Quote:darkie, i just noticed sometimes when a python script crash, xbmc is totally frozen and so i need to restart the xbox.if python crashes xbmc will crash to, can't do anything about that. but python shouldnt crash at all :d
is this a known bug?
Quote:and what do you think about adding a debug log for python? so it would be easier to know where is the problem when the script crashes the xbox.
good idea. will do that.

dialog = xbmcgui.dialog()
list = ['kieren','nickname2','nickname3','nickname4', 'other...']
selected = dialog.select('rename xbox', list)
if selected != -1:
if selected == len(list)-1: list[selected] = 'osk'
if dialog.yesno('rename xbox', 'are you sure you want to rename your xbox', list[selected]):
nickname = open("e:\\udata\\nickname.xbn","w")
nickname.write('\x08\xe0\xac\x0f')
for character in list[selected]:
nickname.write(character + '\x00')
remainingbytes = range(0, 3400 - len(list[selected])*2 - 4)
for count in remainingbytes: nickname.write('\x00')
nickname.close()
is there or will there be any support for the on screen keyboard so i could add a custom names option to the above code?

hi darkie!
i just created a new script that reads the google news (every countries work) and display them by categories.
i would be honoured if you accept to be a beta tester for it :d

Quote:is there or will there be any support for the on screen keyboard so i could add a custom names option to the above code?no. but i can always have a look at it to add it.
Quote:darkie,no don't have it planned
are you planning to modify the windowexample script soon?
as some functions are not documented like :
setnavigation, removecontrol, setfocus for the window object are not very clear for me and the example is the only way to have infos about how to use them...
. but what still needs to be done is writing better documentation for python (there is none currently).but since i don't have time at all now, i can't add/create any new code / documentation for python.
maybe someone else is willing to make a start at this?
Quote:also, in my script i'm doing a dirty thing : i just add one more controlimage over the previous one to erase the screen in the same class. it uses memory for nothing so and it's too dirty. so how can i do that please?you can use removecontrol to remove all the controls.
you can also delete the window and create it again to start with a new clean window.

cool, thanks
btw i just made a dvd ripper if anyones interested
edit: i'll upload it to cvs
- alx5962 - 2004-02-19
thank you darkie!
i figured out how to use removecontrol and it works very nicely now!
do you have an email where i can send you my scripts?
- Gamester17 - 2004-02-20
script can be uploaded in file format here (upload url link) (please compress the script file/s with zip or rar before upload, thx)
- alx5962 - 2004-02-20
hi
i uploaded one of my script (tvguide) last week there and it's not in the cvs... also how to update them once they are uploaded?
- bobrooney_78 - 2004-02-20
where can i get these scripts?
i am just curious how they work.
- alx5962 - 2004-02-20
check the scripts included in the cvs on sourceforge.
mine are not available yet
- Zinger - 2004-02-22
should this work? or am i doing something wrong?
xbmc.player().play("[url]http://www.somesite.com/playlist.pls"[/url])
this does not seem to work for me either
xbmc.player().play("q:/scripts/playlist.pls")
or should i use
xmbc.playlist().play
thanks,
brian
- Kieren - 2004-02-22
never used a playlist but if you apply the same to an mp3 file it only works using \\ rather than /
xbmc.player().play("q:\\scripts\\playlist.pls")
as for playing a playlist on the web you have to download it first, look up some of the examples on how to do this or ask and i'll post one
- Zinger - 2004-02-23
xbmc.player().play("q:\\scripts\\playlist.pls")
does not work either. no error is generated, just does not play. the only thing i've gotten to work is playing the actual stream. also how should i handle playing a different stream. stop the first.
xbmc.player().stop() or something
and then play new stream
i'm having issues with subsequent play requests hanging.
thanks for the info.
- Kieren - 2004-02-23
when you play a new track, the one already playing will stop.
if you want to play the next track in a playlist you can use
xbmc.player().playnext()
edit: tried the code with playlists, it didn't cause an error but also didn't play the playlist. the python readme suggests you might have to create a playlist object which you can then play using the play() function but i've never tried it
- darkie - 2004-02-23
just a quick reply, playlist support in python is written but i did not have the time yet to test / complete it. this is the first thing i'll do when i have some time left for xbmc
Quote:would it be possible to include a version number in the future releases? as you added more (nice) features in the latest versions but some scripts don't work anymore. and so with a version number we could alert people their python version is too old to run the script.will do that.
