Clear screen - help with plugin code

[rookie]

This is my first addons code to watch CNN:

Code: Select all

import xbmc, xbmcgui
streamurl = 'rtmp://c.cdn.livenewschat.eu/edge playpath=cnn_live swfUrl=http://msnbclive.eu/player.swf swfVfy=1 live=1 pageUrl=http://weplaylive.tv timeout=15'
li = xbmcgui.ListItem('CNN')
li.setInfo('video', {'Title': 'CNN', 'Genre': 'News Channel'})
xbmc.Player(xbmc.PLAYER_CORE_DVDPLAYER).play(streamurl,li, True)

The problem with the above code is the previous screen is not clear. Does anyone know how to fix it?
Second, can anyone tell me how to open a favorites.plx in Navix and use it to select what I want to watch
instead of hard coding it in the above example.

Thank you

I have fixed the problem. Thank Jan for all his code examples

That's great, although in the interest of other fellow members would be nice to post the details of the solution or at least a link to other post that helped, as well as updating this post / thread by adding "[SOLVED]" to the title.

I did post the code in TV-SHOW-LIVE thread http://www.xbmc4xbox.org.uk/forum/viewt ... =17&t=2448

I'll happily volunteer to edit posts for people to include code tags.
Maybe a smarmy note at the end noting the edit. :D
Can easily add a javascript to expand/collapse the text, as well.
