Is xbmc.executebuiltin("XBMC.Extract()") - broken ? - Voinage - 2008-12-12 I`ve been trying for bloody hours to extract a rar via xbmc, can someone please either tell me the correct usage or tell me if it cannot be done on atlantis. Code: ok = xbmcgui.Dialog().select( 'Select Video Quality',['Extract test']) I`ve tried Lowercase extract, quotes around the path, single / after Q - just frog.rar, absolute extract path and nothing..... HELP ME PLEASE !:mad: - Nuka1195 - 2008-12-12 on the xbox? if so a large rar may not extract, memory issues. - Voinage - 2008-12-12 Edit- Have Fixed the issue. Xbmc will not unrar a file from the plugins/video folder had to shutil it first. Onwards to the Voinage all-in-one plugin. - Nuka1195 - 2008-12-12 don't know if it still works but iu believe the t3ch installer uses it. it should only be one / after the q:/ though. - spiff - 2008-12-12 issues; 1) you need to use those fugly backslashes. i suspect this was the real issue(?) 2) as nuka said only one slash after q - Voinage - 2008-12-15 Hehe removed the fuglies Spiff - cheers The issues are with my gradually improving , but slowly, coding.;-> - Temhil - 2008-12-20 Hi Voinage, I have similar problem the XBMC.Extract buildin doesn't work anymore for me (I don't get why), I porbably did a change in the script I am working on it that broke it, but O don't see what it could be. Could you gimme me more detail on what was your issue and more importantly how you solved it? Thanks a lot! - Voinage - 2008-12-20 Nasty piece of work the Extract. I fixed the problem then stopped using it and went for the inbuilt python Zipimport instead. But for the rar. [code] xbmc.executebuiltin("XBMC.Extract(Q:/plugins/video/VPR/Repo.rar,Q:/plugins/)") [\code] it needs direct paths , no virtuals and as spiff and nuka pointed out single slashes. Also it doesn`t like extracting from virtual directories, if you are having touble try extracting to X:/ then shutil.move it to where you want. - Temhil - 2008-12-21 Thanks very much for the information, I gonna have a look at that! [edit] Just checked the path it seems valid, but the extract of a rar still does not work, here is the path for example: D:\Program Files\XBMC\scripts\Test\Apple Movie Trailers_24-11-08.rar I also tried: D:/Program Files/XBMC/scripts/Test/Apple Movie Trailers_24-11-08.rar But it didn't work either. - Voinage - 2008-12-21 Your not developing on the xbox i see. Set a full debug log to run then try the extract. It show the error generally where normal debug doesn`t. It`s probably file permissions- i know i had hell with them. |
