I recently installed the latest XBMC version from the SVN. I use Ubuntu Jaunty, i386, and just checked out the linux branch before compiling and installing.

XBMC is running fine, however neither the Quicktime Movie Trailers script nor the SVN repo installer (for installing more scripts) are available.

How do you recommend I install scripts, for example the Quicktime Movie Trailers, and more? Can I just choose to check-out another branch, for scripts? I really can't find anything on this when searching the forum or the wiki Confused .

They are no different, all addons go under the proper dir in ~/.xbmc. Where is your pastebinned debug log?

Sorry, this was a general question and no debugging necessary. Plus, I'm a general n00b. I'm sorry if this was posted in the wrong category.

Let me rephrase the question then: Where can I download the scripts? Can I get them by checking out anothet SVN branch? The link provided here: http://xbmc.org/download/plugins-scripts/ only contains the Tetris script and nothing else.

If there's no common SVN for the scripts, there has to be a wiki or list with manual download links somewhere?

All the ones that want to be, are in the addons SVN repo. There's a thread (probably stickied) in the scripting/plugin forum with the URL as well as a plugin for installing from it (both tagged and devel versions) directly in XBMC.

Yes it would seem like this is the place to go: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=29911

with instructions for installing the SVN Repo Installer

Thanks for your help! =)
