Ok, the title is kind of confusing I'll grant you, but here's what's happening. I'm using a state machine type set up (I've been looking at the iplayer add on) and when adding a list item as a folder I can quite happily use

Code:

__plugin_handle__ = int(sys.argv[1])
host = xbmcplugin.getSetting(__plugin_handle__, 'host')

and it will return the correct host setting. Add a list item with folder = False and I get 'GetSetting called with an invalid handle.' in the logs. So basically, click on a folder and the plugin handle is found correctly, click on a non folder and it's not.

This is my first add on so be gentle!

Not sure this will help, but this is usually how I go about it, from my archive add-on.

Code:

__settings__ = xbmcaddon.Addon(id='plugin.audio.internet.archive')
sort = __settings__.getSetting('sort_by')

Cheers, that did it!

Cheers, that did it!

You can even more shorten it to:

Code:

__settings__ = xbmcaddon.Addon()

It will get it's id automaticly
