I am on Windows 7 and Windows XP using the most current nightly and everything works fine with the script.
Can anyone offer some advice on where to go. Seeing as how I dont have the problem, its tough for me to fix.

It's a problem when using a remote database that uses mysql instead of sql in the normal XBMC database (by adding <videodatabase> in the advanced settings xml file)
You can partly resolve the isue by removing
Code:
&unplayed=True&totals=TrueI have contacted spiff and he says it's a known issue and they don't have a fix yet:
Quote:hi,
i don't think we have documented it anywhere, we had some internal discussions but did not end up with a solution. i'll see if i can catch amet later and get a fix in.
There is some hope for a sollution
When spiff gets back to me i'll post something here.

I haven't knowingly changed the XBMC database, how would this happen?
I've just tried upgrading to 1.0.6 from 1.0.4 but get the following error, 1.0.5 worked fine though
The log says invalid animation when loading skin

Then your problem must be something different. I'd recommend looking at THE log file (xbmc.log) located in system/temp/.
Ps: Does recently added work in confluence?

Try installing a new version of XBMC because it looks like you still use the one before addons.

rename the folder containing the skin from "skin.shade" to "shade". "skin.shade" is that name you want if you are installing it through the add-ons install from zip method. if you rename the folder you can just move it to the skins folder and it will be recognized.
alternatively you could upgrade your version of xbmc as suggested earlier and move the "skin.shade" folder to add-ons and it will be recognized.

I don't think what the skin folder is called has any bearing on it.
Make sure that the skin.shade folder is not in a folder called skin.shade.
When it is zipped up, it is usually like skin.shade\skin.shade\all the other folders.
It should just be skin.shade\all the other folders
Hope that makes sense, or is related to what you are talking about?!

I'll try that, I upgraded to the Dharma nightly, do you just copy to the add-ons folder now instead of skins?
