Getting the plugin userdata path - tria - 2012-03-08
Hi,
Each plugin have a dedicated directory for it's own data for the user profile, usually (in Winodws, but in similar places in other OSs): %AppData%/XBMC/userdata/addon/plugin.name.here/
How do I get this path to store my file in a cross-platform way (won't break if I change system). It would be great if the path is under to the userdata of the current profile (or the master profile if it is the current one)
Thanks

PHP Code:
__addon__ = xbmcaddon.Addon(id='script.artwork.downloader')
__addondir__ = xbmc.translatePath( __addon__.getAddonInfo('profile') )

I'm a kodi dev noob, but how are xbmc and xbmcaddon imported?
