Since I am struggling with the error in the other post, I decided to have a look around to find means of debugging the scripts via Eclipse.

So I stumbled on this wiki entry:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...th_Eclipse

When it connects to the debugger, control is passed to Eclipse. I can see variables and stuff, so it seems to be working.
When I hit "resume", it crashes XBMC.

Looking at the debug log, this is the first problem that arises:

Code:

16:22:12 T:3648 M:3714027520  NOTICE: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16:22:12 T:3648 M:3714027520  NOTICE: pydev debugger: CRITICAL WARNING: This version of python seems to be incorrectly compiled (internal generated filenames are not absolute)

16:22:26 T:3648 M:3709255680  NOTICE: pydev debugger: Unable to find real location for: <string>

So apparently (and obviously I guess) it doesn't have any means to make sense of this bogus "special" protocol. I suppose that's why none of the breakpoints work.

At the end of the script XBMC decides to go bye-bye.

Code:

16:22:26 T:3648 M:3709140992    INFO:   msg: Fatal Python error: Py_EndInterpreter: not the last thread
16:22:26 T:5188 M:3709140992   DEBUG: Thread 5188 terminating

I thought I could just call some function to end the thread, or join() it. However, I am not sure how to get to that thread. Any ideas?

Been seeing similar issues but haven't really had much of a chance to look into it yet. Might nag some devs to look into it, since debugging plugins with eclipse is quite comfortable.

Hi, alshain:
Unfortunately, I faced exactly the same problem.I notice two problems:
1.According to the wiki entry:http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title...s...ipse,there should be a folder named "Lib" under the xbmc/system/python/,and generally the folder /xbmc/system/python/Lib contains some py files,but however,there is a python14.zlib file instead . if we add "pysrc" folder to such file, it seems not work,because there is a file '/xbmc/system/python/DLLs/zlib.pyd' to correspond it.maybe it needs recompile.
2.I noticed the error message that notice missing files.It seems because the different file syntax mixed.Linux style '/' and windows style '\' appear at the same time.

I spend a lot time but can't solve it.
Will you help me out?
