addons folder Path substitution
#1
Hello,

I'm using XBMC 11.0 and I'm interested in substituting the path used by XBMC for a specific add-on. Is that possible?

I tried:

Code:
        <substitute>
            <from>C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\plugin.video.XXX\</from>
            <to>smb://10.10.0.1/XBMCfiles/addons/plugin.video.XXX</to>
        </substitute>

OR

Code:
        <substitute>
            <from>special://home/addons/plugin.video.XXX</from>            
            <to>smb://10.10.0.1/XBMCfiles/addons/plugin.video.XXX</to>
        </substitute>

but it still tried to load from "C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\plugin.video.XXX\"

Is this possible at all?

Thank you,
Sebastian

Hi,

What prevents addon path substitution functioning correctly? The addon.xml seems to be what informs XBMC if the add-on is enabled or not, though when you substititute the path for (say) a shared path the "Enabled" flag/status does nto seem to function correctly...why is that?

Thanks very much,

Cian

because it isn't supposed to work with addons so don't use it
