I soon will publish some documentation. What site are you thinking about? Maybe i can help…

I promise to write a tutorial for adding new channels to tvalacarta and pelisalacarta. Soon you will see why i delayed this so much, but meanwhile these are the steps for pelisalacarta and the channels you need.

1) Add the new channel in channelselector.py. This script shows the channel list, and you will see the actual channels this way:
Note that the first parameter is the "visual" name, and the second parameter is the internal name. This internal name is very important. The third parameter is the function in each channel who starts the proccess (see above)

In your case this will be:
2) Create and put a logo for the new channel in the "resources/images" directory, with the internal name as file name and PNG extension.
3) Create a new file for your channel in the channels directory, with the internal name as file name. It's better to use an existing channel as reference. Copy and paste pintadibujos.py, for example, one of the newest and easiest channels.
4) In the begining of the file, change the startup variable CHANNELNAME with the name of your channel
5) And now the hardest part. The first function "mainlist" gets the first page to show when you enter the channel. It's called from channelselector, so you have to start the process here. Change the starting URL.
Change the regular expression, in order to extract the video list.

In the first site, you can see from the page that each movie present this HTML block:
Here you have all you need. Link to movie page ("index.php?p=ogladaj&id=1551"), title ("Tsotsi / Thug [2005] Lektor") and thumbnail ("images/1240658045_Tsotsi (2005) lektor.jpg").

Your regular expression should be something like this
I can't make this a regular expression tutorial, but here is a few tricks:

• The fragment [^<]+ means continue until you find the character <
  The fragment [^"]+ means continue until you find the character "
  When you put somethig between "(" and ")", you mark it as something you need to extract later

6) Now the extraction part: There are 4 variables you need to fill, using the results from the above expression. All the results for each movie are stored in an array named match, so you only need to give each one the correct value. match[0] is the first value between parenthesis, match[1] the second, etc. In the case of tvfilmy:
7) Adding to the list. If you have find a movie, the last point is adding it to the list. Use the function "xbmctools.addnewfolder" and specify where to go if the user selects this movie. In this case you can have a second function "detail" as in the case of the pintadibujos channel.

8) The rest of the process for tvfilmy is easy. The same detail function used by pintadibujos should make the work for tvfilmy, because it uses the video connectors of pelisalacarta. They sould locate all the videos in the page:
9) All the vídeos it can find are added to the list, with the function "play" as the next step when a user selects one.
10) The play function launches the player:

From this point, you only need to do a lot of tests

When i develop my plugins, i change the resolution of xbmc to 640x480 in Windowed mode. This way i can navigate in the plugin while i watch the log seeing what is happening.

Good luck, and return here with any question.

jesus please .. can you write for my file for this schannel tvfilmy.pl ?i can see evryfing diferent.sorry for my english
