The plugin solutions available for XBMC is the python scripts, I'm not very familiar with them so I can't speak on what they can or cannot do but If you search on google, here or anywere I'm sure you can find if it's possible or not.
Also I can't speak on how well it works on win but I think it runs Smile

XBMC have a dllloader but it relies on hardcoded parts anyway. Not designed to be alike plugins in Miranda for example.

Python works fine, so I see no reason why plugins wouldn't work.

Note that even though "Scripts" and "Plugins" in XBMC are both using python they are still not the same, a "script" can be a complete custom GUI while a "plugin" simply acts as a media source using XBMC existing file-handling structure.

If you're asking... yes Laugh
Post a pastebin log in the windows user forum. In general scripts should work. Tetris runs fine for me whereas apple movie trailer script starts but doesn't show anything yet.
As usual I suggest to remove everything XBMC related and make a clean install.

It's from one of the recent t3ch builds but it could be that it is a problem of the windows build. If it's not I'll post it in the support forum.
