Help please.. I'm at my wit's end.

I installed xbmc (XBMC_for_Windows-Babylon-Beta1 - 47666 kb)

Then I installed Tortoise SVN.

Then I SVN Checked Out the trunk here -- http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

Now my xmbmc plugins directory in windows explorer has a ton of plugins there.. but when I open xbmc mce, I see nothing except the Apple Trailers that came with it.

Somebody pleeeese help me. How do I get to use all the plugins? I just want to watch youtube and flickr on my mce. Pleeeeeese help.

I also followed the instructions here -->http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=HOW-TO_install_and_use_plugins_in_XBMC ... ie., the instructions under "Adding plugins sources in XBMC GUI" to no avail. When I follow the instructions there and go to "Add Source" .. it adds it but just like a directory. I don't get any videos or content. nothing. Please tell me what i'm misisng. thanks.

you don't need Tortoise. Just click on favorites menu (blue icon next to shutdown) and start the svn repository installer.

They probably need to be in %appdata%/xbmc/plugins instead of c:\program files\xbmc\plugins
