Xbmc4xbox home page shortcut problems

Post by sixties keith »

I decided to add some home menu shortcuts in the skin settings shortcuts (home page video submenu) i made sure they were named correctly and they appeared in the home screen under the videos tab, however when selecting any of these shortcuts i simply get a script failed.

Ive went manually into the plugins folder and checked to ensure the video plugins are working which they are so was wondering if this is an issue with just me or is it happening to everyone?

Im on the newest build (3.5.3) and if required an provide a debug log. thanks

A debug log would help to find where the problem is, whether is with calling the script or the code in it.

Thanks Keith. Let me have a look, if they work on their own from the video plugin screen, then there is a problem with addon-to-plugin resolution (plugin://video/BBC iPlayer => plugin.video.bbciplayer => plugin://video/bbciplayer). I remember this being an issue before, not sure whether we did something about it or not.

You could try to renaming the plugin to BBCiPlayer to remove the space from its name and adding that the home screen, I think that would work, but not sure yet of the implications to say update process when a new version is released.

I renamed the plugins to ensure there were no more spaces in the names. Checked all the affected plugins and all is well now. maybe worth noting this for the next xbmc4xbox release perhaps?

ive only got one more problem with xbmc4xbox now (at least that ive noticed) to do with .wma music playback not working as it should (ie. not correctly fast forwarding or rewinding) but i'll try get a post up about it soon.

as always many thanks for the help
