Correct! You are tail gating another thread on a different subject, just like you did with your original post! Problem is, people read the titles in the thread list, so will probably never find your question. Thread followers just ignore you (except me of course). Once you've exhausted forum search, I suggest you start your own thread with a new question.

I have a script that is called via the autoexec.py, my question is how do I get the settings from another addon?

uuid is the path to the script directory, so try to pass the path of the plugin/script you want.

Thanks 2 P 1 c!!!!

I finally figured it out after much Trial and error... working like a champ. I am still wrestling with 2 items though...

Trying to pull the info for the web server port into my addon settings (default is 8080) i know but some people usually change it so I need to pull that info from XBMC along with the list of availabe sound devices. Would you happen to know off hand what they are?

I know to get the local IP is xbmc.getIPAddress()..

why do you need it ?
