yes, it's to avoid the need to restart.

use xbmc.executebuiltin()

Perfect, is there a way to check if the command is available or should i check on the revision number?
BTW what is XBMC revision number including this feature?

**spiff** · 2011-06-17 16:26

we don't have revisions any more, the revision is the hash from the url i gave..

just check the python version;

Code:

addon = xbmcaddon.Addon('xbmc.python')

if addon.getAddonVersion('version') == "2.0":

  print "it's around"

else:

  print "it's not around"

keeping compatibility with all sorts of nightlies is simply not worth the effort.

Just to let you know the parsing of the wiki page is probably broken because of the adding of Lucifurious Repo. Since no URL for the zip has been addon this makes the addon fail while parsing the wiki page.
We can either remove this line or I need to come with a fix, but it won't be today, I don't have currently time.

Any chance you could have a setting to turn-off the 'need to restart message'? Or detect Python version and automatically disable it.

Would you mind having a look why the latest unofficial repo here ( repository.MaxMustermann.xbmc-1.0.0.zip ) is extracted in a folder with the zip's name, which contains another folder with the addon.xml, thus not being detected by XBMC ?
Happens in both ATV2 (from my signature) and WinXP with 10.0-1 Dharma.

I've posted on the SportsDevil thread, after taking a look the only difference in his addon.xml to mine is the "zip" and "compressed" fields are set to true where as I have them set to false so I presume it's one of those causing the problem.

EDIT: never mind, seems to be working after all.

Why isn't this added to the official xbmc repo?

Does this still work on Eden Beta 3? I tried it and it installs, but it just sits on "Retrieving 0 Items" forever, no movement on progress bar either.

I searched the web but I couldn't find anything recent and my best guess was that it's not yet compatible with Eden Beta 3 so I decided to ask here.
