For some reason the new skin 1066 will not get my card from xbox.com it will pop up saying downloading but then nothing it just stays at the default card?!?!?!?! is there no way of implamenting a card like the ones on mygamercard.net would be a nice alt as i always have problems with the current one or even redo the code ????

I too am having the exact same issue...
It says downloading, but then nothing happens. Please help.

welcome to the wonderfull world of scraping sites for info the sites change the scaper breaks. Unless someone who knows python can fix it, it will stay broke

Hope this doesn't sound snobby but, why wouldn't the MC360 team address the issue, since its their skin?

because these days mc360 team is pretty much me and blackbolt
and neither of us know python ao unless someone who knows python can fix it the solution we can do is remove the feature

Going back to what Morpheus said: would it be possible to include a script from mygamercard.net instead then? As long as someone makes one obviously... Or would that just run into the same problems?

Sure if soeone makes a working replacement that does all the same as the current did I will gladly add it

I put a request in the python scripting forum, so hopefully someone will sort it out. Its such a great feature of the skin, its a shame its not working.

You can find the thread here.

If someone can send me the current scriot (and supporting files it ties to if needed) then i will be willing to take a go at tieing it into my gamercard i did it before for my vB forum not that hard sometimes

Good idea, hopefully someone will code something up...

I'm sorry to bring this up again, but I was trying to edit the script for personal use earlier, but obviously it wouldn't work. Now, I'm pretty much entirely new to scripting but I compared the script html recompile method to extract the info and it is the same - I can see no reason for the scraping not working. Is it possibly that the script has been offset by any changes to XBMC rather than to Xbox.com?

send me the script (or just tell me which folder its located in lol to lazy to look) And i'll see what i can do for linking to mygamercard.com most likely there was changes to xbox.com's gamer card protocols they may have even made it not work on prupose u know cause there pissed XBMC owns there soul LOL

Should be fixed in the SVN thanks to Martomo

Nice, I just put those new files in and it worked great.

Is that all that needed changed? Just that 8 to a 7? Ether way good show.

Yeah pretty funny how small it was hey

D'oh!

I just spent the last hour resolving this problem (after downloading rev 1096 from Blackbolt's site)...

Though the small fix works, you can do slightly better. Here is my code, which goes in the GetGTNFO function of set_gamercard.py and gamercardupdate.py:



You'll never have to change a 7 to an 8 again, since this parses the whole page, but if the structure of the gamercard html changes too much then you'll of course have to rewrite the regex. This expression can handle some minor changes, which is better than before.

Thanks for this, it works for me!

YES!!! I've been patiently waiting for a fix for this problem.

Thank you, Demogorge, THANK YOU!!

couldn't of been waiting too hard it was fixed Mar 27 2008, 09:56 AM in the SVN if you look back a page

EDIT:
Oh shit, I got it, yay thanks!!

cause it worked (after not 1 but 2 xbox reboot) actually!!



Its kay




Hummmm.... starting from those two files (set_gamercard.py and gamercardupdate.py) I got in the SVN (Jezz), with or without the line "card_data = card_html[8]", and with the new ip of xbox.com (from 65.59.234.166 to 65.59.234.169) (In Kreten's last thread http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=672727).

My Xbox.com GamerCard isn't showing up still .

Anyone? Now that I've pretty much tried all I could find here.

I have rev1096 MC360...

Thanks for helping me

Me too. Mines not been updating since NXE, am assuming the htmls changed a lot with the introduction of avators. Tis a shame as it was one of the 'bragging features' which I loved to show my friends!
