XBMCScripts.com is run by a few people who do it for free as a service to the community so considering that they do a freaking amazing job. That said, the script library has become somewhat overgrown and needs auditing and cleanup. Thats a BIG job, but if a few interested parties help out it should be very do-able.
My goal: to have each and every script which is on the site and accessible via the XBMCScripts installer script be the latest copy of the script that works correctly. This means weeding out scripts that for whatever reason no longer function properly or are outdated.
Scripts tested so far:
-xNHL 1.001: installs just fine, works fine, missing a script icon (I will make one today )
-Bowser: Runs and stops, no error messages at all, just seems to not work at all, no icon.
-PBS Frontline: the nice menu system still works, can retrieve show descriptions but the media links no longer work at all , no Icon.
-XBMCSkins: Totally non-functional, no way to exit script once you run it.
-www.TV.com: Causes lockups and returns garbage search results...
-xMovieGuide: does not work at all.
-XBMCLyrics: no icon, needs a bit more error protection (already posted about this today)
-ShadowServer: does not install properly via script, requires hand editing of a text config for it to work correctly, no icon. (Blittan has already been notified about this one)
All the tests were done on an SVN build from yesterday, with the latest Python libs installed.
