xbmcaddon library is missing [SOLVED]

I'm new to this forum. First of all: great what you guys are doing to keep the XBOX alive and useful with XBMC4XBOX! I'm planning the reinstate my XBOX1.1 to full glory as a mediacentre and more.

I FTP'd 'Jan'sXBMC4XBOX before3.3' to my XBOX. It seems to be running fine, but Video/Plugins won't load, except for NOS and Tagesschau. For the rest, I get a script error.

I followed the instructions here: http://www.xbmc4xbox.org.uk/forum/viewt ... ?f=7&t=897 but get the error 'xbmc4xbox library is missing' from the Addons4xbox installer. Here's the error log: http://pastebin.ca/2337318

I've been reading all through this forum, but maybe I still missed something?

See if you're not missing this - Q:\scripts\.modules
https://svn.exotica.org.uk:8443/xbmc4xb ... /.modules/

Some FTP clients (especially on Unix) consider dot starting files as hidden and you won't get that transferred. Or maybe it's missing in the archive, check it in both places.

Dan Dar3,

Indeed, there's no scripts\.modules in the archive. I now have to find a way to FTP it. I work from a Mac and the FTP program (Transmit) indeed ignores .files. Thanks for the remark about that!

Should it be like this in the archive?

scripts\.modules\addonxml
scripts\.modules\lib\xbmcaddon.py

Try this then:

Might want to raise the issue to the author to make sure those files are in there - or maybe again your archiver app doesn't show them...

You can find that folder in the source archive provided here (up see the Download tab):
http://www.xbmc4xbox.org.uk/download/

or in B4K3D PI builds:
http://www.xbmc4xbox.org.uk/forum/viewt ... 7067#p7067

Also, just going to throw in a reference to XBMC SVN Installer (I should rename that, just realized now the name can lead people think it's about the mainline XBMC, no one complained :-)

Now I feel stupid too, just like the guy in the website article about Transmit :oops: The problems I encountered were not due to XBMC4XBOX but to the Transmit program! All script/.modules are present in the archive and I FTP'd them to my XBOX. I changed the heading of this post to SOLVED.

Dan Dar3, thanks!
