XBMC 3.3.3 scripts failing

Post by 00diabolic »

Hello,

I've updated to 3.3.3 oct 27 2013. I can no longer run scripts after the update. I have tried a fresh install and also updated my current install with just the new files. Either way I get errors with scripts..

Here is a section of my xbmc.log which shows the error:

15:04:36 M: 35512320 ERROR: Error Type: zipimport.ZipImportError
15:04:36 M: 35512320 ERROR: Error Contents: can't decompress data; zlib not available
15:04:38 M: 37363712 ERROR: XFILE::CDirectory::GetDirectory - Error getting plugin://programs/Addons4Xbox Installer/
15:04:38 M: 37363712 ERROR: CGUIMediaWindow::GetDirectory(plugin://programs/Addons4Xbox Installer/) failed

I have checked zlib to make sure its in the system/python directory and I also to see if it mattered if it was lower case or upper case. Nothing seems to work. Is there an issue with 3.3.3?

Please ignore. It turns out I downloaded a bad copy of 3.3.3

Thanks Dan Der that is really helpful. The copy of 3.3.3 was missing python files.

I think you are wrong 00diabolic, the problem is not caused by the build you're using. Its a problem with the XBMC4Xbox repository. (from what I see)
We are investigating the problem...

There was a problem with recent script.module.metahandler (which we didn't host) becoming incompatible with python 2.4 due to the way it imported elementtree. I have pulled it into our repository and fixed up this line, and that error is gone. Reinstalling addons that used that should fix it. Any other issues I will deal with one at a time - but I need complete debug logs please.
