# hi, i am trying to write a script that would auto execute upon xbmc's opening. this script will ask for a password, if the password doesn't equal that something, then xbmc will exit the program.

-----------------------------------------------------------
# imports
import xbmc,xbmcgui
from time import *

#initial stuff
dialog = xbmcgui.dialog()
pdialog = xbmcgui.dialogprogress()
sleeptime = 0
shutdowntime = 0
doit = 0
pwl = "

# defs #

def getuserinput():
pdialog.create('password','press cancel to enter password.')
pdialog.update(100/10)
if pdialog.iscanceled():
pdialog.close()
keyboard = xbmc.keyboard('')
keyboard.domodal()

if (keyboard.isconfirmed()):
return keyboard.gettext()
else:
return 0
pwl = getuserinput()
if pwl != "eminaz"
doit = 1


#waits.... and finally shut down the box
def doshutdown():
global doit
if doit == 1:
xbmc.player().stop()
pdialog.close()
xbmc.shutdown()

#main
def main():
showtimesdialog()
doshutdown()

main()

-------------------------------------------------
i didn't write all of that, to be honest. i borrowed some of the code from vultain and alx.

i don't know much about pything, but it is kind of like flash actionscripts, which i am experienced with.

any help would be appreciated.

where is the code for showtimesdialog()? the main function calls it but we don't get to see what it does.

also, the forum must've messed up some of the indentation so it is hard to know what the logic is exactly...

use the code tags
