смотрит знакомые сериалы на русском, чтобы его изучить? Я просто забыл о сути самого аддона и был огорчен его сбоем и думал как его починить. Все что у меня получалось ранее с этим аддоном - вырезать часть таймстемпа, чтобы не было глюков с изменившимся таймстемпом файлов и заменять сбойнутые имена на гарантированно нормальное, когда возникла ошибка с подчеркиванием. Оказалось, что предстоит работка на порядки более сложная. О том, что показывал аддон, я совсем забыл.
Looks like I made some real progress!
Will test it myself in "real life". In case of success will post *.zip links and a README in my repo.
Uploaded a first version in my repo. You can check it out and open new issues, if you'll find any bugs or encounter any problems.
@Ksantor sad but doesnt work. and your repo doesnt have ISSUES tab. installed on 2 systems when i go to plugin it shows 0 items. no menu, nothing... like im in empty folder.

@Tommixoft, looks like some SSL error. Previous implementation used http for authentication. I've changed the urls to https (by the way, be careful, lostfilm.tv web page doesn't switch to https by default).
If you don't mind sending your credentials for lostfilm.tv account over http, you can try to fix it youself:
in \AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\plugin.video.lostfilm.tv\resources\lib\lostfilm\network_request.py change
20: BASE_URL = "https://www.lostfilm.tv"
21: POST_URL = "https://www.lostfilm.tv/ajaxik.php"
to:
20: BASE_URL = "http://www.lostfilm.tv"
21: POST_URL = "http://www.lostfilm.tv/ajaxik.php"
Should help.
Meanwile, I'll try to understand, what is the problem with SSL.
P.S. Added "Issues" page to my repo.
Thanks. Will try. Maybe you're using linux? windows is not so easy with ssl. Maybe you can somehow bypass SSL veryfication and so on.
@Ksantor Not working anyways...log became even smaller. Plugin still shows 0 entries, no even static menu like "My Library".

Нашел временное решение: В plugin.video.lostfilm.tv/resources/lib/lostfilm/scraper.py поправил переменную: BASE_URL = "http://www.lostfilm.tv" на BASE_URL = "http://old.lostfilm.tv" Плагин заработал, со старой регистрацией. Не знаю, сколько еще проживет old.lostfilm.tv, но адаптация под новый сайт, это не просто замена url на новый, парсер также нужно править. P.s. у меня работает на Ubuntu 16.04 + kodi 17 и Xiaomi Mi Box Android TV 6 + kodi 17 Последний раз редактировалось eczo; Вчера в 13:24.
@Jabberwacky just found the same thing about an hour ago while was investigating the new lostfilm site. Really looks like a valid solution, though, yea, who knows for how long the old site will be active.
I have started porting of the the original addon to work with the new Lostfilm interface. Please, find the project via the link: https://github.com/winnipeg8/plugin.video.lostfilm.tv. Looks like it is workable. Basically, the only changes I have done are in "resources/lib/lostfilm/" folder. The biggest issues so far are: 1) their new authentication protocol (I am still using the old one); 2) details information parsing. It would be really cool, if someone could help me with these problems. Also, don't get mad on my code changes - I am not a professional:)
@winnipeg8 original plugin was written poorly. I more like @Ksantor version. Also i started to create new features to Ksantor version. Of course it's SUPER basic now. I think it will never have Library support, which anyways was broken in original plugin. This new version will be (at least so far) online, no caching of series, episodes. Full read of everything from website (favorites for example)
