Plugin python directory services for XBMC (now in SVN)

**Gamester17** · 2007-09-12 13:00

maybe xbmcscripts.com would be the best host? ...and maybe also start a new SourceForge project for xbmcscripts to get a SVN and trackers? (like we have for the XBMC Skinning Project)

Anything I can look at to see why the back .. doesn't show for plugins?

A couple of Q's about plugins:

1) Does anyone know if the dev tool xbmc_pc.exe is planned to be updated to
support them ?

2) Are there any limitation on controls that can be called from the plugin. eg DialogProgress ? or is the rule of thumb to keep them a simple as possible without much user interaction in the process of gathering the directories ?

1) already works in xbmc_pc

2) no limitation. however keeping it as close to browsing a dir as possible is ofc preferable.

xbmc_pc - the reason I asked was, as I ran the one from latest t3ch build and the Add Source didnt show plugins. I guess that included xbmc_pc must be out of date?

thanks

spiff.

would you mind mailing me the latest xbmc_pc.exe you have that supports plugins ?

bigbellybilly at gmail dot com

thanks

EDIT: ignore that request, the problem was just me. I hadnt created a script named folder under the relevant plugin area.
eg
Q:\plugins\music\default.py
instead of
Q:\plugins\music\myscriptname\default.py

thanks anyway

Hi all,

I'm trying to get the Joox plugin working.

I have XBMC-SVN_2007-09-30_rev10387-T3CH installed

I unpacked Unbehagens Joox archive into Q:\plugins\video\

I've added it as a source.

Now, when I try to run it, I get an error 'CPlayList instance has no attribute 'logo''

Any idea what's wrong?
Thanks

spiff just added the auto set thumbnail for plugins and added video plugins to the library view Smile
