Sad  having problems installing video plugins Post: #1
ok i've been trying to figure this out without having to bother someone on the forum ,but i've given up.

So i've read through the tutorials and watched the video ,but when i go to add source then browse then video plugins i only see the apple trailers plugin.

i've added the plugins into c:\program files\xbmc\plugins\video

did i add them into wrong folder? is there some misstep i took?

sorry for the noob question. any help would be appreciated

You added them to the wrong folder.

Plugins are your data - they thus go in XBMC's application support folder (C:\Documents and Settings\<xplogin>\Application Support\XBMC).

The SVN repo installer installs there for you.

Windows? It it is the case try to install you plugin in:
C:\Documents and Settings\USER_NAME\Application Data\XBMC\plugins\video instead
