home screen addon shortcuts failing

Post by chunk1982 »

most of the home screen addon shortcuts are failing, the main one i use is streamallthis.
if i turn the xbox on and click the addpn shortcut for streamallthis it will fail
see here for debug... http://pastebin.com/FtKyY0pj from about line 211
The mad thing is if your turn the xbox on then load streamallthis, but this time using the submenu video addon option it will load of course but then go back to your home menu and now use the addon shortcut it will work?!?!?

all the best

I have seen this bug as well. Same recreate as the OP

Add shortcut
reboot xbox (to ensure it is first time running the add on)
Attempt to load add on
Script failure
Browse to add ons section
Run add on from this location
Success.

this error is not 3.3 only and was error on the stables before to!
i hate asked xbs for this error for a while but it was no go!
i think it is a skin problem !
when you add this addons to the favorites its works but not OVER THE HOMEMENUE FROM CONFLUENCE LIGHT!

You realize this is basically the same bug ive been inboxing you about for a while now. I wound up deleting the plugin data for each and rebooting my xbox and things worked but only temporarily.

Could one you please do the following:

* edit Q:\scripts\.modules\script.module.xbmcaddon\lib
* change line 43 to (don't break indentation, simply change the indexes in parts [ ] array from 0 / 1 to 1 / 2:

Code: Select all

            locations.append("plugin://%s/%s" % ( parts[ 1 ], parts[ 2 ] ))
I'll create a ticket on your behalf.

it wont be fixed before I get the new addons code in trunk which will fix it anyway. Unless someone gets a patch in before I push out 3.3.1 (this week) (is that code you posted tested working ?)

I can confirm that this worked for me also. I did 3 or 4 restarts to test and i am enjoying xbmc4xbox more than ever before. Thanks Dan

Now in 3.3.1 thanks to Buzz.

No, yeah, that was a very useful comment - I have restarted XBMC4Xbox in between tests, although it's possible that exiting the plugins section (back-back-back to main) would've also done it.

Yeah, I know you guys mentioned similar before, even I've seen similar when developing the remote app through HTTP API, I just thought some things weren't meant to work a certain way - anyway, I knew Buzz was going to release 3.3.1 soon and that pushed me to look at it - and there you have it, update away! :-)
