    Re: Xbmc plugins using 9.04

    HI I am haveing trouble adding or installing plugins to xbmc. I have downloaded an installer, but I can't figure how to use it.
    I can't find where to drag and drop the plugins. I have looked in /usr/shre/xbmc. I have opened each of the folders and can find no place to drag and drop the plugins.
    How do I get plugins installed. thanks tom-d

    Hidden!

    Re: Xbmc

    you can actually just copy them into the plugins/video folder.
    the xbmc folder is hidden, so select to show hidden files and folders in nautilus
    not all of these work, about 20% of them are having some sort of problem

    if you can get xbmc into library mode then you can use the builtin scraper to get list out movie info

    Re: Xbmc - The Real News Network XBMC plugin

    Hi, I'm having problems installing plugins for XBMC on my laptop which is running Ubuntu Karmic 9.10.

    I have installed XBMC through the Ubuntu Software Centre - it works great. However, I have written 2 plugins for XBMC that work on my Xbox/XBMC but I can't get them to show up on my Ubuntu/XBMC.

    I have tried copying the plugin's folders to home/.xbmc/plugins/video, as well as, /usr/share/xbmc/plugins/video - no joy though.

    All I had to do to install plugins on Xbox/XBMC was copy the plugin's folders to e:/apps/xbmc/plugins/video and they showed up in video>plugins along with iPlayer, You Tube etc

    One of the plugins I'm struggling with can be downloaded from here: http://www.box.net/xbmx-plug-ins

    Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

    Re: Xbmc

    Ok, I have got the plugins to show up in XBMC. However the plugins don't run when selected in XBMC?!

    I had to add the plugins folder as a source in:
    Code:
    /home/username/.xbmc/userdata/sources.xml
    i.e. in the video section of the xml I had to add these lines
    Code:
    <source>
         <name>Video Plugins</name>
         <path pathversion="1">/home/username/.xbmc/plugins/video/</path>
    </source>
    so the file originally looked like this

    Code:
    <sources>
        <programs>
            <default pathversion="1"></default>
        </programs>
        <video>
            <default pathversion="1"></default>
        </video>
        <music>
            <default pathversion="1"></default>
        </music>
        <pictures>
            <default pathversion="1"></default>
        </pictures>
        <files>
            <default pathversion="1"></default>
        </files>
    </sources>
    and now looks like this

    Code:
    <sources>
        <programs>
            <default pathversion="1"></default>
        </programs>
        <video>
            <default pathversion="1"></default>
    	<source>
                <name>Video Plugins</name>
                <path pathversion="1">/home/username/.xbmc/plugins/video/</path>
            </source>
        </video>
        <music>
            <default pathversion="1"></default>
        </music>
        <pictures>
            <default pathversion="1"></default>
        </pictures>
        <files>
            <default pathversion="1"></default>
        </files>
    </sources>
