Where can this addon be downloaded? I cannot locate it in the xbmc.org repo using the instructions from http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=How...ptional.29

[jfcarroll]

I'm not sure why it's not showing up in the repository. If you install it by hand though, it should work.

cd to your addon directory (on Linux it's ~/.xbmc/addon).
run svn using:

Code:

svn co http://xbmc-pydev-predefcom.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/script.pypredefcom/ script.pypredefcom

Then run xbmc and the plugin should be under the "Programs" menu.

Sorry about the issue.

[jfcarroll]

There's a bug in it anyway. Give me a day to get that resolved and I'll post back here.

[jfcarroll]

I said "a day" but I didn't say which. :-p

Sorry. I've been busy. I should be able to get this taken care of this weekend.

Svn'ed addon manually as mentioned above. But problem still exist:

Code:

ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:\Program Files\XBMC\addons\script.pypredefcom\addon.py", line 56, in <module>
  Addon = xbmcaddon.Addon( id=os.path.basename( os.getcwd() ) )
Exception: Could not get AddonPtr given a script id of XBMC. If you are trying to use 'os.getcwd' to set the path, you cannot do that in a Version: 2.0 plugin.

Any prospects to fix it?

[jfcarroll]

Yup. Sorry. If you change that to

Code:

Addon = xbmcaddon.Addon( id='script.pypredefcom' )

... it will work. I'm moving the project to GitHub and rereleasing it. Sorry for the trouble.

[Mefody]

... it will work. I'm moving the project to GitHub and rereleasing it. Sorry for the trouble.

Sure, I did find this by myself... Thanks a lot, it works fine now!

Only as remark...
Addon works perfect if the full path to goal folder has ASCII English. For localized names it crashes:

Code:

Well known problem
try adding:

PHP Code:

.decode('utf-8')

It's not a problem for me - I use English path/names from times of old good MSDOS & Turbo C
But for this "PyDev PreCom addon" newbies it will be a good remark in FAQ - to use only ASCII names...

Thanks a lot for cooperation!

Anyone else got this problem? If needed I can post the whole debug log - just thought the above snipplet was enough.

I am so sorry - I quickly looked through the post and at first glace I thought it was related to the ASCII stuff. I will look closer next time, before I post

I've been able to get this partially working for Eden 11.0 on Mac OS X 10.6 (python 2.6.1 is installed)

I'm using Eclipse Juno, but only xbmcplugin and xbmcaddon predefined completions are functional.

Both xbmc and xbmcgui fail with an unresolved import.

Additionally, any attempt at debugging (module being debugged has no reference to xbmc) results in the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Applications/eclipse/plugins/org.python.pydev_2.7.1.2012100913/pysrc/pydevd.py", line 4, in <module>

http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/svn/ad...ipt.pydocs

combines jfcarolls pydev and my pydocs scripts. it should work.

[chrisdibartolo]

thank you for the prompt response and for the updated link to the new scripts.

i’m able to run these on frodo, however on eden an exception is thrown due to mkdirs only being available on frodo.

rather than updating the scripts i upgraded to frodo.

however, using Frodo, the same unresolved imports for xbmc and xbmcgui remained on os x.

i'm able to resolve this with the following src files: https://github.com/twinther/xbmcstubs by adding a directory containing these (checked out with git) via Project>Properties>PYTHONPATH>External Libraries>Add Source Folder

i’ve also tested this on ubuntu Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (Precise Pangolin), which was unable to resolve imports for xbmc, xbmcgui, xbmcplugin, xbmcaddon, and xbmcvfs until the xbmcstubs src directory was added as an external library
