I have created a small python script that works to execute a shell command.
The documentation says to put it in the scripts folder. Surprise, there is no scripts folder. So I looked into the addons folder and tried creating an addon.xml and had no luck getting xbmc to find that either.
So my questions are....on linux (ubuntu), where do I put a simple python script that executes a shell command? Confluence seems to have a script menu button next to the system power button but it is empty. How do I get a script to show up in that menu? Is creating the complex addon.xml necessary for a 3 line python script?
Sorry if this has probably been asked and answered a hundred times but I am having a hard time finding an answer and the documentation is outdated. I remember this used to be easy about 5 years ago. Thanks for any help you can provide.
