I am really confused as to installing these.

I have read the first post but it seems more for the devopment then a how to.

Thanks

Hi dafunks, read this section in the wiki and let me know if you still have questions.

I'm not a python scripter but I was wondering if... - Gamester17 - 2007-09-06

is there now also as well a way via python plugin to use and display listings via directory services inside a python script?, ...I mean so that the plugin python directory services loonks to be integrated into a python scipt (similar to how WindowXML works).

Huh

You want to know if you can use xbmcplugin to fill a media list in a WindowXML python script?

I'm not sure I understand the advantage. You would not get the views or the sort by for instance.

Maybe I didn't understand.

Awesome, I've been hoping for something like this for a long time without knowing how to put it in words Big Grin

There's a lot of skilled python coders out there, but not everyone think it's fun to work on the layout. This way they can do what they do best: write code, and let the skinners worry about how things look Smile

I like it, works like a charm. But a quick suggestion:
Instead of having to browse from JooX Net -> Joox -> Categories, why not just skip the middle step ?

Just mount the categories path as your source.

Ah... Duh... Smile

http://xbmc-scripting.googlecode.com/svn/old/AppleMovieTrailersPlugin.zip only works with the current SVN which I just committed

I don't get it

I put the plug ins in the correct folder, I go to add source and go to the respective folder but it doesn't see the py fileHuh

what am I doing wrong Sad

You need a recent build and then do add source -> plugin.

- Nuka1195 - 2007-09-11

you only browse to the folder, not the .py file

Should the back .. be added by XBMC to plugin directories if it's enabled in settings?

- jmarshall - 2007-09-11

It should be, yes. XBMC should do this for any directory, regardless of content. It is not the plugin's role to accomplish this.

- EvilDude - 2007-09-11

Just used this feature in the latest T3CH, and it's very awesome Smile It looks great, and I might write a couple of plugins myself soon. This beats making your own window by a lot

Yes, so that python scripters could have the option to fill media lists in thier own WindowXML built GUI using xbmcplugin. The advantage would from the end-users perspective, the users would not have to use 'Add Source' and get the lists and updates options all from the same view/GUI in the script. Of course it would then be nice to have the same 'sort by' options inside the script lists views as well.
