In Eden, the autoexec.py file won't be needed anymore, thanks to the new extension point 'xbmc.service'.
A service is an addon started with xbmc. You'll find more informations about these on the wiki, http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...g_services

This is cool. Will an addon developer be able to add a service programatically? Having an addon entry is nice and all, but will I be able to allow control of it being enabled/disabled through my addons settings?

of course, it's just like any other add-on. disable it and it won't start...

This says that the autoexec.py will be obsolete : does anybody know if this means it won't be used at all anymore? Probably many people are using it right now (myself at least), so it would be difficult to require every hack to be converted to addons. (Just my 0.02€

it is a good idea, and keeping the autoexec.py seems to me a good idea too. Too many times when a new XBMC version is released, backwrd compatilbility is not made. I think it is sad and it adds the feeling that addons are not reliable...
Anyway keep going the good job ! Maybe a kind of feature request... It has been a while we have autoexec.py to run scripts at XBMC startup, what about a special script (or extension point) to do some job at XBMC "off time" (when XBMC close). It can be helpfull to stop home made python servers properly, or send messages to listening clients, or even cleanup some temporary files that an addon may have write anywhere... |

Moreover, you can already listen for a json announcement telling you xbmc is closing. AndroIRC - Best IRC client for Android! |
