Ok, I cannot seem to find a solution to my problem anywhere (which leads me to believe that its user error ). Anyhow, whenever I try to use just about any plugin (VideoMonkey for example), I get a popup that tells me I experienced "Error: Python Script Failure."

Here is what the log said when I tried to load VideoMonkey, and then Rectalogic's Fancast plugin:

Anyone have any ideas?

[JCDoe]

None of the uber smarties here can help me If anyone can, I know the plugin devs and such here can.

BTW, I'm using the latest T3CH SVN build on xbox, if that changes anything.

[blittan]

strange issues.. how did you install xbmc? overwrote the old install? seems something is screwed with it..

try a clean install, you can install it as an application so you won't loose any settings etc..

[JCDoe]

Yeah, I installed the new version over an older one. I'll FTP a brand new install and see how that works.

[JCDoe]

Ok, I uploaded a clean install of SVN version 2/18/2009 rev 17820. I copied the plugins over and experienced the same error. Below is the log file (abridged, it won't allow posts over 10k chars):

[JCDoe]

Can anyone help? I realize my problem may not be a big deal to most people, but it's huge to me

[Rookie]

Anyhow, whenever I try to use just about any plugin (VideoMonkey for example), I get a popup that tells me I experienced "Error: Python Script Failure."

Not sure if this is over my head,but you do have them in your plugins directory and not your scripts correct?

[JCDoe]

Yes, I do. Is this perhaps a problem with the latest SVN build??

[JCDoe]

Just for kicks, I'm going to do a clean install of the 12/30/08 rev 16762 version and see if that fixes this. I would load up the 8.10 "Stable" version, but IIRC, it does not support RTMP, so none of these plugins would work with it.

If I'm wrong, please let me know.

[Rookie]

Do Plugins still have to be added as a source in the newer builds?

This is on the xbox?Do you use E or C for your default?Is XBMC your main dashboard?Also how new are the plugins your using,is it possible they are old or got corrupted?

When you did a fresh install did you delete your user data or save it?

[JCDoe]

Do Plugins still have to be added as a source in the newer builds?

I don't think so. I just copy the plugin into the /xbmc/plugins/video/ directory and it shows up in XBMC when I navigate to Video Plugins.

This is on the xbox?Do you use E or C for your default?Is XBMC your main dashboard?Also how new are the plugins your using,is it possible they are old or got corrupted?

I use the E drive. XBMC is not my main dash. I'm using the latest plugins I can get my hands on (my test plugins are VideoMonkey and VPR).

When you did a fresh install did you delete your user data or save it?

I did a completely fresh install. The only things I copied over from the old install were the plugins themselves.

***

As I expected, the 8.10 install doesn't work either.

[Rookie]

I remember somebody having problems before and it ended up being because he didn't use XBMC as a default dash so he had to edit something.I do not remember if it was for plugins or scrips.

Also I would try a new install with nothing from the last install.

[matt_]

Works for me on the Xbox with a Softmod and XBMC as my default Dash .

Sometimes the Fancast plugin will time out or laod the shows a little slow but it works better than the HULU plugin does on the Xbox at the moment .

Might be time for us Xbox users to get a newer box... its starting to get dated .

[JCDoe]

Ehh, I didn't want to have to use XBMC as my default dash because I run it on a SDTV and all of the fonts are tiny.

I'll try using XBMC as my standard dash and post the results.

[JCDoe]

Ok, I set up XBMC as my default dash. Same error.
