Hi,
Hi i'm new to XBMC development and information seems a bit scattered so I figured it might be better to just ask here =)
I'm basically looking to make an add-on that will require doing quite a lot of processing at start-up and continuing to update on a regular basis in the background but I don't want it to be bogged down waiting on callbacks and where possible to be processing things as efficiently as possible so my 2 main questions are:
-Is using external DLL's possible to speed things up where needed?
-Does XBMC's python interpreter support threading so I can set off multiple tasks that are depending on responses
Also I can't seem to find information on what interpreter XBMC uses. Is it an entirely custom interpreter that uses XBMC functionality only? Or does it use the standard OS python interpreters, and if so what version?
