Automatically install Add-ons with script? - adamjrod - 2012-12-27

Is there a way to write a simple script to install a set list of add-ons and the short-cuts on the home screen sections? I install XBMC on alot of devices and I would just like to automate the whole process if possible?

For example, if I want Sportsdevil, Real Hulu and Navi-x installed along with a few others everytime, can I just run a script that does it all automatically for me - adds fusion, installs addons from repositories and then adds the shortcuts as well?

thanks in advance to anyone who can tell me the answer.

Just a wild idea and I have no idea if it will work. What if you just create a dummy add-on and in the addon.xml file you add all the add-ons that you want to install to the <requires></requires> section. Then zip this dummy add-on together and do an install from zip?
