Guys,
Ive been reading the wiki in order to try and learn basic python to create some addons.
Im finding a lot of the wiki is outdated, incomplete or slightly mis-leading. (Or complete non-sense in some cases)
Im finding it really difficult to get the basics down due to inconsistencies in write-ups or versions moving on from the related documentation.
I dont think im trying to do anything particularly difficult but i have a couple of things that means its brick wall time.
1.) Can anyone show a really basic fully working example of pages and basic menu system in XBMC?
The guide here, doesnt seem to give a full working example, and i cant put the pieces together.
If im being a moron please tell me so.
2.) BeautifulSoup is great, i seemed to be making progress but then hit a wall of how to filter the exact URLs i want - i will work this bit out, but i know i cant translate these found URLs into list items.
Ive been looking for working examples, but end up lost in code.
I guess my question is should i give up addons for now and go learn python from the ground up before attempting stuff like this, or should i use google harder?
Ive been working on this for a while now, so please dont think im asking you to write my plugins for me
