Download any video from a script or plugin?

Folks, i'm missing something really basic i think, but cannot find the answer for the life of me!
If i see a video via one of the many scripts/plugins that are available can i download that and save for later?
I think i got real close with the context button and manually add to library option...but where do these files go? 'cos i couldn't find it afterwards.

What i'd really like to do is be able to choose a folder location and save things there.
Am i missing something blindingly obvious or is this not possible?

I've looked through manual and searched all over the place to no avail.
Any pointers?
thx

download is not a built-in function into XBMC but something that have to be added by the script/plugin author of each individual script/plugin. Oh, and this is the wrong forum for this so moving your post to the script/plugin support forum.

ok...maybe i phrased the question incorrectly.

in simple terms - "how do i save files to the xbox"?

I don't think it's a script issue, it's far more simple than that

Choose not to believe me if you like but that does not change the fact that it is a python scripting 'issue'.

You can download them I do it like this

Obviously you have already added the plugins as sources.

Highlight what you want to download
press white button
Select "Switch Media"
Then Select "file manager"

the rest should be obvious from there on


hope that helped

ok...can get to file manager part...then what?
thanks for help so far.

Perfect!! Thanks Lazydog, exactly what i was after.
cheers

no problem it stressed me out a bit trying to see where/how it was done too, and i found it eventually

glad to be of help

I've been the quiet one at the back of the forum room, just observing and learning for a few months now. I was half way through a script of my own until they changed to plugins/and or half the stream sources sites dissappeared.

so going back to drawing board!

I'll just slip to the back again now and wait for something else I can help with

If you have time, many people would be thankful if you could update the powerflv script.i would guide you so afterwards you could easily write your own content plugins. interested?
