Hello there!!.. A plugin for daily motion

* fixed the proxy name to dailymotion-proxy.php instead of dmotion-proxy.php
* changed proxy path in res call to dailymotion/dailymotion-proxy.php
* fixed bug where only the last page of results was displayed ($count was set instead of $i)

Good job eskay!

I'm trying out the code now and making small improvements. I will try to publish it to svn later today and post back.

Ok, I finished making the changes (took a while, didn't it?) and I posted the plugin on SVN: http://svn.wdlxtv.com/revision.php?repname=UMSP&peg=240&rev=241

Changelog:

* res queries go to $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] instead of localhost

eskay - please try out the submitted plugin (make sure you are not overwriting it with your version on your box). See if there's anything broken. Also, look over the code and ask if there are things which are unclear. You did a good job with the code - I just tied a few loose ends.

Here are some things that can be improved in the plugin:

Code: Select all

TODO:
* search doesn't always work - e.g. searching for test works, but searching for katy doesn't (even if dailymotion returns results) - to investigate
* add pagination support (instead of downloading 3 pages, add a Next entry - similar to Vimeo)
* investigate if it's worth to migrate to the official API: https://github.com/dailymotion/dailymotion-sdk-php/blob/master/Dailymotion.php Might give back more data (or not).


If you want to make additional changes, send me a diff between your version and the svn version and I will patch it.

good work

[eskay]

thanks a lot @mad_ady & @KAD -

@mad_ady : i will have a look to ur changes and belive that it will be better than mine (ur expert).

TODO:
* search doesn't always work
add pagination support (instead of downloading 3 pages, add a Next entry - similar to Vimeo)

i will work on the todo's and pagination is already in my list. And loop was designed to select the no. of pages as given in user configuration.

And your encouragement will help me to publish the next "Indian Channel Forums"...

[mad_ady]

Also, I thought of another possible improvement - setting the sort order for the results. I believe you can request them in any order you want (most popular this week/most viewed this month) directly in the RSS XML form.

Hey i looked into ur changes and u madae it perfect.... So now the credit of this plugin should go to you mad_ady ... not to me.
and for me happy learning of PHP ....

[mad_ady]

If I take credit for it (or shared credit), then I must be available to maintain and troubleshoot the plugin as well... So, nice try, but the responsibility is yours

[eskay]

hello mad_ady,

As you suggested please update the pattern of dailymotion-proxy.php as below in SVN

Code: Select all

if(preg_match('/sdURL%22%3A%22(.*?)(?:%22%2C%22hqURL%22%3A%22(.*?))?(?:%22%2C%22hd720URL%22%3A%22(.*?))?(?:%22%2C%22hd1080URL%22%3A%22(.*?))?%22%2C%22allowStageVideo/', $content, $matched)){
   

Your assumption was right earlier pattern is failing if video of all formats are not available.

[mad_ady]

Hello eskay,

I pushed the fix in the svn. I've tested it a bit, and it seems to work.

I don't know why sometimes I get xml parsing errors, even if the returned content seems to be XML... For example, I get the exception now with Recent Videos:

Code: Select all

2011.08.12 08:36:48 DailyMotion - Error parsing RSS result: exception 'Exception' with message 'String could not be parsed as XML' in /tmp/umsp-plugins/dailymotion/dailymotion-helper.php:123
Stack trace:
#0 /tmp/umsp-plugins/dailymotion/dailymotion-helper.php(123): SimpleXMLElement->__construct('<?xml version="...')
#1 /tmp/umsp-plugins/dailymotion/dailymotion.php(67): _createVideoItems('http://www.dail...')
#2 /tmp/umsp-plugins/dailymotion/dailymotion.php(20): _pluginCreateVideoItems(Array)
#3 /usr/share/umsp/funcs-misc.php(18): _pluginMain('plugin=dailymot...')
#4 /usr/share/umsp/umsp-test.php(38): _callPlugin('umsp/dailymotio...', 'plugin=dailymot...')
#5 {main}


I guess there is a problem when getting the XML and the script gets an incomplete, or invalid XML file from time to time...
