setSettings Help - teshephe - 2010-09-09
I am trying to use a script within my plugin to prepopulate items in the settings based on the local host, the script itself works up to the point of actually putting the returned data into the designated setting I have specified.
Here is my code:
Code:
import subprocess, platform
ipaddr=''
arg='ip route list'
p=subprocess.Popen(arg,shell=True,stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
data = p.communicate()
sdata = data[0].split()
ipaddr = sdata[ sdata.index('src')+1 ]
#netdev = sdata[ sdata.index('dev')+1 ]
localhost = '' + ipaddr
self.settings.setSetting(id="localhost", value=""+localhost+"" )Help would be appreciated. Thanks!

self.settings.setSetting(id="localhost", value=ipaddr)should work fine, if not post the debug log

Nope:
This is what I get:

Strange, it does if I run it in a python shell but does not in XBMC, Any Ideas??

what is the IP address from? the machine running xbmc?
Code:
import xbmc
self.settings.setSetting(id="localhost", value=xbmc.getIPAddress())- teshephe - 2010-09-09

Yes, all local.

@amet
made changes you suggest, still same error in debug
Code:
DEBUG: OnKey: 61453 pressed, action is Select
DEBUG: ------ Window Deinit (DialogContextMenu.xml) ------
DEBUG: ADDON: cpluff: 'Could not return information about unknown plug-in .'What else can I try to track down reason for error - is there some extra debugging I can use?

Thanks! I had to change it a little to Addon.setSetting(id="localhost", value=xbmc.getIPAddress()) though.
You rock!! Now how about that font question (bump)?

yeah, copy/paste can be a bitch

no way to set a different font for settings atm, sry

yeah but the settings dialog still doesn't show up!

works just fine here, what does it look like? any errors?
- chippyash - 2010-09-10
Amet Wrote:works just fine here, what does it look like? any errors?Only the error that I am showing you in the debug (cpluff error). The dialog simply doesn't display as I expect when I click on Addon Settings from the context menu.
I also ran the addon on my production XBMC server which is Ubuntu. Same problem
Also, can you point me to the up to date documentation for settings, I'd like to include it in the new documentation I'm writing - I think JM cc'd you in on the issue trac ticket
Thanks
