How does plugins work since the addon-merge?

The docs may be out of date - check the code in SVN.

Thank you for the suggestions. See that you call getSetting with an integer. what does "sys.argv[1]" mean?

Code:

xbmcplugin.getSetting( int( sys.argv[ 1 ] ), "DlPath" ), "" )

if you really are "Skilled Python Coder" can't you take a look at the AMT plugin and see if you can get it to work? Would be awesome. It worked fine in builds before 28274.

I'm wondering the same thing. I grabbed the Astral Media plugin from svn, putting it in /usr/share/xbmc/addons/plugin.video.astral.media/
Even after restarting XBMC, it does not appear in the addons list nor in the video plugins list (which is empty). I am using XBMC build 30704.

I've managed to "hack" in a couple skins by creating the necessary addon.xml file and I'm trying to do the same for a couple video plugins. I've read that it's possible. What am I doing wrong?

I have the following issue:

I added an addon.xml to my existing script. It now appears in XBMC, but I now get the error:

Code:

17:20 T:5308 M:1288683520  NOTICE: Traceback (most recent call last):

17:20 T:5308 M:1288683520  NOTICE:   File "D:\XBMC\XBMC_PC\addons\net.rieter.xot\default.py", line 142, in ?

17:20 T:5308 M:1288683520  NOTICE:     MyWindow = progwindow.GUI(config.appSkin ,config.rootDir, config.skinFolder)

17:20 T:5308 M:1288683520  NOTICE: TypeError: XML File for Window is missing

17:20 T:5308 M:1288704000    INFO: Scriptresult: Success

Where the progwindow.GUI(config.appSkin ,config.rootDir, config.skinFolder) is the WindowXML class. The first parameter is the XML file for the skin. The second on the rootdir of the script and the last one the skin name.

Any clues? I tried some of the http://code.google.com/p/passion-xbmc/source script addons, but they give the same error?
