Loads of script requests and some help please!!!

[slowpoke115]

I decided to stick all my requests into one post so i don't look like an obsessive weirdo requesting three scripts at once, teehee! I'm crap at python and really appreciate all the people who write these wonderful scripts, some fantastic (and amazingly free) work going on!

1. PDF viewer? Not strictly media but it would be kinda cool to read some e-books on my xbox. It could just be easier to convert each page to jpeg ( know there are programs that are able to do this)

2. Bit of a porn fan and also because I've not seen too much image based website content but I'd love to see a script which would preview and have a similar layout to that of www.tangotime.com would be excellent and I'd imagine fairly easy to doo!

3. The final thing was more of a question, I've got remote shares on a system which is kept in an onconsistant state (sometimes its off and other times its on) I've found using wake up on lan (an xbox script that wakes up remote pc's) very useful for accessing shares when the systems off. Is there a way to implement some of the WOL code upon startup without asking me any questions, so upon boot of xbmc after a short delay my remote machine is on and ready to stream me media!! I have no idea where to put the code or which sections to use so if this is possible, any help would be brilliant.

Thanks guys, dont expect much of a response but keep up the good work anyhow!:laugh:

for 3, use AutoStart Manager. it's a script, and you can install it via the installer script. it allows for multiple events at XBMC runtime. i love it.
1. is there an opensource PDF viewer out there?

Will try that, however the scriopt I wonna execute has loads of options I just wonna launch a tiny part of it without the screen loading. I'll take a look though. As for open source PDF, it's available for unix/linux so I assume there must be an open source version of it, quick google gave me XPDF http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/about.html which is apparently an open source PDF viewer, it would be a great script addition if anyones tempted.

auto start manager is really good, very impressed with it. I edited the wol script I had so nothing pops up upon launch and it works perfectly, although sometimes uplon loading my menu will freeze, I think this is just because I'm navigating while the script is running or something, thanks very much for your help!

Any luck with the pdf/tangotime thing? I had a look at that open source pdf viewer and it looks like C++ which I imagine will make a python script kinda difficult :(. I wish I knew more about python or had a starting point for either of these. Can anyone advise a guide or a good starting point, I imagine something like picture retrival should be pretty easy :)

Thanks
