New Official Online Repository for all open source plugins (with a public SVN) [Archive]

UPDATED: version 1.5.2, includes BigBellyBilly's update check module. (thanks BBB)
http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/plugins

Installer plugin
http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/svn/packages/plugins/programs/SVN_Repo_Installer.zip (http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/svn/packages/plugins/programs/SVN_Repo_Installer.zip)

the first listing you will see is all the available repos and a Check for Updates item. The check for updates will find all plugins and scripts, then check if there is a new version in svn. there are two settings off by default. 1. Updates: Show Addons not in SVN? and 2. Updates: Show Addons wihout a version?

version 1.3.1, for backwards compatability
http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/svn/packages/plugins/programs/SVN_Repo_Installer_1.3.1.zip

if your platform does not have a programs section, you can install this in /plugins/video as a hack or

put it in /plugins/programs (http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=HOW-TO_install_and_use_plugins_in_XBMC#Manually_instal ling_plugins) and add a link in your favourites.xml.

example favourites.xml
xbox

<favourites>
<favourite name="SVN Repo Installer" thumb="q:\plugins\programs\SVN Repo Installer\default.tbn">ActivateWindow(10001,plugin://programs/SVN Repo Installer/)</favourite>
</favourites>
other platforms

<favourites>
<favourite name="SVN Repo Installer" thumb="u:\plugins\programs\SVN Repo Installer\default.tbn">ActivateWindow(10001,plugin://programs/SVN Repo Installer/)</favourite>

Here is a temporary installer.
http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/svn/packages/plugins/programs/XBMC-Addons_Installer_Plugin.zip

It is a plugin.

1. unzip to "q:\\plugins\\programs\\"
2. goto programs/add source/browse/program plugins
3. highlight "XBMC-Addons Installer Plugin" and press the ok button

To Use:
Just select each category or item, when you select an item it will ask to install.

If no items are available it will not drill down. currently there are only two video plugins, one music plugin, one programs plugin.

Great! Haven't had the chance to use this yet, will try tonight. Hope we get the whole plugins package on that site soon! Best thing to happen with xbmc in awhile in my opinion.

Good call Nuka. Will be great when we've got them all added.

It's amazing watching the way every breakthrough in XBMC heralds a succession of others. We're really standing on the shoulders of giants.

a little tip, if you want to add the installer as a source in a multipath.

just add "plugin://programs/" as the source, this way it's listed as an item instead of the root directories of svn.

yes plugins are nice, thanks to umbehagen for the feature. he also has access to the site now, so i'm sure he'll be adding them shortly.

eg.

<source>
<name>Programs</name>
<path>E:\Apps\</path>
<path>plugin://programs/</path>
</source>

Hi

Please forgive my ignorance but can you explain what you mean by :

"a little tip, if you want to add the installer as a source in a multipath"

thanking you in advance for your expertise

Nuka1195

2008-03-14, 04:40

multipath = more than one path?

add <path>plugin://programs/</path> and the installer, if it's installed will be listed in your programs.

It looks like there's not much uptake for this idea. Which is a real shame as it's an excellent idea. Are developers aware the SVN plugin exists? Possibly it could be the hastle of actually learning how to upload/submit their work there?

I'd love to see all the plugins installable through this method....

Perhaps we should pro-actively message those who've coded the plugins requesting permission for the add?

hmm perhaps we should even say we're adding it in so long and if they don't wish that please get in touch with us at any time? (given most plugins are released as open source that *should* be fine if more than a little cheaky).

The potential of this plugin is great, and I would make use of it very often if there would be something to get.

I was wondering why this plugin doesn't just use the skin and scripts repository in the already available SVN? Would this be considered bad ethics or something? They're all open source right? And I assume a script or plugin developer likes to see his creation used.
I say go for it and just add it ???

It's all or mostly all open source. I suspect its simply courtesy that's getting in the way. I do think we should definately encourage developers to add their plugins to this SVN. It'll would be a great resource for the community (not to mention save us all FTPing every update accross - which while extremely easy is more hastle!).

Voinage

2008-05-06, 00:44

If anyone wants to add my plugins to the SVN, that`s fine.
I think a full collection of all the plugins is a good idea, for neatness and efficiency.

Thanks , Voinage.

Thanks , Voinage.

I'll try to get this done after my exams, well asuming no1 else does it in the interim.

Although once it's done it would probably be easier to use SVN for all new plugins straight away - that way we know people are downloading the latest version, and we won't need to upload 2 and 3 places.

This idea has a lot of potential.

Keep up the great work. It's highly appreciated.

My error hang on. Will sort and get back to you.

Clumsy

2008-05-28, 20:43

Cool stuff, that should make it easier when a plugin goes down to check if it has maybe been updated and if not post a bug report or bugfix in the forums in the apropriate thread. Thanks voinage for you work !

Voinage

2008-05-29, 02:42

No problem brother, hotzen when are we going to see some of your coding handywork ?

All added to SVN, Thanks Nuka,Blittan.

Can/should the Veoh Proxy be added to the SVN? I noticed there is a space for scripts underneath trunk if you go up one directory from the plug-ins. I've already got it on my box via ftp, but it would be much easier using the script installer program since it's already set up to install off the internet.

It's good to see the explosion of content on the SVN. Thanks for all the plug-ins you python geniuses.

a7n9

2008-06-18, 21:01

i have the latest xbmc build. When I use the XBMC add-on installer, it shows me the all the contents from the SVN, and it will install plug-ins too, however, when I add some of the plug-ins as a video source, it doesn't have all the files. For example, Yahoo Music Video Plugin, installs in Q:\, but when I add it as a source, it shows me YahooAPI/ , resources/, and thumbnails/ directory instead of running the default.py file. It doesn't do this for all the plug-ins, just some of them.

Am I doing something wrong?

Nuka1195

2008-06-19, 01:46

you didn't install it as a plugin source. read and watch the video in the stickie.

http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=30351

TheBoxMan

2008-06-19, 13:36

IMHO Veoh proxy should be added yes. I was setting up a totally new xbox last night and would have been able to do the whole thing without recourse to booting up a computer and using ftp if it Veoh proxy had been up, but I simply couldn't leave the xbox without veoh ;)

joebrady

2008-06-20, 23:53

Agreed, I think Veoh script should be added.
Question: Are all the plugins getting updated on a regular basis? i.e. all of Voinage's....
I know his were added, but I didn't know if new stuff he is putting out automatically is added or not.

My Appologize for the installer, i had scripts incorrect and they wouldn't install, here is an updated version.

http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/svn/packages/plugins/programs/XBMC-Addons_Installer_Plugin.zip

whatever is in the svn will install. so if any skinners would like ther skins included we will.

We need to establish a folder structure, so themes could be separate and do we want it used as an svn which is what i do. (Makes updating and adding new languages easier) or only download zipped packages.

The plugin in it's current state can't download skins because of a small error in xbmcplugin_list.py. I've corrected the error. The patched file can be downloaded from here....

It would be nice if there was a plug-in standard that required information on the plug-in purpose, revision history, usage, etc... going to the repository is fine but many of the plug-in don't give you any idea what they are for or what they do.

Nuka1195

2008-11-16, 03:58

Use this installer for plugins and scripts. there is a setting to choose which repo to use. currently only addons and scripting svn are included.

Now what?

First of all, this is awesome, and should somehow become part of core Xbmc. Secondly, it would be nice if it could handle checking for script updates. Third of all, should we report bugs we find with the individual plugins to http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-addons/issues/list ?

I can't say how you should be reporting bugs, but as someone who has a few plugins there, I never ever check that issues tracker.

Your best bet in my opinion would be to search for the plugin/script's release thread and post any problems/requests/thanks there.

[SVN Repo Installer]
- changed: version -> 1.2
- changed: added support for tags branch

link in first post

rwparris2

2008-12-03, 05:37

Tags? Cool... just a few questions though...

How exactly will this work in regards to the Repo Installer?

Will it automatically grab the "tagged" version if one exists?
Can multiple tags coexist? Will the Installer figure out which is newer?

And finally, is there a good reason for someone like me to use tags?
I do minor changes in my own SVN then commit them to xbmc-addons when I'm good and ready (and confidant they'll work as expected). What would be the benefit of using tags?

Nuka1195

2008-12-03, 06:03

a good reason for tags is if you add a new feature that requires an upto date xbmc build. older users are stuck.

this update does nothing automatically. it just has a new repo.xml for the tags branch

this is still just a temporary installer :)

Nuka1195

2008-12-03, 23:13

[SVN Repo Installer]

I'm having an issue with getting both addons and scripts installed. The installer program itself is installed correctly (as far as I know, it's gets through to the repo site). I select the appropriate item to install, and it seems to go through the motions (asking if i want to install, or skip). A window pops up, but it goes so quick i can't read what it says, followed by another indicating that "your new item was installed to: " but the path is blank, and of course nothing gets installed. Any suggestions?

paularms

2008-12-07, 21:33

Is there a dependency that I'm missing? Using Ubuntu 8.04, I installed this into ~/.xbmc/plugins/programs and it shows up fine. I get into it and hit Enter on the XBMC-Addons (or one of the other 4 options) and XBMC just crashes. I noticed that the settings.xml file was missing from the resources folder, so I grabbed that from an older revision of SVN, but it's still crashing.

Here's a pastebin of my log file: http://pastebin.com/f5e84a553

Similar problem here. Fresh install on Vista x64. I can get through to the repo but selecting one of the 4 options just goes nowhere fast. I'm using the installer plugin included with Jester's rev17423 build.

Can anyone help me out install and make this work on Vista?

I've downloaded the plugin and place it under:
"C:\Program Files\XBMC\plugins\Programs\SVN Repo Installer".

I can browser just fine with the SVN Repo Installer, what I can't is install any plugins/scripts. My best guess is that somewhow, SVN Repo Installer is trying to install everything to "C:\Program Files\XBMC\", which it can't, since it doesn't have access to that folder.

If this is the case, is there way to force all plugins/scripts/skins to be installed to "C:\Users\<Username>\Roaming\XBMC" folder where using SVN Repo Installer?

I've been searching a lot and can't find the solution for this...

mfreema43

Nazgulled

2009-02-06, 05:21

That's what I ended up doing but this is a workaround, not the solution.

I don't know if it's possible to do it some other way, but if it isn't, then I suggest that everything downloaded from "SVN Repo Installer" should be placed in the user folder and not the app folder. Of course, XBMC needs support for scripts/plugins/skins in the user folder too for all this to work.

BigBellyBilly

2009-02-18, 18:59

Nuka. nice plugin, have started to use it myself as I'm finally switch over from xbmc-scripting to xbmc-addons.

An additional feature suggestion:

New options 'Updated Scripts' and 'Updated Plugins'

Selecting either of these will compare the versions of these installed with those in the svn 'tag' area and list any updated script/plugin names. From that list it can be installed.

it's a special://home/ mapping issue, wiso is aware of it. not sure when he'll fix it, but there is a trac.

That's an issue with XBMC then right? When it's fixed, will SVN Repo Installer just install things to the user folder or you (or someone) must do the proper changes to SVN Repo Installer to also install things in the user folder?

Hey All,
I think I installed this properly, but when I try to run it, a box flashes up quickly that says "Loading Directory" and "Retrieved 0 items"... I seems like it's trying to go to the repository to get the plugin list, but somehow is failing. The Apple Trailers plugin does work... I'm guessing it's maybe a permissions issue?

I started poking through the code, but I think those messages are in the skin, so I've been unable to debug...

Thanks in advance for any help!

To update to 1.4, do I just install over again? Is an "uninstall" necessary?

If I had to guess, I think I may need the "SVN build" from here:

Does it need a specific SVN revision?

Again, both the SVN_Repo_Installer.zip and SVN_Repo_Installer_1.3.1.zip are corrupted...

I tried to look on the googlecode homepage for this project, but the only downloads from there are ITunes.zip and IPhoto.zip...

Can you send a link to a good zip file? Is this corruption caused by going through Windows (maybe?)

Yay! I got 1.3.1 installed, and it downloads and installs other plugins well. I put videomonkey and hulu up successfully. Now, they're not streaming videos, but that's a project for another day. Thanks Nuka!

hi - noobish question - i can't get the installer to install.
running atlantis 8.10. the installer didn't work at all (v1.1 - like nothing happened). i replaced it with svn repo installer 1.4 and now i can access it via program plugins and drill down thru the various lists. But i only see folder icons, not thumbnails (I thnk that may be a clue, givenm the log file). and then when i go to install anything it fails. I've put most of the log below and from other posts it seems likely its do to with the following:
11:58:08 M: 56287232 NOTICE: q:\UserData\sources.xml
11:58:08 M: 56287232 ERROR: Missing or invalid <name> and/or <path> in source

Can someone instruct me on fixing this or point me to a solution? i'm sure this is solved in the thread above but i just dont quite follow it

thanks.

EDIT: It just now occurred to me that I should perhaps be using the 1.3.1 version of the plugin. I tried it out, and it works perfectly. It appears to be the case that people running the latest released builds of XBMC need to use 1.3.1 and 1.4 is only for people building XBMC from source? If that is the case, perhaps Nuka1195 could update the original post to make that clear.

My original post for historical purposes:

I had some trouble getting this to work -- I tried the both .zip file in the first post, and checking out the SVN Repo Installer from SVN manually. It'll browse the repo, but fails to install anything.

The found the relevant error to be this one:

10:38:37 T:2960924672 M:1297305600 ERROR: OpenForWrite - Error opening special://home/plugins/pictures/flickr/default.py

I was able to hack it to work by editing installerAPI/xbmcplugin_downloader.py and around line 134 where I found the line:

drive = xbmc.translatePath( "/".join( [ "special://home", self.args.install ] ) )

I just copped out and hardcoded:

drive = "/Users/bryan/Library/Applicaiton Support/XBMC/"

Total hack I know. I'm properly ashamed of myself. But it makes it work.

I'm running the latest released 8.10 Atlantis, for OSX.

2009-03-01, 20:04

unless you've got a recent xbmc build that has the new special:// paths in, no script that uses them will work.

bryanc

2009-03-01, 20:30

unless you've got a recent xbmc build that has the new special:// paths in, no script that uses them will work.

Ok. I can infer after-the-fact that (apparently) the published 8.10 version of XBMC doesn't have those paths, even though I don't know (or care) what they are.

With all respect, end users shouldn't have to know or care about such internal workings of the application -- it would be more meaningful to those of us who don't follow development if the compatibility requirements where in higher level terms -- e.g. "If you are running the version 8.10 or below, install the 1.3.1 version of this plugin". This is, afterall, and sticky in the end-user forum ;)

Thank you for the info though.

2009-03-02, 08:53

Ok, thanks bryanc, v 1.3.1 has instantly solved it on Atlantis 8.10 (stable) on the xbox. as you state it appears v1.4 is not for that verison of XBMC without a hack or something.

for anyone else struggling with this the link to v1.3.1 is currently:

What's the difference between "tagged" and non-tagged addons/scripts?

What's the difference between "tagged" and non-tagged addons/scripts?

Hi, I'm new to the board and this (great) community.
The installer seems to work seamless, not sure the difference between tagged or non tagged though.
I tried to install an addon or script but it results in an error in the standard skin (PM3.HD). The other standard skin (media stream) seems to install without an error except nothing appears..
This is the error message:
There was an error installing item! (Sometimes the application hangs and reset automatically.)

I did browse to the .xbmc folder but it did not install any file.
Is there an option to look into a log file in order to solve this issue? Any help would be appreciated!

cheers, Martijn

Navi-X Media Browser now has a section for Scripts and Plugins... check it out.

BigBellyBilly

2009-03-05, 11:17

I'm pretty sure the idea behind having separate trunk and tags was that they're the equiv 'in dev' and 'released', respectively. Some scripts use the root folder (version number) name in the tags area to determine if new is available. This was the practise used on xbmc-scripting svn.
However, the majority of scripts/plugin don't seems to be following this so if you take a script/plugin from trunk and it doesn't work, it should be considered w.i.p beta code.

jfenton78

2009-03-07, 20:35

I'm having trouble getting the plugin to work. I've unzipped the file to my plugins/video directory. When I try to run the installer, it try to list the directories, but nothing happens. Can anyone point me in the right directions? I'm running ubuntu 8.1.

BigBellyBilly

2009-03-07, 21:33

its a Programs Plugin not videos.

jfenton78

2009-03-07, 22:17

Thanks for the suggestion BigBelly, but Nuka's original post said it would also work from video as a hack. I did try showing the Program button and putting a shortcut into the favorites as suggested. Whether I run from programs, video, or favorites I still get the same result. Did I miss something other than unzip and place in program or video under plugins?

Cr4z33

2009-03-08, 16:18

So what about the GameTrailersHD and Youtube plugins then?
Is it normal that even if installed succesfully with the v1.3.1 Installer on the latest XBMC for Windows these plugins don't want to run?
Are they obsolete or something? :sad:

Nuka1195

2009-03-08, 17:04

for those with problems with the installer. pastebin a debug log.

for those with problems with other plugins/scripts stay on topic. post a debug log in their respective threads.

duhaas

2009-03-08, 21:00

cant seem to figure out why when the plugin runs, and i go to download something it says:

would you like to download, i say install, goes to fetch files list, and than says there was an error installing item???

avnishb

2009-03-12, 21:28

Nuka1195,
I am new to xbmc and in my opinion many people including me are having problem in using svn installer script to install the plugins. I have tried almost all the permutation and combinations of this script installation with no success.
I downloaded the windows version of xbmc from http://xbmc.org (atlantis8.10)
Original SVN installer in the packages doesn't do any good therefore I replaced that directory with 1.4 version available here.
My favourites.xml has
<favourites>
<favourite name="SVN Repo Installer" thumb="U:\plugins\programs\SVN Repo Installer\default.tbn">ActivateWindow(10001,plugin://programs/SVN Repo Installer/)</favourite>
</favourites>

However, I see that this directory is actually mapped to Q within XBMC. Do I need to change this file to reflect Q ?

To add plugins, I go to videos and add source then browse then video plugins but I don't see anything there except for the already installed apple trailer plugin.

Am I doing something wrong here. Can you please test it out in your test pc and write a doc to help everybody out ? I would really appreciate that ..

Thanks

Nuka1195

2009-03-13, 01:26

doesn't the first post say for backwards compatability use 1.3.1.

that's clear enough for me.

avnishb

2009-03-13, 04:06

I did try 1.3.1 also with no luck ...

avnishb

2009-03-13, 04:23

It might be a stupid question but why do you say backward compatibility when I have installed the latest version of xbmc ?

Nuka1195

2009-03-13, 04:42

I downloaded the windows version of xbmc from http://xbmc.org (atlantis8.10)

not the latest svn.

again for the 1000 time, pastebin a debug log or upgrade your xbmc

avnishb

2009-03-13, 04:46

Atlast I figured the problem. First of all my favourite.xml file has U: drive instead of Q: therefore I changed it because my drive is mapped to Q:

<favourites>
<favourite name="SVN Repo Installer" thumb="Q:\plugins\programs\SVN Repo Installer\default.tbn">ActivateWindow(10001,plugin://programs/SVN Repo Installer/)</favourite>
</favourites>

Secondly, somewhere in the forum we are referred to a plugin install video that asks us to click on video then add source etc etc to add the plugins however nothing shows up there. In reality you need to click on the favourite button next to power at the bottom and then SVN repro and so on ... Also I am using 1.3.1 version of the installer. Hope it helps other users who are having problem using it.

Hi all,

I'm new to the XBMC scene, and let me say, this application has the most potential I've seen in a long time. So thanks for all the hard work!

Just thought I'd let any interested OS X and/or aTV users of this plugin, the favourites.xml path should be as shown below:

<favourites>
<favourite name="SVN Repo Installer" thumb="/Users/frontrow/Library/Application\ Support/XBMC/plugins/programs/SVN Repo Installer/default.tbn">ActivateWindow(10001,plugin://programs/SVN Repo Installer/)
</favourite>
</favourites>

Thanks again!

Just another quick question.... the Repo Installer seems to have an old version of YouTube (ver 1.8)?

Nuka1195

2009-04-04, 16:38

updated version with BigBellyBilly's update check module.

that youtube 1.8 is a script in scripting. there is a plugin in addons. contact the person who did the updated script to have it added in the svn.

you cut the log. is this on xbox?

you're trying to install the installer, try installing a different plugin. you're getting a permission error.

you may have a corrupt installer. grab the zip file from 1st post and overwrite.

i've seen that on the xbox.

Yes, sorry I cut it, is from the Xbox.

i just installed videomonkey. you're getting timeouts. must be your connection.

Feanor

2009-04-19, 18:36

Is there anyway that I can increase the timeout? I get it with any plugin that has to download more than a few files, and I can use internet with xbmc just fine, even view high definition youtube videos...

I get the same problem.
Here's the log, I ran the plugin, choose the update function, and tried to install one of the updated plugins (in this case the svn repo installer, but the same thing happens with every plugin and script)

I get the same error as well :(

Hey what are the chances of getting a self-update feature here? It seems to find its own updates, but then can never do it, presumably because I'm running the script. Any way around this?

What's the latest version now? I currently have 1.5.2, but the updater says 1.6.4 is available. I've tried downloading it from my xbox, but it doesn't work. Where do I find 1.6.4?

The SVN Repo Installers on that site are v151 and v152. It looks like the latest are here:

http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-addons/updates/list

Is there a way to show a list of of the plugins on that site? Some are tagged with 'plugin' and others are 'plugins'.

.... sorry, I take that back.

Try this:
http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-addons/source/browse/#svn/packages

... Apr-13-09 is version 1.5.1, so I'm still lost.

BigBellyBilly

2009-04-23, 20:51

The package is out of date compared to the 'trunk' and will be updated in due course.

The very latest is always available from svn trunk http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/plugins/programs/

You can export it using TortoiseSVN (using https://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/plugins/programs/SVN Repo Installer - yes, the https is intentional)

An improved self install may be coming yet.

I have been grabbing the nightly builds from TheQuestor over the last month or so.

Do you know if its a build issue, as i did see some builds back changes for the build rev to be shown in the GUI.

BigBellyBilly

2009-04-24, 15:03

the problem is that your custom builds don't have the XBMC SVN revision in (see top of your log) and the _update module didn't cope.

Starting XBMC, Platform: Xbox. Built on Apr 21 2009 (SVN:UNKNOWN, compiler 1310)

I've changed the code, but prefer to test it against your build before commiting it. If you can test it for me, PM/email me and I'll send you the mod.

Go to the Programs section on the front page, if you don't see Programs, then go to Settings and on the left-hand side (of PM3.HD at least), there's Skin Settings. Under Skin Settings, enable Programs so that you can see it.

Go back to the home screen and then choose Programs. Then select SVN Repo Installer and start installing various plugins (under xbmc-addons>plugins>video, music, picture, or programs), or scripts (under xbmc-addons>scripts).

If you have any troubles with the specific items installed, go to the threads for those items.

If it doesn't show under the Programs section, then you've installed it in the wrong place. It can be one of two places in windows depending on the items you chose when you installed it. 1. C:\Program Files\XBMC\plugins\Programs or 2. C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\XBMC\plugins\programs (Application Data is a hidden folder so you need to enable hidden folders to see it).

Hi Nuka1195 / BigBellyBilly,

Any plans to support "Check for updates" feature on user repositories as well? as in dynamically read the resources/repositories and include those as well.

I created my own repo.xml (http://dandar3-xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/files/SVN%20Repo%20Installer%20-%20dandar3-xbmc-addons%20repository%20v1.0.zip), put it in resources/repositories and it works fine to get addons, but it doesn't work to check for updates.

I have added temporarily my repository name to xbmcplugin_update.py below and then showed up my entries in the update list.

self.SVN_URL_LIST = [ "xbmc-addons", "xbmc-scripting", "dandar3-xbmc-addons" ]

Thanks,

i've got the latest svn of xbmc compiled on x86_64, and the svn repo installer from the first post on this thread. i unpack the zip file into .xbmc/plugins/programs

when i click on programs in xbmc nothing shows up. debug info doesn't show anything that can help me find where the problem begins. when i had the stable xbmc release i was getting crashes when loading the plugin, which is why i'm trying out svn xbmc.

does anyone have svn repo working on x86_64 latest or even stable?

iv recently upgraded to Babylon and have noticed i dont have the Repo installer pre installed like it used to be in some of the older releases.
i have no idea why its been removed.

More to my issue i have tried to download Repo installer and copied it into the programs folder. then i try and run the python script through file manager in xmbc and i get Error python script failed.
iv also tried the 1.3 version and cant seem to get it working which tends to be a bit irritating when ur looking to install plugins.

im sure the issue im having is to do with the version i have downloaded from the download section, can any one confirm this ?
if so are there links to previous versions which this seemed to have worked with no issues.

I apologize on beforehand if I posted this question in the wrong topic. I'm only a beginning Xbmc user and all of its possibilities are a bit overwhelming to me. Which is a good thing! :) Xbmc is a beautiful application! Really professional.

I've installed the SVN script and BigBellyBilly's 'Installer passion'. Boy: what a lot of scripts, possibilities and plugins! I love the lyrics plugin.

However, is there, or will there be, a Cover Search plugin/script? That is, when I am playing my favourite album or single, can Xbmc find a cover (picture) for it? I've used Freevo Mediacenter in the past and that app could find a cover for allmost everything via an Amazon plugin and an 'Amazon developper key' on the internet....

And an imdb (http://www.imdb.com/) plugin for my DVD's?

cover searching is handled by the music scraper, and it does fetch most covers, as well as artist info and pic if you tell it to.
AFAIK, the main music scrapers are allmusic.com, discogs, last.fr, and a few more i forget because i don't use them.
I also believe that DVDs can get their info fetched from imdb or a few other movie db sites, though i'm not sure about that one.
Whichever the cas, you can run a lookup from your music folder for all albums/artists infos

xbmcuser01

2009-06-08, 17:37

Thank you very much for your superfast reply. :)

As I said, I'm very, very new to Xbmc. I didn't know what a scraper was. But I activated them in my Settings screens. I didn't notice them before! Now, when I use the right mouse button I can choose to 'scan item to library' and a cover pops up in Xbmc. Lovely! Thank you for the tip. :)

Hi guys. I'm still having problems with self-updating on this one. It seems to get stuck when it comes to updating itself -- presume it's a R/W thing when one python module is 'locked' and in use? Any way to fix that?

Also I think I might be missing the point of the update checker now found in the scripts folder since it can't actually install the updates?

I always just go to plugins/programs using File Manager and rename it to something other than SVN Repo Installer i.e. SVN Repo Old.

I then go to programs and click the newly named program, navigate to plugins/programs and install the SVN Repo that way. This method can't be used to click Check for Updates to find the newer SVN version since the name has been changed. It's not the prettiest fix, but it works.

w3__

2009-06-16, 06:23

Well that isn't too elegant is it? :D I hope the xbmc plugin devs don't mind my prodding, I'm really keen to see this whole process become more streamlined and user-friendly.

w3__

2009-06-16, 18:56

I'd like to request a simple "Automatically update all" function to the installer. Since I have a lot of plugins installed it's often the case that I have to go through and manually click to install each updated plugin (after an update check).

marstedt

2009-06-16, 21:13

You can update the SVN Repo Installer using the XBMC-Addons Installer. And where can you get the XBMC-Addons Installer now .... ummmmmm ?

2009-06-16, 21:17

the script should be able to self install, I'll look into it and the possibility of an Update All

w3__

2009-06-16, 23:46

Awesome. It would be great if the XBMC devs would start including this plugin by default in the distributed builds. I think we'd end up with more testers and more high-quality plugins if more people knew about them. And then you could have a default "update all plugins" option in say, the favorites menu...

BigBellyBilly

2009-06-17, 01:32

now fixed to allow self update from the 'Check for Updates' list.

As with all updates, it should create a backup into <addon_category>/.backups

NB. The existing "self update" (from v1.7.5) does work only if installed from the 'Addons (trunk)' - browsing section, so use that to get this new version.
If you have debug on, you'll notice the xbmc log for the calling of the plugin will contain "self_update=True".

'Update All' will take longer.

For some reason 1.7.6 is locking up on me when I check for updates in WinXBMC. It gets to the last script/plugin in the list and then just stops. Is there a cache I can clear somewhere that might clear it up? I'll try to get a log tomorrow.

EDIT:
When I add this (http://code.google.com/p/queeup/wiki/HowToDownloadMyPlugins) to the repositories, I encounter the hang when doing an update check.

BigBellyBilly

2009-06-20, 01:48

No wasn't asked, I suspect that's cos its not a python Addon, but a built-in feature of XBMC.

Can you enlighten us blitten?

blittan

2009-06-20, 22:54

It's a python script, which will work as a complete manager for addons (scripts/plugins/skins etc)

Reason we haven't asked is because we think it's enough for us two to do, no need to add another developer.

w3__

2009-06-21, 17:44

Is script and plugin code pretty compatible?

blittan

2009-06-21, 20:43

it's python code in both, but for a plugin xbmc handles all gui related stuff, therefor you will be limited in ways of designing the user interface.

And I wish you hadn't just posted that.
If BBB feels he should be a part of it, he can speak up without you butting in for him.

That said, code will be shared from the SVN Repo Installer so improvements there will improve the final product.
Also there is no set date for release, so anyone who wants to continue improving what we currently have is greatly appreciated.

If you have any concerns about how the future Installer is being handled, please speak to us privately... publicly calling us out for not including certain people makes everyone (including you) look like asses.

Thanks for your concern w3 but tbh I've hardly enough time to maintain my own scripts these days as a new job and an increasing family are taking over.

"SVN Repo Installer" is actually Nuka'a Addon, I did the Check Updater and helped out on other bits when needed. I can't see it being developed further, but am happy to look into any bugs that might be found.

Maybe a new thread on the new installers progress/intended features might be a better place for future discussions on it ?

The XBMCZone installer has an info dialog before you download an addon. I thought it would be useful to add something like this to the SVN Repo Installer.

I love that. I always had wondered what has changed when I update the plugins. I guess that would erply on the plugin author supplying that info though.

BigBellyBilly

2009-06-22, 17:20

you can currently view Readme for each Addon (if exists in its /resources) and it also finds SVN Commit comments (for a changelog). but popping up an info window (apart from Update All) shouldnt be too much trouble, assuming it has the info.

2009-06-24, 16:36

I really love all the new additions to the SVN Repo Installer! You folks do amazing work :) I also love the quick blurb about each plugin when they are highlighted (a la passion) i have no idea what sort of content is available for a specific plugin when i'm browsing the Repo on my xbox, unless i stop and go to the computer to investigate... I was also hoping that a list of requirements for a specific plugin could also pop-up in this potential 'info/blurb box' could be added as well...or some sort of tag or identifier that tells me this plugin only works in US or UK, or is only for XBOX or Linux...this way i know not to waste any time on things that dont work on my beloved xbox. Thanks again :)

BigBellyBilly

2009-06-24, 16:52

theres already using context menu the ability to show readme and/or change log (if they exist) for each addon.

It also already has the ability to determine if a addon is compatible with your XBMC SVN revision. but again only if provided (in default.py)

To better utilize what can be shown, I'd encourage addon devs to include readme files, post descriptive changelog comments when committing to SVN (as thats where the changelog is parsed from) and include the following doc tags in default.py

Sample of Doc Tags taken from SVN Repo Installer:

__plugin__ = "SVN Repo Installer"
__author__ = "nuka1195/BigBellyBilly"
__url__ = "http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-addons/"
__svn_url__ = "http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/plugins/programs/SVN%20Repo%20Installer"
__credits__ = "Team XBMC"
__version__ = "1.7.8a"
__svn_revision__ = "$Revision: 1077 $" (NB. rev updated automatically when commited)
__XBMC_Revision__ = "19001" (NB. This is the min XBMC rev reqd to be compatible)

The more addon that comply will result in a more informative experience.

@angel4b
If you "right-click" the addon there's an entry to show a readme file?! Maybe displaying this readmefile in the confirmation window would be nice.

As a side note, try the XBMC Zone Installer as well it has a few plugins & scripts and when you install one it tells you details about it - you can get it from my signature or from a newer SVN Repo Installer.

@BigBellyBilly
Thanks for your comment on doc tags, I'll see that I use them all from now on.

Extract it into the plugin/programs folder.

There isn't that to. Should it be in the root folder of xbmc?

There isn't that to. Should it be in the root folder of xbmc?I'm not sure how the Linux build works, but in windows it either in the root XBMC folder or in your userdata folder. Find wherever Linux stores that.

I just looked at my brother's ubuntu setup, and it stores plugins and scripts under

/home/Username/.xbmc/plugins/programs

*you have to enable "show hidden folders" underneath the View option for it to show up.

That's where it is. Thank you. Now i'll try and install it but it should work now that i now where the file is.

Edit Ok so i put that whole svn repo installer folder into the plugin/program. Then do i go into xbmc and go to the program screen and hit i add source, when i do that i can't get anything.

I noticed the XBMC-XBOX-Skins repo has been added...nice! Thanks :) Now I can link directly to the latest version of the installer.

It's not possible to update the SVN Repo Installer with itself, is it?

Great, thanks!
And how can I add version control to skins, to allow automatic update checking?

Nuka1195

2009-06-27, 00:02

the plugin would need to access skin.xml.

any more effort in this is probably wasted, but if BBB wants to add it cool.

how can I add version control to skins, to allow automatic update checking?You have to be careful if a feature like that is added as some skins only work this the very latest XBMC SVN builds so should not be updated is the unless the the XBMC version they use is compatible, and other skins might have broken with the latest XBMC SVN builds and instead only work with a specific point release of XBMC.

Bram77

2009-06-27, 16:08

I understand. I'll add the functionality only to the skins that work with the latest SVN versions and that I have tested. Thanks for the tip!
I'm always running the latest builds, so I won't test with the previous stable builds. I'll clarify that on the googlecode page.

b.t.w... The same goes for some plugins...does it not?

BigBellyBilly

2009-06-27, 17:06

for addons is checks the __XBMC_Revision__ doc tag for min compatibility, could your skin.xml contain that or something simlair ?

something like this.

really BBB if you going to put the effort in. maybe plugins/scripts should have a default.xml with the required info. the only reason i suggest. is it may be faster especially when some default.py are large.

Hi Nuka1195 / BigBellyBilly,

The download link in the first post is not working anymore:
http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/svn/packages/plugins/programs/SVN_Repo_Installer.zip

can you please change that or make the zip available again (now there is .rar archive)
http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/svn/packages/plugins/programs/SVN%20Repo%20Installer.rar

BigBellyBilly

2009-07-05, 15:42

Thanks BBB!

BBB do you think you could make the installer possibly display updated plugins at the TOP of the list when I go in there to do an update check, instead of the bottom? I'm always curious to know what has been updated when I do an "update all", it would be nice to not have to scroll to the bottom of the list...

Thanks!!

BigBellyBilly

The list is sorted using Genre, which contains the label2, which contain COLOR cmds. The hex color determines the sort, rather than the name, but the side effect is to group them (which is what we wanted).

Change the Genre sort order (descending to Ascending) and xbmc should remember the view.

I'm not aware of a way to force the sort to be asc or desc, but it might be nice to be able to set it.

Hi,
SVN Repo Installer acts weird for me recently :/
When I try to install a plugin (any) that is already installed and don't have any update (i'm updating translation files this way) my xbox goes straight to dashboard (hard restart).
When I delete the plugin, then try to install from scratches it works all fine.

I'm using recent XBMC-T3CH revision (xbox).

Can't give you a log file right now (@work), but please let me know if it is required and I'll provide you with one when I get home.

Regards,

stacked

@pajretX, same problem here.

There is a problem with the Installer, it's not correctly stating that there is an update available. There are a few updated plugins on the repo but the Installer is still showing me that I have the latest versions. The "OK" is not changing to "update".

BigBellyBilly

2009-07-14, 11:03

where are the logs ? or some information as to which addons aren't showing as update available ?

I had an old version of SVN repo installer in my video plugins.
Im running ubuntu.

Then I noticed that I didnt get all the updates I was supposed to, and I now understand there is a newer version of this plugin. It will also be able to autoupdate it self from the plugin.

As I understand, the plugin shall now be in /plugin/program
and i wonder how do I enter /program from XBMC?

Cant figuer it out, not in Aeon or in PM3.. ?

Thanks..

EDIT:
Sorry, found this..

if your platform does not have a programs section, you can install this in /plugins/video as a hack or

put it in /plugins/programs and add a link in your favourites.xml.

example favourites.xml
