Hello
I'm trying to install some xbmc scripts/plugins for my gentoo based distribution without success.
I'm using the pvr-testing branch from cvs (brandnew), the Python version is 2.6.2.
I tried the Navi-x script and the SVN Repo Installer and the log shows errors like:

NOTICE: -->Python Interpreter Initialized<--
11:56:40 T:3031587728 M:439255040 ERROR: zip://%2froot%2f%2exbmc%2fscripts%2fCommon%20Scripts%2fexamples%2ezip/examples/dialogbrowse.py not found!
...
12:01:49 T:3030363024 M:432275456 NOTICE: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/root/.xbmc/plugins/video/Navi-X\\init\\favorites.plx'
...

This looks like these plugins/scripts are expecting a windows system ?!
Any hints what I can try ?

You might want to check out Hepi's pvr-testing builds, there are PPA details in the VDR thread under howto's.
I'm using the latest one and Python stuff is working fine..

Are you using the builtin python libs or the external one ?

[spiff]

2.6.2 - must be external.

I also use the external ones, but still get this error ...

As far as I see, there is a general python problem:

16:42:15 T:3048437584 M:380444672 FATAL: Python: error loading python24.dll

python changes. not much we can do about that. patch to work with 2.6.2 welcome

[Helau]

So its recommended not to use external libraries ?!

I use external for everything but python

What pyhon version is supported? The linux.readme say python-dev which doesn't say much.

Does

Python: error loading python24.dll

mean 2.4? ("Yes" seems obvious but so does "that has nothing to do with the python version.")
