New to this, so I apologive if this seems too basic to post in this forum. I've been reading and I'm attempting to create a basic plugin with the following:

helloworld.py
settings.xml
addon.xml

Here's my structure in eclipse (4.4.1):



I've installed XBMC 13.2 and python 2.6.5 on my Windows 7 box and I'm running this plugin from:

Code:

C:\Users\joelones\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\plugin.video.helloworld

As a simple task, I'm trying to read values from the settings.xml such that I could eventually understand how remote debugging works but I cannot pull values from settings.xml. When I run XBMC and go to video->addons and launch the plugin, Isee the following in the log:
