I installed the latest stable version of XBMC4XBOX, then I installed the Xbox Addon Installer. From the Xbox Addon Installer I installed all the modules first an then I installed the Navi-X script and Youtube plugin. None of them seem to work at all, I just get "Error Script failed!". I don't understand what's wrong since this is a clean install so why would there be any issues?
Here's my log:

No plugins or scripts work
Re: No plugins or scripts work
Check out Jan's custom build for the latest working Youtube plugin plus many more. Follow his instructions on the first post

Re: No plugins or scripts work
Thanks, I tried to follow his instructions but I can't even find where I'm supposed to go to modify urlresolver. I'm not sure if not making those changes will make most of my plugins unusable but I did make the changes for IceFilms and I installed the Navi-X plugin from your link and every time I run any kind of plugin or script I still have the same issue I had with my previous installation of XBMC4XBOX.

Re: No plugins or scripts work
I don't know what you read about making changes to URL Resolver but it's nothing to do with that. Using Jan's build is a good idea as all the good addons come pre-installed including some you can't get xbox versions of anywhere else such as the brilliant [removed].
Your problem appears to be with your xbmcaddon script module. I'm guessing you've used a mac to ftp the build over, they can have problems recognising folders that start with a dot (means they are hidden). You need to make sure you have a ".modules" folder in your scripts folder. If you can't find a way around it just remove the dot, ftp the folder into your scripts folder and then rename and add the dot again once on the xbox.

Re: No plugins or scripts work
Sweet! That's what the problem was, no .modules folder. I am not using a Mac however, ironically I'm using the old C-Xbox Tool I used to use to FTP game isos. Oddly enough I was able to ftp that folder with the same tool when I transferred that folder only. In any case, thanks for the help! 
Re: No plugins or scripts work
Wow... That was short lived... 
Once I turn off the Xbox and turn it back on nothing works, again. If I copy over the .modules folder, then it works, until I turn it off. Why would I need to copy the modules over every time I turn off the system?

Re: No plugins or scripts work
That makes no sense to me at all 
Once copied over it should be there - always. Are you sure you don't have two different versions of xbmc on there? Maybe you had a version running that wasn't your default dash so now you've rebooted it's gone back to the dashboard but your .module files are in the other xbmc install? Just speculating here, that's the only thing I can think of right now.

Re: No plugins or scripts work
I am having this same issue. I'm new to doing the softmod on xbox and I have installed xbmc and I'm not able to get icefilms or any other video addon to work. I can browse the file structure of icefilms but when i go to launch a video, I get the error "script failed"dover19 wrote:Sweet! That's what the problem was, no .modules folder.

Can you please help! I am trying to do this project with my son and we are at a point to where we do not know what to do to fix this issue.

Re: No plugins or scripts work
Use Addons4Xbox Installer, XAI is no longer maintained as A4X has been updated and is now working great. XAI was only ever meant to be a temporary fix and now Buzz has altered the code in the old A4X that's the way to install your addons now.

Re: No plugins or scripts work
Just do a quick search for addons4xbox installer and all the info is there. Alternatively just have a look on SVN Repo Installer in the passion repo 
Re: No plugins or scripts work
will i need to remove the addons i have installed up to this point. Like i stated previously, I have been able to install addons... they just dont work.

Re: No plugins or scripts work
Ah it's good to know people do actually watch my videos
Yeah that's a little outdated but if you read the description it tells you exactly what you need to do. I did update the description a few days ago as the video is still relevant.
The example in the video is a bad example as it shows how to install IceFilms from the anarchintosh repo (that's the official mainbranch repo for icefilms), this used to be fine when I made the video but now it's not compatible with the xbox so you have to use a special build. Again if you read the description it should tell you to always look in the xbmc4xbox addons repo first, in there you'll find the xbox version of icefilms. Whether or not IceFilms works I couldn't tell you as I've not used it in a while - [removed] all the way for me

Re: No plugins or scripts work
Thank you so much for your help! I was beginning to think I was all alone on the venture. 
I think I am going to remove my xbmc via ftp and start all over. Will this cause any problems? Also, I am not familiar with [removed]... is it an equivalent or a better version of icefilms?

Re: No plugins or scripts work
Since the demise of MegaUpload about a year ago IceFilms has never really been the same, although it is getting better as time passes. [removed] is awesome, basically it's like Icefilms used to be when it was great only I find it better (I never have any buffering problems). It's not often I use the xbox as a media center these days so I don't know how the xbox version works, the few times I've used it it's been fine but I've not tried with a long video like a movie. For the few short tv shows I've watched via xbox it's worked brilliant though. When the sources come up I usually find sockshare or putlocker the best ones (on htpc, not sure on xbox).
If you put a new build on there then you can do it via plugin, you don't have to ftp. Just use Dans XBMC SVN Installer which you can find on the SVN Repo Installer in the xbmc-addons section. Go for 3.2 stable and NOT a nightly build unless you want to do some testing as they are development builds and things are broken!

Re: No plugins or scripts work
Just use the XBMC SVN Installer and it will download it for you directly onto your xbox hdd. I'd suggest doing a fresh upgrade when it asks, so don't copy over the userdata. Obviously you can copy it all over but by the sounds of things you could do with a fresh build. Once it's done it will ask you if you want to run the build, say yes and then it will load it up. Once loaded re-install XBMC SVN Installer and tell it to make running dash as default - your xbox should now boot directly into this build.
Oh forgot to mention, you need to go to the plugin settings and tell it where your XBMC install is located (the root folder so for example E:/Apps/)
