HOW-TO write GUI settings for XBMC python plugins and scripts (addons)

I can't use the settings type "Files". If I use it like this:

Quote: <setting id="Files01" type="files" label="30012" default="" />

It won't show up in the settings menu...what am I doing wrong?

type="file"

Works, thanks alot!

Another issue: When I use fileenum, I cannot find .m3u playlist files. Txt files work well.

Hello !
three questions :

1 - Any new infos where we can get help on all available settings, how they works, what are the options and their possible values... ?


2 - It looks like bool setting can't get the option 'visible' ... Why ?

3 - I used the setting type 'action' but the default value, which is the command line (RunPlugin(....) ) is showing next to the label. Any way to hide it ?

(I'm using XBMC 9.11 r26017)

1. in guidialogaddonsettings.cpp (i think)
2. it should, maybe a bug
3. put the action in action="RunScript()" leave default blank. default=""

thanks
I'll try these later and keep in touch

Is it possible to add more pages to the settings window?

With a lot of settings the "general" view is quickly becoming cluttered, so it would be nice to add an "advanced" view.

http://trac.xbmc.org/attachment/ticket/9...tings4.zip

has an example script that has categories in settings.xml

Thank you

Good stuff..

My question is that I have some items that the string can be quite long so how do I make it so when you edit a item that is too long, that it scrolls or the text in the edit box moves to the left as I cursor to the right to see what I am editing in the user interface?


Thanks!
