I've been struggling to try to get this to work in Windows. It seems like I'm almost there, but I am a complete Python newbie.

I've got the default.py including what I think are the right paths and the xbmc.log seems to show everything is loading except the very last line which I'm hoping someone can help me with.

This is what my default.py changes look like:

Did you succeed in porting this to windows?

Hi there,
Is anyone working on this now?
