Thanks to all the devs for making this a great mediacenter.
Would there happen to be any documentation as for as using all the xbmc python plugins?
http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=HOW-TO_install_and_use_plugins_in_XBMC
Here this may hep. It only took me 2 minuts on google to find it.

i was talking more along the lines of code documentation for the python librarys
Hi nate12o6,
In this case I would advice you to look
- at the official documentation (unfortunately not completely up to date but still a very good start): http://xbmc.sourceforge.net/python-docs/
- at the great Voinage tutorial, he explains everything very well, provides libs and plenty of example, you just need to read: http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=41682&highlight=plugin+tutorial
- look on google coe for example
Unfortunately I don't know other ways.

That's a great start, but is there any documentation for these controls
http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=Controls
I'm downloading xbmc source to see if i can find it myself. I'm trying to implement a few things and I would prefer not to have to use base controls if I can find documentation for the rest of those controls.
Download my plugin tutorial then ignore it and look at the html help files for xbmc,xbmcgui

Those are the same files that are located at
http://xbmc.sourceforge.net/python-docs/
,but according to the other link I previously posted there are more built in controls then that are documented in those docs. Unless I am just mistaken which is possible.

you are linking to the documentation... not sure how much more you need (hint, if you click on an item under available controls it gives details) ?
those are specifically for skinners though, not all of them necessarily work in python.
you will have to look at the source to figure out exactly what will work.
