Ratings will be (eventually) supported by the backend - not something your addon has to worry about.

I saw somewhere inside a addon.xml a field <Licence>
Could I add this fileld to addon.xml ?
Will this field onyl be showed during installation of addon ?

Is there a xbmc python function witch gives me the full path to my data-container ?
Or should I use the $HOME as base for my own function ?

os.getcwd() returns the path where py the file is executed.

FYI, preliminary info for setting up a 3rd party repo can be found here. Feel free to ask if anything is unclear.
A guide for submitting addons to the official xbmc.org repo is coming up next.

Yes .. But I asked for a function that will return the complet path to the settings ...
this would be easyer than as example ...
os.getcwd + "/../../userdata/addon_data/script-video-ripper"
or this
os.getenv("HOME") + "/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/script-video-ripper"

I do store a few things inside the userdata directory for my addon.
IMHO the settings Manager could give the full path.

settings are supported, what do you want to store?
are you talking about xbmc userdata directrory ?
wouldn't it be simpliest to use a cache directory in your script?
- jmarshall - 2010-07-01
You can use getAddonInfo("profile") I think it is to grab the path to your addon_data folder.
Cheers,

this would be a rejection reason if you want shit in the official repo. never write to the add-on dir (it may very well be in a read-only path)

spiff Wrote:this would be a rejection reason if you want shit in the official repo. never write to the add-on dir (it may very well be in a read-only path)Inside my addon I do only write to the data-dir. I do not write anything into addon directory.
A little example :
I have a shell-script witch do transcode ... and should give feedback to a gui-function. You can find the shell-script here
Code:
http://code.google.com/p/swiss-army-knife/source/browse/trunk/shell-linux/blueray-transcode.shCode:
http://code.google.com/p/swiss-army-knife/wiki/APII only use small files ... So I guess I can use without any fear the data-dir of the addon ?
- spiff - 2010-07-02
no. again, store data in special://profile/addon_data/<id>. you CANNOT assume that the main add-on dir is writable. e.g. somebody bundles your add-on with an installer - it goes to /usr/share/ on linux - nonwritable by mere mortals.
