best it is post there that a plugin doesnt work on windows...
That's a developer's forum and user's shouldn't post there about issues they're having. You probably meant to link to http://forum.xbmc.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=27
There is already specific thread (stickied) about which plugins work on what platforms: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=39022
The best way to handle non-working plugins is to search for that plugin's release thread and post there.
If you can't find a release thread make a new one and call it something pretty generic, like "DimeADozenStreamingMovie Plugin Issues" so that other people can find it. Then inside your post explain that it works on xbox, but not windows, or whatever. Post a debug log, xbmc revision number/builddate, what platform your're on, etc. That information helps us python guys just as much as they help the regular developers. It probably isn't necessary as often, but sometimes it is, and it is nice to not have to ask for it. If it is an old and abandoned script or plugin, it'd be awesome if you zipped up your copy of it and gave us that as well.
