scripts

dflat · 2008-09-12, 07:34

Hello all, I'm trying to get scripts working in mediastream, but it seems quite different than the pmIII. I've correctly installed the apple movie trailer II script to my xbmc, and can successfully run in pmIII using the scripts menu off the home page. I've been trying at this for awhile now and can't figure out where this location is, either individually, or within the new "Use Your Programs" section. Any help? When I install the program it goes to Q:\plugins\video\, but when I navigate there in the programs "add source" dialog, and add, it only shows up like an explorer, no executables just the folder structure. Kind of a headache to go back and forth between skins for programs, so any help is appreciated.

Also worth noting that there is a difference between scripts and plugins.

Scrips, which are accessed via the mentioned menu, go into the scrips folder.
Plug-ins, which are accessed via the add source menu, go in the plugins folder.

Also, with regard to plugins.

You say you use add source and navigate to Q:\plugins\video\
You want to do add source/browse/video plugins, then it should list what is in said directory.
