i just submitted this to http://www.xbmcscripts.com

'display' on the remote hides/shows pad when level timer is running.
'display' on the remote toggles pad size. (before 1st level starts)
(except when in config mode)

'x' on the control pad hides/shows pad when level timer is running.
'x' on the control pad toggles pad size. (before 1st level starts)
(except when in config mode)

'0' on the remote toggles autohide on/off.
'y' on the control pad toggles autohide on/off.
(lock in the upper left corner means autohide is disabled)
(it's set for 30 seconds in ptpadfile.xml

'title' on the remote switches to config mode. (before 1st level starts)
'white' on the control pad switches to config mode. (before 1st level starts)
while in config mode left/right selects field to edit.
up/down changes value.
you can manually edit ptcfgfile.py for more customization.

to set the number of levels in your tournament, you would set the next
level's ante to -1. (i.e. for 10 levels set level 11's ante to -1)
(there are 20 levels in the tournament if no ante is set to -1)

up/down/left/right repositions the pad except when in config mode. position
is saved on exit.

if the pad is hidden pause is disabled, pressing any key will show pad.

if you want music or a video playing, start them before you launch the script.

tip: if you have music or video(s) playing. make sure they're longer than the
tournament or you have repeat folders checked in system/settings.

tip: if you create your own event alarms, make sure they're longer than the
corresponding alarmtime + your crossfade setting.

Hello. I'm using this with XBMC V2.0 and it doesn't seem to work. Yet Poker Timer 1 does.

Any ideas?

I was interested in getting this going too and spent the past couple hours researching the issue. I got it working and wanted to let you know how I did it. Apparently, some xml files are either missing or in a different location from when this script was released. First, you have to d/l the Python/XML library which can be found at Sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles..._id=286213

Then, extract the folders and files contained in the PyXML-0.8.4 folder to your /XBMC/system/python/Lib directory.

There is one final step, apparently the script is looking for the _xmlplus directory so you need to change the /lib/xml folder name to _xmlplus

I really did this blind and was kinda suprised when it worked. But it does in fact work, now I'll have to get a poker game together.

Good luck,
Pokertini

hmm, when and where did you get it. All libraries are included with the most recent version.

Maybe the version on xbmcscripts doesn't have them. Nope it doesn't.

The _xmlplus folder should be in a zip file named _xmlplus.zip if you have the most recent version.

I can resubmit to xbmcscripts, but for now i put it in svn. Use an svn client (tortoisesvn) and use the following for the address.

Thanks for your feedback, I don't pretend to know what I'm doing. I think I was a bit lucky to figure out a work-around based on the research I did on the Internet. You asked where I got Poker Timer II, from what I recall I d/l it from xbmcscripts.com I've tried running it both in the XBMC Bling and XBMC Pimped releases without luck until I completed the work-around I described above.

And thanks for a great little script!
