Hey guys, Iīm sorry if this sounds incredibly stupid, but here we go:

Iīm running XBMC on 8.04 and it works fine, except that I canīt get any scripts to run correctly. What I do to install them is simply to extract them into /usr/share/xbmc/scripts/"scriptname"/ and I can access them without problems in XBMC. However, they all run incorrectly somehow. The Youtube script displays the menus, but no data, Tetris doesnīt run at all etc.

Iīm fairly new to both XBMC and Linux, so I wonīt be offended by some idiotic suggestions :)

thanks, Gisli Sveri

Linux is case sensitive, XBOX isn't. Many of the scripts have case errors apparently and aren't yet ready for XBMC on Linux last I read.

Thanks, this makes total sense. But is there a source of linux ready scripts anywhere, or some way to find out wich ones work and wich donīt?

Trial and error comes to mind. Feel free to start a thread of what works and what doesn't, though it will likely only get thread jacked by idiots.
