Hi,

I was wondering if its possible to use Ruby instead of Python for add-on development. I want to write a add-on for iPhoto, that maps a remote iPhoto Library to a structure of the including events and photos. Is it possible to use some kind of wrapper from ruby to python or even to develop native in Ruby for XBMC add-ons?

thx!

Something like this is in the works: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/901

Once xbmc uses swig, you can program add-ons in any of those langauges: http://www.swig.org/compare.html (Ruby included)

Oh god that sounds good Fice! Please resurrect this thread if / when it is merged to main

It wont be quite that straightforward but this certainly sets the groundwork for it.

Cool, can't wait for it. But I think it takes some time till it is merged into master. In the meantime, can anyone recommend a good tutorial where to get started in writing plugins for XBMC?

I'd like to write some sort of control system of Lifx smart bulbs using their newly released Ruby API. I stumbled across this thread and I apologise for the resurrection..but wondering if there has been any progress?

Hello, I don't understand this thread, it's possible to create a kodi addon with Ruby langage without use Python langage ?

[Koying]

There is absolutely no plan I know of to support ruby a scripting language (which would be quite strange, imo)

[Kyna]

I need to use python for create plugins ?
