Thank you for this!! I will read it carefully.
grtz, Mark

props for making this! i always meant to do something like this, but always got sidetracked

tutorials are so important, i mean just look at how many plugins are still based on Voinage's tutorial.

thanks, this is the type of help i was looking for for something like this:

thanks anarchintosh! you're stuff is really cool i've managed to borrow a few ideas from your code

maybe i'll do another one for something a bit more complicated with sub-menus and xbmcplugin.setResolvedUrl() (for some reason it took me ages to understand how the setResolvedUrl works!) but it takes a long time to write something properly and I always seem to be too busy. i know what you mean about getting sidetracked

thanks,

t0mm0.

thanks again for the example...

i was able to tweak it to create my movie showtimes program:
