Help needed: plugin to display a text file - Pete_London - 2009-08-12
Hi all,
I want to have a plugin display a text file, quite possibly with the option to hit 'play' to progress to the next page.
I have absolutely no idea how to go about this. Can somebody point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Pedro the mac boy

You could start by having a look at the Notepad plugin I wrote (inspired from Notepad script) - http://code.google.com/p/dandar3-xbmc-addons/wiki/Notepad
I don't know about the "play" to progress to the next page you can probably use a different approach with a textbox control set to autoscroll...

I have a Script called FileViewer that allows you to browse local system, then it will view/play file depending on file type.
Get it from http://www.box.net/xbmcscripts

@BBB
The link redirects to http://www.box.net/xbmcscripts, but it's not there, do you have to log in first?

Thanks for pointing that out.
Unfortunately, my works proxy blocks Personal Storage sites now, so I can't check on it until this evening.
It is also in SVN: http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/scripts/FileViewer/

FileViewer now available http://www.box.net/xbmcscripts

Thanks BBB, they both work now.

FileViewer does not work on dharma.
