My motherboard has gone out on me again, so probably no more testing from me for a couple more weeks.

EDIT: Sweet. Resurrected. Will try more stuff.

Ah, ok. It might be that this already works with the newer V0.6 releases (V0.6h for example): There is a new option in config.xml "useFilenameAsCRC". If you set this to "True" you can go to your description file and set the short filename as crc value and leave the game name with the full name. Now RCB should find the game via short file name but displays the full game name while browsing.

If you don't want to spend too much time with testing and playing around: I want to upload a new preview version in the next days that comes with the correct pysqlite libraries for 64bit systems. I would like to ask you to test if this works out of the box for you (without manually copying the pysqlite libs).

Oha. I hope it gets not too hot while searching for pysqlite libraries. Maybe we have to hurry upSmile. But I don't want to force you to waste the last hours between you and your mainboard with RCB testing.

Did you already test other addons that use pysqlite? I only know the iPhoto plugin atm. Not sure if there are more that already converted to the new system.

I have seen that they have one more line in the addon.xml:
Code:
<import addon="script.module.pysqlite" version="2.5.6"/>

Maybe I have to add this, too.

- malte - 2010-08-01

Ok, just for testing: I have added this line to addon.xml. But I am not sure if this will help. It is available as V0.5.2 in the downloads: http://romcollectionbrowser.googlecode.com/files/Rom%20Collection%20Browser%20V0.5.2%20-%20Addon.zip


I also found this thread on this topic: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=77708. So may be that this module is not built by default. But from your search it looks like they are already available on your system (/usr/lib/xbmc/addons/script.module.pysqlite).

- bmfrosty - 2010-08-01

It failed as well. I went ahead installed the iphoto plugin. It gives the same error.

I'm going to do an apt-get upgrade and see if a newer version of the xbmc packages does the job.
It seems like it may be something about my installation, but I'm using normal xbmc packages:

http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ppa/ubuntu/ lucid/main

- bmfrosty - 2010-08-01

Ok. Loaded XBMC Dharma on my Ubuntu 10.4 desktop and it happens there too.

- malte - 2010-08-01

I had a closer look at your find output:

Code:
/usr/lib/xbmc/addons/script.module.pysqlite
/usr/lib/xbmc/addons/script.module.pysqlite/addon.xml
/usr/lib/xbmc/addons/script.module.pysqlite/lib

looks like there are only the directories and an addon.xml but no modules (.py and .so). So it seems like jmarshall wrote in his post that the distributor or the user have to take care about compiling the modules.

Do you compile yourself or do you use precompiled packages?

One suggestion for a workaround: you could try to take the pysqlite-files from my non-Dharma packages and copy them to the xbmc lib-folder (/usr/lib/xbmc/addons/script.module.pysqlite/lib).

I've copied these here. I'm going to try it in a few minutes, and add +x flags if it doesn't work at first try. It's interesting that these aren't included with the linux package, but I can see not wanting to support a plethora of platforms directly in the addons.

- bmfrosty - 2010-08-01

I've dropped the files in a variety of places with no luck. I've used both yours and the ones that installed with apt-get.

- malte - 2010-08-01

Damn. Still the same error I guess?

- malte - 2010-08-01

Oh, one last try. I have just checked my file structure on windows. I think it must be like this:

Code:
script.module.pysqlite\lib\pysqlite2\put your files here


- bmfrosty - 2010-08-01

That gets me further:

I took a look at the other thread. I'll take a look at it some more. I'm surprised the addon for pysqlite doesn't do something like figure out what system it's on and copy over libraries as needed - or at least create symbolic links. Interesting.

Ok. So it looks like Dharma wants includes.xml in skins/Default/720p - so I copied that over from another skin, and copied over the PAL files from rombrowser. It seems to be getting further.

Ooh. Config.xml has 9 errors. see XBMC.log for details.

Ok. It loads, but looks funny Like it's a 576p window in a 720p frame.

I'm guessing config.xml is something that I have to hand edit?

Ok. I downloaded testdata - now I need to figure out how to properly use it. Tongue
