Addons4Xbox development

[Kozz]

right, I'll check in the default.py too it must be something small I missed

[Kozz]

So problem solved by tracing back all the instances of addon id from script.navi-x to plugin.script.navi-x to match the folder But I'm wondering if its easier or cleaner to have created its folder as script.navi-x in the first place, Just thought I'd mention it in case there might be a solution you could come up with from within the xbmcaddon.py that can check both script.name and plugin.script.name, Not a big deal its easy to create the folder that the addon id is looking for

[BuZz]

scripts should be called script. not plugin. so its correct to have the folder name matching the id. plugins code is different from script code.

[Kozz]

Cheers to that

It didn't want to fetch the file list within about 5min of commiting changes, must be the norm for g-code svn, had me baffled for a while though

Might have spoken too soon, the script is installing just fine when placed into script.navi-x and addon id's are matching, but still tossing up errors for me, wondering if the installer doesn't handle script.name the same way as plugin.script.name. Hope the xbmcaddons.py has not been replaced since your updates I did not check the diffs yet.

The strange thing is I had navi-x installing and working perfectly yesterday, I think what was different is the main addons.xml for the installer used plugin.script.navi-x is the id, its addon.xml was just script.navi-x so what causes the breakage is using the xml_generator.



I know how much you like log snippets so here

[BuZz]

aah. thats a addon search path failure. I will sort it. It's looking for the addon, and is hardcoded for 3 part names like something.something.something.

[Kozz]

ahh right that's what I was trying to ask originally,

Cool, take your time I'm done for today, And I feel a storm brewing

@KozZ and BuzZ

This weekend i have only small Time (and i working on many on the same Time i think i must have a lttle bit more structur for all what i do or help !)


I found a good starting Point for Questions is here http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Add-on_development!

And we have the first problem when the developer from addons on Frodo change from .xml to po!

strings.xml will be deprecated after the release of Frodo. Frodo will still be back worths compatible with .xml

I hope we can than find a solution!

Regards Jan


Gruß

[BuZz]

convert from po to xml

Or maybe ill add .po support at some point

[skatulskijean]

convert from po to xml

Or maybe ill add .po support at some point

yes i think is a better solution !

Then when you switch on the Addon4xbox Installer to the Frodo repro (with release from frodo is the eden repro outdated)
whe have this problem not!

it looks like that it give not to many changes on the addon site on frodo!

The main problem with the addon is that the parameters are now passed by url_quote or url_unquote .

All dersphere addons as example have not this problem she use URL-Routing and not Parameter-Parsing

@KozZ on what for a Build test your the added Addons !

Regards jan

[Kozz]

sounds good to me guys

@Jan

I always use the latest Stable 3.2 , since this is the build we try to target for the public to use

[Kozz]

@Buzz

Just an idea here, I was wondering if there might be a way to install skins from this installer, could be a nice way to install them and devs to update them etc.

[skatulskijean]

@Buzz
please can you integrate on the addon4xbox Installer a solution to look its the scriptmodul or addon is here or not when not install!
Is a matter i nstall 1 Channel and this install the urlresolver next i install burningseries and is install the urlresolver again as example!


@KozZ
Yes test on moment only to on the stable and hope instantly that was not works on the last nightly (adapted scriptmodule -addons whats works on the stable and my lastbuild)
On the next stable works!

have addet

scriptmodule xbmcswift2, scriptmodule.xmltodict

and under music addons radio and shoutcast2

i think the shoutcast addon will have more love (error must be string or unicode but that is the problem what we many have on xbmc4xbox)

the next addon is redditmusic (xbmcswift2 addon then follow all other xbmcswift2 addons)

the redditmusic have the dependencies from scriptmodul.request and this is python 2.7.3 complete!
I change and change the syntax problems and look for sulutions for that what we not have on python 2.4 but python 2.7 have as default!
can not say its works or not the next days!
But i have found a threading dummy and a solution to add LifoQueue what we not have on python 2.4 as a class and so can we it added to the 2.4 Queue!

ok i think i work on the end on the next days on the scriptmodul.request !

Nice you have addet burnigseries i hat asked the developer to change to urlresolver and he make this!

what is your next KozZ

regards Jan

[Kozz]

@Jan

Nice work, I noticed the Shoutcast and Radio addons, I hope you can get them working I like shoutcast

I just finished adding vevo and set its default settings to not use RTMP or youtube and set to 480p as default and it works well

Don't know what I will try next yet, might try 1 or 2 more before monday

[Smiff]

good stuff! this could go a long way to making the xbox usable again, for "normal people"


had a quick go installing it from SVN repo installer, haven't read whole thread so ignore the following if it's covered!
couple of things.. it seems to pull in dependencies already installed? not sure
it seems quite slow and getting no wait indicator for the first step so it looks like it's doing nothing at first, then completes ok.


icefilms crashes after installing

keep going with this, on right track! just needs an autoupdate mechanism not sure how feasible on xbox.
i'm using b31600 btw.

[Kozz]

@Smiff

Thanks for the feedback, as you know it is still getting a lot of things worked out. That error with icefilms is simply because I forgot to add xbmcvfs to be installed as a dependency, give me a few minutes to update then try again and let us know

Update: icefilms fixed and working now

[skatulskijean]

Morning !

Next old fucking python 2.4 problem the configparser is outdated!
I lock later that i can find a workaround!

hmmmm NaviX isn't working for me today, since i installed something else

edit: sorry Buzz, known issue.

Icefilms now works fine thanks.
downloading seems awful slow, just me or server overloaded perhaps?

[BuZz]

look further up the thread. it needs a change in the addons module.

Please have a look on the naviX Plugin is faster and not so memory hungry we a script what will access the own Skin!

[Smiff]

thanks i'll try that, never used to work right.. can you get it in repo now please?
edit: doesnt' work for same reason as Icefilms, i think.

little tip: as well as deleting old Addons4Xbox plugin, you must also delete relevant folder in \Userdata\plugin_data\ otherwise the xbmc4xbox repo doesn't show up.


not sure if it's to do with running a test build 31600, but my xboxes chew away on the hard drives for hours (ok, a long time) now just to open directories in these plugins, am i doing something wrong?
